What is the function of the plantar tester

A plantar pedicle analyzer provides a comprehensive assessment of foot structure, helping to identify plantar-related issues and guiding medical intervention, health management, or custom footwear.

Depending on the type of plantar pedicle analyzer, its functions can be categorized as follows:

1. Analyzing Foot Structure

A plantar pedicle analyzer accurately measures foot length, width, arch height, toe alignment, and instep curve. By analyzing these structural parameters, it can determine whether an individual has foot abnormalities such as flat feet, high arches, or hallux valgus.

2. Assisting in the Diagnosis of Flat and High Arches

The 3D foot image generated by the instrument visually indicates whether the arch is collapsed or elevated, helping doctors quickly determine whether flat feet or high arches exist, and analyzing the symmetry of the left and right feet, providing a basis for clinical diagnosis.

3. Guiding Personalized Orthotic Design

Based on plantar structural data, technicians can customize orthotic insoles or supportive footwear to better fit the individual's foot needs, thereby alleviating fatigue, improving posture, and reducing foot discomfort.

4. Tracking Foot Changes and Intervention Effectiveness

For patients undergoing long-term rehabilitation or undergoing foot intervention, a plantar monitor can provide periodic comparative images, clearly reflecting the evolution of foot shape and structure, helping doctors adjust treatment plans.

5. Assisting in Monitoring Children's Foot Development

During childhood, as the arch of the foot is not yet fully formed, a plantar monitor can be used to regularly record the trajectory of foot shape and development, identifying abnormalities early on, such as persistent flat feet, pigeon-toedness, or varus-valgus tendencies, enabling parents and doctors to intervene promptly.

6. Serving Sports and Health Management

In the sports sector, a plantar monitor can be used to assess standing balance, body structure, and other issues, helping athletes and fitness enthusiasts understand foot characteristics, reduce the risk of sports injuries, and optimize training methods.

7. Improving the Accuracy of Footwear Customization

For high-end footwear customization services, the data provided by a plantar monitor can significantly improve product fit and comfort, enhancing the user experience and making it a crucial tool for the digital transformation of the footwear industry.
