How does the 3DOE eWay2000 plantar gait analyzer conduct testing and application?

3DOE eWay2000 plantar gait analyzer is a device that collects data such as the pressure distribution of each part of the sole when a person is in the state of static standing or walking through the pressure plate in real time via plantar pressure sensors.

There are three measurement modes, namely static measurement, dynamic measurement and balance measurement.

1. Static Measurement

The tester only needs to stand still on the pressure plate and keep the body relaxed with eyes looking straight ahead. The technician clicks the start button of static measurement on the screen, and the test can be completed in about 10 seconds.

After the static measurement is completed, the measured data can be viewed online on the test software, and the measurement report can also be directly exported for saving, which can be preserved by printing or sending to the mobile phone.

The main data of static measurement include: full foot pressure, full foot contact area, high-pressure points, hindfoot pressure ratio, forefoot pressure ratio, gait deviation angle, average pressure, forefoot maximum pressure, forefoot average pressure, arch index, arch type, arch contact area, arch average pressure, arch maximum pressure, flat foot and high arch evaluation, heel width, heel contact area, heel maximum pressure, heel average pressure, heel angle, heel type, calf type and other data.


2. Balance Measurement

Balance measurement is the same as static measurement, which only requires standing quietly.

The test can generally be completed in only 5 to 10 seconds.

The data can be viewed online directly on the software, and the measurement report can be exported. After the measurement report is exported, it can be printed and saved by a printer or sent to a mobile phone for storage through social software.

The main data of balance measurement include: center of gravity trajectory length, basic support area, maximum front-back distance of the center of gravity, maximum left-right distance of the center of gravity, average value of front-back center of gravity speed, average value of left-right center of gravity speed, average speed of center of gravity trajectory, maximum value of center of gravity trajectory, front-back swing curve, left-right swing curve and so on.

3. Dynamic Measurement

When conducting dynamic measurement, it is required to walk back and forth through the plantar pressure plate for 3 to 5 times, and then calculate the average value, so that the obtained data will be more accurate.

During walking, keep the body relaxed and natural just like daily walking, so that the measured data can conform to the actual values.

The overall dynamic measurement generally takes about 10 to 30 seconds. The measured data can be viewed online and the measurement report can be exported directly.

The main data of dynamic measurement include: left and right foot gait trajectory diagrams, bipedal force analysis, characteristic position diagrams, time-varying force change diagrams of characteristic positions of the left foot, time-varying force change diagrams of characteristic positions of the right foot, time-varying force change data tables of characteristic positions of the left foot, time-varying force change data tables of characteristic positions of the right foot, contact time, contact area, peak pressure, peak pressure time, maximum pressure, maximum pressure time, peak pressure integral, maximum pressure integral, gait deviation angle analysis, foot length, foot width, heel width, shoe size recommendation and other data.

The plantar pressure distribution system of 3DOE is widely applied in biomechanics research, scheme provision for foot disease research, early detection of high-risk groups of diabetic foot combined with other clinical examinations, design and production of orthotic insoles, quantitative evaluation of orthopedic surgical effects, quantitative evaluation of rehabilitation treatment feasibility, as well as curative effect tracking and evaluation before and after correction or surgery.
