What are the functions of gait and plantar pressure analyzer in adolescent campus foot screening

Gait plantar pressure analyzer, also referred to as gait analysis system, and also known as plantar pressure distribution system.

This equipment adopts high-sensitivity array pressure sensors to real-timely collect gait data such as the plantar pressure distribution of each foot part in human static or walking states.

Its measurement modes include: static measurement, dynamic measurement and balance measurement.

In campus foot screening, the application of gait plantar pressure analyzer has the following functions and significance:

1. It can detect hidden foot diseases.

Some foot diseases are deeply hidden in the early stage without obvious external features, which cannot be identified by naked eyes.

Through the detection of the plantar pressure distribution system, potential foot deformities can be found, such as flat feet, high arches, varus feet, valgus feet and excessive high-pressure areas on the sole.

For teenagers and children, their bones are in the stage of growth and development. If potential foot problems can be detected in a timely manner, early intervention and correction can be realized. In the incomplete bone development stage, correction is easier with ideal effects and lower costs.

If the examination is delayed until adulthood, once foot problems are found, radical cure and complete correction will become difficult, or require greater costs, and even cannot be completely cured.

Therefore, regular plantar screening for teenagers and children is highly necessary, which can better protect children’s foot health.

2. It can establish complete foot tracking files for children.
The foot development of children is staged from 12 to 16 years old.

The standard values of gait data including plantar pressure distribution data vary in different growth stages.

Personal foot health files can be established by collecting plantar pressure distribution data regularly, such as conducting detection once every six months.

When foot problems occur, lesion development stages can be traced through these personal plantar data files, so as to carry out targeted treatment and correction and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Feet bear the weight of the entire human body, and foot health will even affect the health of the whole body.

For example, the development of foot arches and gait health conditions will directly affect the healthy growth of the spine, pelvis and bones all over the body.
