Foot is an important supporting structure of the human body. Foot health directly affects walking posture, movement ability and bone development.
Children and adolescents, in particular, are still developing their feet. Structural abnormalities such as flat feet, high arches or valgus foot can not only cause local soreness, but can also affect the physical curves of knees, hips and even the spine.
Therefore, scientific and objective measurement and analysis of foot data is of great importance for the protection of individual health, the development of exercise rehabilitation plans and the promotion of foot health research.
The plantar pressure distribution system combines the functions of pressure sensors, mechanical analysis, digital image, etc.. It can obtain multi-dimensional data such as plantar pressure distribution, gait characteristics, arch height and load distribution in real time and accurately.
The measurement data can effectively reflect the stress characteristics of the foot under static and dynamic conditions and reveal potential structural abnormalities or dysfunction of the foot.
For example, by analyzing pressure peaks, the trajectory of pressure centers, and comparing left and right feet, it is possible to determine whether a person has plantar deviation, uneven load distribution, or gait abnormalities, providing scientific evidence for early intervention.
There are many applications of plantar pressure distribution data in clinical and health management.
First, it can be used as a diagnostic basis to assess the risk of flatfoot, high arch, outcropping foot and various sports injuries.
Physicians or rehabilitation specialists can reduce the incidence of motor sports injuries quantifying the area of abnormal stress distribution and implementing targeted corrective training, orthotic insole plans, or rehabilitation programs.
Secondly, the system can provide data support for sports science research. For example, by statistical analysis and comparison of plantar pressure data by age, sex or type of physical activity, it is possible to explore gait development patterns, load distribution during exercise and its impact on foot health.
In addition, long-term data accumulation provides foundational information for public health management, physical monitoring of children and adolescents, and the development of smart footwear.
From the point of view of scientific research and education, the plantar pressure distribution system can also promote the development of personalized health management.
Combining digital analysis with artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically identify and warn of abnormal stress patterns, it provides an efficient and scientific monitoring tool for schools, sports teams and rehabilitation institutions.
At the same time, the system can be applied to evaluate the design and suitability of shoe types and to facilitate preventive health interventions by quantifying the impact of different footwear or training programmes on stress distribution, providing accurate guidance to footwear manufacturers and sports training.
