0MEDILOGIC INSOLES are insoles for the assessment of load distribution – in other words, it is a system for recording and assessing load distribution using inserts placed directly in the shoes of the examined person. The system of footwear inserts allows to measure the distribution of forces on the sole of the foot. The system is based on the technology of baro-resistive sensors with the possibility of viewing data in real time and enables wireless data transfer from the inserts via modem to the computer. The system includes a set of measuring inserts for footwear that allow to determine the distribution of pressure on the foot and the vertical reaction of the ground during the implementation of various forms of movement: walking, running, climbing and descending stairs or other physical activities (including sports). The advantage of the system is the ability to make continuous measurements for 30s to 360s, with a sampling frequency of 60Hz-240Hz.
Examples of inserts applications:
- assessment of gait abnormalities and asymmetry,
- supporting to compensation eliminating training,
- assessment of forces during contact with the ground, especially when running (increased loads),
- identification of zones of increased foot load,
- assessment of the performance of the musculoskeletal system, assessment of the running style and body balance during dynamic activities,
- analysis of plantar pressure distribution in various forms of physical activity,
- assessment of changes in load distribution depending on the type of prosthetic and orthopedic equipment used.
We carry out our tests according to the client individual instructions. We’re open to determine the course of research for non-standard requirements.
