The plantar 3D scanner plays an important role in the detection and measurement of arches. It captures the structural data of the foot through high-precision 3D imaging technology and provides detailed analysis of the arch morphology. It is often used in medicine, orthopedics, sports rehabilitation and shoe customization.

1. How does the plantar 3D scanner detect the arch?

The plantar 3D scanner obtains 3D data of the sole through technologies such as laser, structured light or depth camera, and mainly detects the following parameters:

Arch height: Evaluate the high, medium and low state of the arch to determine whether there is flat foot or high arch foot.

Arch index (AI): Calculate the foot area ratio to measure the arch morphology.

Arch symmetry: Compare the differences between the arches of the left and right feet to find potential gait problems.

2. Advantages of plantar 3D scanners for measuring arches

1. High-precision measurement

It can provide millimeter-level 3D arch data, which is more accurate than traditional footprint measurement.

2. Contactless scanning, safe and hygienic

Adopting optical scanning, no physical contact is required, reducing the risk of cross infection.

3. Quick data acquisition

Short scanning time, arch measurement can be completed in a few seconds, improving detection efficiency.

4. Visual analysis

Generate an intuitive three-dimensional foot model to help doctors or technicians accurately evaluate the arch condition.

5. Data storage and comparison

Record the changes in the patient's arch at different time periods and monitor long-term foot health.

Application scenarios

Medical diagnosis: Detect arch abnormalities, such as flat feet, high arches, etc., and use them for podiatry research.

Customized corrective insoles: Make personalized corrective insoles based on arch data to improve gait and foot mechanics.

Sports medicine: Assess the stability of athletes' feet, optimize sports performance, and reduce the risk of injury.

Monitoring of children's foot development: Observe the development of children's arches and prevent foot diseases.
