The Podiascan system provides podiatrists and biomechanists with an economical and efficient method to measure static / dynamic plantar foot pressure distribution. The Podiascan system produces instantaneous and permanent high resolution image of the pressure distribution across the planter surface.

The Podiascan consist of a Harrismat / Foot Imprinter, Scanner and window based image analysis software.

Pedography is a measuring tool for the early recognition of altered pressure patterns in the individual with diabetes. It was documented that during the walking the neuropathic forefoot displayed increased and longer loadings than healthy forefoot. The neuropathic patients also exhibited a “slap” gait. Many neuropathic feet had substantially higher localized pressure, particularly at the metatarsal area than the non-neuroapthic feet.

The Charcot of foot displays higher pressure in the midfoot region as compared to the typical diabetic foot pattern. The 1:1 hard copy of the pedography platform measurement provides a baseline for the construction of the shoe insert.
