Abstract
The present invention is a system and method for identifying certain physical properties of human feet. The system uses electronic and optical elements to perform before and after pronation test and before and after arch tests (meaning before and after use of an orthotic), and develop a 360 degree, three-dimensional view of the foot.
Claims3
A system for identifying physical properties of human feet, comprising:
- a processor configuring the system and receiving, analyzing, processing, and storing data related to physical properties of human feet;
- a pressure-plate, coupled to the processor, measuring pressure points of the feet of persons when standing on the pressure plate;
- an array of Infrared Light Emitting Diodes (IR LED's) coupled to the processor and configured by the processor to gather length and width measurements of the feet of persons when standing on the pressure plate;
- a circular printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to the processor and situated around the pressure plate and providing a mounting perimeter around the pressure plate;
- a plurality of cameras coupled to and situated in an approximately even distribution on the circular PCB, with lenses of the cameras aimed towards a center of the pressure plate;
- whereby:
- when a person stands on the pressure plate with a single foot, the processor operates the system to:
- measure and store data related to pressure points and the length and width of the person's foot;
- operate the plurality of cameras to capture and store a first set of images of the person's foot from each of the cameras;
- and
- process the stored data to produce for display a 360 degree, 3-dimensional image of the person's foot and information regarding the shoe size and insole type for the measured foot.
