Digital Foot Scanning

Digital Foot Scanning is an advanced diagnostic service at Lucknow Diabetic Foot and Wound Care Centre, designed to analyze the structure, pressure distribution, and risk zones of the foot. This high-precision, noninvasive technology is especially beneficial for patients with diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, and foot complications, enabling early detection of abnormalities and the creation of personalized treatment plans, including custom orthotics and diabetic footwear.

Why Digital Foot Scanning Is Essential for Diabetic Patients

Diabetes often leads to nerve damage and poor circulation, which increases the risk of unnoticed foot injuries, deformities, and ulcers. Because these issues may develop painlessly, they frequently go untreated until serious complications occur.

Digital foot scanning helps to:

- Detect high-pressure points that can cause ulcers
- Identify abnormal weight distribution and gait mechanics
- Monitor progression of foot deformities such as Charcot foot or hammertoes
- Assist in designing custom insoles and orthopedic footwear
- Track healing and prevent re-ulceration in previously affected patients

This test is crucial in preventing amputations and improving foot function in diabetic individuals.

What Is Digital Foot Scanning?

Digital foot scanning uses 3D imaging and pressure-sensitive technology to analyze both foot structure and function. It offers:

- Static analysis: Performed while standing to evaluate arch shape, posture, and balance
- Dynamic analysis: Conducted while walking to assess gait and pressure patterns
- 3D foot mapping: Detailed visualization of the foot’s surface contours and deformities

These insights help our specialists detect biomechanical issues that a physical exam may miss.

The Process: What to Expect

- You will stand or walk barefoot on a digital scanning mat or platform
- The system records pressure distribution, posture, and movement in real time
- A 2D and 3D image of each foot is generated
- A gait report highlights any biomechanical issues or high-risk zones
- Our experts review the results to design appropriate care solutions

The test is painless, takes under 15 minutes, and does not involve any radiation.

Who Should Get a Digital Foot Scan?

- Diabetics with tingling, burning, or numbness in the feet
- Patients with recurring ulcers, calluses, or corns
- Individuals with foot pain, poor posture, or walking problems
- People needing gait correction, footwear adjustments, or custom orthotics
- Post-surgical patients or those with structural deformities

Benefits of Digital Foot Scanning

- Pinpoints high-risk pressure zones accurately
- Prevents diabetic foot ulcers and potential amputations
- Supports design of effective pressure-relieving orthotics
- Monitors progress during wound healing and physical therapy
- Aids in managing balance issues, toe deformities, and varicose veins
