Plantar Pressure Scan For Diabetic Foot Care & Screening Systems
FOOT PRESSURE MAPPING SYSTEM
PODO i MAT
The PODO i MAT system is the plantar pressure mapping technology. It provides information about the pressure distribution on foot and loading of the anatomical structures of the foot. This system can be utilized when evaluating the possible effect of specialized physiotherapy or a surgery operation measuring the pressure distributions before and after the treatment. The PODO i MAT system produces high resolution image of the plantar pressure distribution with multi colors. System consist of Foot imprinter, Scanner, pressure mapping and Patient Report software Easy method to find pressure due to an excessive mechanical stress on the plantar area Multi-color image output for easy interpretation with lesser time.
Used to identify:
- Pressure ulcer areas
- Foot Deformities
- Gait disorders in a specific region of the foot.
- Pre and post surgery evaluation

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a plantar pressure scan, and why is it important for diabetic foot care?
A plantar pressure scan measures how body weight and pressure are distributed across different areas of the foot while standing or walking. It helps doctors detect high-pressure points, deformities, and early signs of ulcer risk in diabetic patients before visible wounds appear, allowing for timely treatment and preventive offloading.
2. How does the PODO i MAT foot pressure mapping system work?
PODO i MAT is a plantar foot pressure mapping system that captures high-resolution, multi-color images showing pressure distribution across the sole of the foot. The system uses a foot imprinter, scanner, and dedicated software to generate reports that help clinicians evaluate excessive mechanical stress, gait issues, and pre- and post-surgery changes.
3. Who should undergo plantar pressure mapping or foot pressure scanning?
Plantar pressure mapping is recommended for diabetic patients, people with foot deformities, and those with a history of foot ulcers or gait problems. It is also useful for patients undergoing foot or lower limb surgery to compare pre- and post-operative foot loading patterns.
4. What is the FOOTWORK automatic foot scan system used for?
The FOOTWORK system is an electronic pedometer platform that records static, stabilo, 3D, and dynamic foot pressure data over an active area of 40 cm x 40 cm. It is lightweight, durable, and connects via USB, making it ideal for clinics that need mobile, recalibration-free plantar pressure assessments for diabetic and orthopedic patients.
5. How does a Harris mat help in diabetic foot screening?
A Harris mat visually highlights high-pressure points and weight imbalance on the soles as darkened areas on an imprint. These dark zones can indicate potential sites of ulceration in diabetic feet, helping clinicians decide on offloading, footwear modification, or further pressure mapping tests.
6. Why is foot temperature monitoring important in diabetic patients?
In diabetic patients, a rise in local foot temperature compared to the opposite foot can signal inflammation, early infection, or ulcer formation. Regular monitoring with an infrared thermometer helps detect these changes early so doctors can intervene before serious complications develop.
7. What are the features of the FORA IR10 infrared thermometer for foot temperature monitoring?
The FORA IR10 infrared thermometer is a non-contact device designed to measure local skin temperature from 0°C to 50°C with 0.1°C resolution. It is compact, battery-operated, stores up to 20 measurements, and meets ASTM E1965-98 accuracy requirements, making it suitable for routine diabetic foot temperature checks in clinics.
8. How do diabetic foot care systems help prevent ulcers and amputations?
Diabetic foot care systems like plantar pressure mapping, Harris Mat imprinting, and infrared temperature monitoring identify pressure hotspots, deformities, and early inflammation before ulcers form. Based on these objective findings, clinicians can prescribe customized footwear, insoles, physiotherapy, or surgical interventions to reduce pressure and prevent complications.
9. What type of clinics or hospitals can benefit from Kody Medical’s diabetic foot care solutions?
Kody Medical’s diabetic foot care systems are ideal for diabetes clinics, vascular and podiatry centers, physiotherapy departments, and hospitals with dedicated diabetic foot care units. They integrate easily into routine screening camps, OPD assessments, and follow-up visits for high-risk diabetic patients.
10. How can I get more information or purchase diabetic foot care equipment from Kody Medical?
