Plantar Pressure Measurement Systems
Elevated dynamic plantar pressures are a consistent finding in diabetes patients with peripheral neuropathy with implications for plantar foot ulceration. Plantar pressures appear to be significantly higher in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy with a history of foot ulceration compared to those with diabetic neuropathy without a history of ulceration.
Plantar pressure measurements are measured with Foot Imprinter Harris Mat, Podiascan and Podiastat.
Foot Imprinter Harris Mat Product Code: FM1111
Early identification of feet ‘at risk’ for ulceration is important in preventing plantar lesions in diabetic patients with insensitive feet. Plantar pressures are higher in diabetic neuropathic patients than non-diabetic and non-neuropathic Counterparts. As high plantar pressure is a proven risk factor for foot ulceration, effective screening for high plantar pressures in diabetic patients could have a major influence on the incidence of diabetic foot ulceration.
Features
- Display patient weight disbursement in grey scale
- Detects the area of the greatest concern for ulceration
- Useful to identify Charcot arthropathy
- Arch of the patient can be detected
- Excellent tool for motivating the patient to upgrade to a good footwear

Simple Plantar Pressure System Product Code: 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.
Features
- Uses Foot Imprinter Harris Mat FM1111 and its accessories
- Supplied with software that supports Windows operated computer
- Software converts the grey scale image into a colorful report
- Footwear measurement can be entered in the software
- ABI, VPT, MF scores and measurements can be added in the report

Electronic Sensor Foot Pressure Mapping System – PODIASTAT
The foot pressure sensor plate model PODIASTAT is an accurate electronic system for recording and evaluating pressure distribution under the foot in static (weight-bearing), dynamic(walking) and postural conditions. Foot pressure mapping system Podiastat is a measuring tool for the early recognition of altered pressure patterns in the individual with diabetes. Measurements are more easily acquired, processed, and interpreted, and they are meaningful and effective in the assessment or in the monitoring of any foot or ankle treatment.
Features
- Measure static, dynamic, and postural pressure mapping
- Bi-directional walking facility on 400mm x 400mm sensing area
- Maximum of 200kg patient load
- Maximum Pressure 100N/cm2 at 100Hz
- Dimension of 565mm(L) x 612(D) x 22mm – 7mm(H)
