What medical and sports scenarios are foot scanners suitable for?

2025-08-11

The following is an analysis of the core application scenarios of foot scanners in the medical and sports fields:

1. Medical Diagnosis and Treatment

Precise Diagnosis of Foot Deformities

Quickly identify structural abnormalities such as flat feet (medial longitudinal arch angle >130°), high arches (abnormally raised arch), and varus and valgus. Scanning accuracy reaches submillimeter levels, improving diagnostic efficiency by 80% compared to traditional visual inspection.

Combined with 3D models, quantifies hallux valgus angle (>15° requires correction), providing data support for surgical planning.

Personalized Orthopedic Device Customization

Based on arch width and metatarsal height data, 3D-print biomechanical corrective insoles improve plantar force distribution.

Personalized prosthetic socket adaptation reduces residual limb wear by up to 60%.

II. Sports Science Application Scenarios

Sports Injury Prevention

Detecting Achilles tendon tension abnormalities caused by arch collapse, enabling early intervention and intensive training.

Scientific Equipment Customization

Designing forefoot grip zones for sprinters, with spike placement based on peak metatarsal pressure.

Personalized modeling of ski boot linings improves foot circulation in low-temperature environments.

III. Monitoring Scenario for Special Populations

Children's Foot Development Monitoring: Regular scans track arch formation and enable early intervention for developmental abnormalities (e.g., the golden period for flatfoot correction in children aged 4-6).

Fall Prevention Management for the Elderly: Foot scans identify those at high risk for plantar sensory degeneration.
