发明名称 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE SOLE OF A FOOT
摘要 The method of the invention maps pressure applied by resilient body surface onto a plurality of movable gauge pins. The method includes the steps of: providing relative movement between the resilient body and the movable gauge pins to cause the gauge pins to come into contact with the body so as to define a three-dimensional surface which approximates the surface of the body; measuring the position of each of the gauge pins as a reference position of each; using a spring element to apply a pressure to each of the gauge pins; measuring a position of each of the gauge pins after application of the pressure, to determine a test position of each gauge pin; subtracting the reference position of each gauge pin from the test position of each gauge pin to determine a pressure displacement of each gauge pin; and utilizing the pressure displacement and a spring constant of the spring elements which applied the pressure to the movable gauge pins to derive a pressure exerted upon each gauge pin by the resilient body surface to enable a subsequent analysis thereof.
