Applications of Plantar Pressure Distribution System in Gait Laboratory
I. Core Functions and Applications
Gait Parameter Collection and Analysis
Through high-precision pressure sensors, real-time capture of plantar pressure distribution, gait symmetry, center of gravity trajectory, and other data provides quantitative evidence for clinical diagnosis and rehabilitation evaluation.
Disease Diagnosis and Monitoring
- Quantitative assessment of the degree of foot deformities such as flatfoot and high arch
- Identification of diabetic foot ulcer risk and gait abnormalities in stroke patients
II. Technical Implementation Process
Data Collection Specification
- Subjects are required to stand barefoot on the pressure plate, with anatomical points such as the Achilles tendon center marked to ensure measurement accuracy
- Supports data collection under multiple movement states, including static standing and dynamic walking
3D Scanning Assisted Analysis
Combined with 3D foot shape scanning technology, it can simultaneously obtain morphological parameters such as arch type and varus/valgus angle, improving the comprehensiveness of evaluation.
III. Clinical Application Scenarios
Rehabilitation Medicine
- Guide gait training for patients with cerebral palsy and track weight-bearing recovery progress after fracture surgery
- Provide biomechanical basis for customized orthotic insoles
Sports Science
- Detect abnormal impact force distribution in athletes, optimize sports performance, and prevent injuries
Note: In actual applications, evaluation schemes need to be adjusted according to individual patient differences. The latest clinical guidelines recommend combining electromyography and other equipment for multi-modal analysis.
