Podiascan - Plantar Pressure System
Simple Plantar Pressure System - Podiascan
Feet provide the primary surface of interaction with the environment during locomotion. Thus, it is important to diagnose foot problems at an early stage for injury prevention, risk management and general wellbeing.
Although plantar pressure data have been recognized as an important element in the assessment of clients with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, information derived from plantar pressure data also can assist in determining and managing the impairments associated with various musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. Plantar pressure measurement systems identify and quantify areas of high pressure, helping you diagnose the root cause of lower extremity problems and design more effective offloading devices.
The footscan system Podiascan system provides podiatrist and biomechanists with an economical and efficient method to measure static / dynamic plantar foot pressure distribution. The foot scanner system Podiascan produces instantaneous and permanent high resolution image(foot scan) of the pressure distribution across the plantar surface.
