2D Foot Scanner | PT-2D Foot Scanner
The PT-2D Foot Pressure captures a two-dimensional image of the foot using optical technology and imaging. The device provides a visual representation of the plantar along with a simulated display of foot pressure. This 2D foot scanner allows for quick and high-speed primary assessment and analysis of the foot.
What is the application of the 2D Foot Scanner (Optical)?
PT-2D Foot Scanner can be used as a rapid tool for morphological analysis in clinical studies or orthopedics. It’s a straightforward device that, although lacking automated diagnosis, helps specialists detect relevant foot conditions through the examination of foot images. On the other hand, shoe salesmen can use a 2D scanner to accurately determine the foot size and choose an appropriate insole if needed.

How is 2D Foot Scanning Performed?
Foot scanning is conducted with this device in static mode, capturing both feet simultaneously. The 2D-foot scanner is a valuable tool for specialists due to its presentation of a realistic image of the foot although it does not use pressure sensors in its structure, the foot pressure distribution map provided by this device is created using image processing. In addition, it significantly helps in the design of orthotics and medical insoles. Moreover, specialists can quickly and accurately measure the foot length, width, type, size, and pressure regions by using the 2D-foot scanner.
It should be noted that 2D-foot scanners generally fall into the category of economical scanners. Therefore, they are commonly employed as a simple tool for initial examinations or as a complementary tool alongside 3D plantar scanners and foot pressure scanners for precise evaluation and effective treatment planning.
The output from the 2D foot scanner can be transferred to the PT-Insole Design software, enabling the design and production of medical insoles using CAD/CAM technology.
The software for this device allows for the comparison of reports before and after corrections and medical interventions. This comparison helps assess the impact of interventions on the patient’s foot condition and facilitates patient progress tracking.
What is the Difference Between Optical Foot Scanner and Pressure Scanner and 3D Scanner?
The 2Dfoot scanner is essentially a digital footprint. This device is constructed from a 2D scanner typically used for scanning text and paper. The optical scanner is placed inside a frame with a glass surface and essentially takes a true-to-life image of the plantar. There are no sensors in these scanners for measuring pressure or arch height.
Pressure simulation in different areas of the plantar is displayed through imaging and changing the colour of different parts of the plantar in this type of foot scanner. However, there is no ability to accurately measure foot pressure.
