3D Balance Foot
Here is the procedure to capture
the 3D balance foot impression:
Install the sensor mat on the
Ergomedic Calibrated Foam. Only this foam
cushion is calibrated with your system. Position
the indicator line of your sheet by following a
column of the sensor mat. Position the food on
the sensor mat so that you can align the
posterior centre of the heel with the space
between the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal heads.
When the first impression of the
foot is done, a milling frame will show up to
verify the positioning and isolate only that area
for pressure measurement. Keep a space of one
line of the sensors under the heel and centre
according to the medio-lateral arch.
Identify the central point of your
imprint. This point is located at the half-length
of the internal arch and the space between the 2nd
and 3rd metatarsal heads. The software will give
an approximation automatically for the position
of the central point. Verify is well placed and
reposition it as necessary.
Redistribute and balance the pressure on the foot
by observing the + or - arrows on the side by the
boxes marked, Heel Region, 1st Metatarsal Region
and 5th Metatarsal Region. To prevent that there
be a deformation of the foot when taking the
measurement, start by adjusting the pressure at
the heel (see Heel Region) to get an average of
between 41 et 72 mmHg. Once this pressure is
reach, concentrate on the forefoot, 5th
Metatarsal Region, to obtain the same average
that you have in the Heel Region. The calculation
shall be complete when the average pressures
obtained in each zone will have the desired
percentage. That is to say, 35% in the Heel
Region, 35% in the 5th Metatarsal Region and 30%
in the 1st Metatarsal Region for a total of 100%.
Place the three targets so as to
position them on the anatomic apexes of the three
bone references. Do not be influenced by the
position of the maximum sensors of the imprint.
The software will place the targets
approximately, do not forget to verify theses
positions and to correct them as needed.Next
