The system comprises a very thin sensor that is placed under the foot of the patient, a branch unit applied to the ankle and a processing station fitted with an acquisition card and specific control software.
The data is presented on a frame by frame basis, played as a video or displayed in 2D or 3D.
F-Scan provides dynamic-functional data for a complete and documentable evaluation of the foot being examined.
Three versions available:
F-Scan® - F-Scan provides bipedal plantar pressures and force measurement using paper-thin sensors placed inside the shoe to address and treat foot, gait, and posture related disorders. Now available with VersaTek technology.
F-Scan® Mobile - F-Scan Mobile is a light weight, portable version of the F-Scan providing greater flexibility for measuring foot pressures while running, jumping, climbing, or participating in sports.
F-Scan® Lite - F-Scan Lite is a single foot pressure analysis system that allows you to view pressure distribution of one foot at a time and to record the same information for playback and analysis of both feet.
Applications
