pedar®: Dynamic pressure distribution inside the footwear.

Request a quote ↓

The pedar system is an accurate and reliable pressure distribution measuring system for monitoring local loads between the foot and the shoe. The pedar offers the ultimate versatility with its multiple standard features and operating modes. The pedar utilizes the plidar electronics.  The plidar transmits the pressure data via WiFi to the computer, where it is displayed in real time. It can also store data onboard with 32 GB memory.

54 g of pure efficiency

The system is a tiny, lightweight and easy to use system with:

  • only 54 g matchbox-sized electronics
  • scans 99 sensors up to 400 Hz
  • setup time < 1 min, including mounting the sensors on the subject

All of these features make the pedar system extremely mobile and flexible to meet virtually all testing needs such as walking, running, climbing stairs, carrying loads, playing soccer, or even riding a bicycle. The results are therefore more relevant to real-life.

The pedar system connects to highly conforming, elastic sensor insoles that cover the entire plantar surface of the foot, or to sensor pads for the dorsal, medial or lateral areas of the foot.

The pedar system allows multiple synchronisation options to be used i.e. with video systems for gait analysis.

The pedar sensors use capacitive technology – known to provide the best accuracy for pressure measurement on the human body.

Why is capacitive sensing the best choice for research?

Reliability and reproducibility are essential for meaningful research because only consistent and repeatable measurements can support valid scientific conclusions. Insoles using capacitive technology with lower error and higher repeatability—like pedar compared to resistive insoles—provide more trustworthy data for clinical and research use. (As shown in this article)

Applications of pedar system:

Footwear shoe research and design:
It helps optimize footwear design by providing real-time, detailed pressure distribution data to improve comfort, performance, and injury prevention
Diabetic Foot Care:
It helps in monitoring and managing foot health in diabetic patients, particularly those with neuropathy, by identifying high-pressure areas that could lead to ulcers.
Orthopedic Assessments:
Used to evaluate and treat conditions like flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and other musculoskeletal disorders by analyzing pressure distribution and gait patterns.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation:
Assists in tracking recovery progress and ensuring proper load distribution during rehabilitation after surgeries such as knee or hip replacements.
Sports Medicine and biomechanics:
Helps in optimizing athletic performance and preventing injuries by analyzing foot mechanics during various sports activities.
Prosthetics and Orthotics:
Used to design and adjust prosthetic limbs and orthotic devices to ensure proper fit and function, improving patient comfort and mobility.
Pediatric Assessments:
Assists in diagnosing and treating pediatric foot conditions, ensuring proper development and preventing future issues.

trublu calibration device

With the aid of the trublu calibration device, all sensors of the pedar system are individually calibrated. Calibration guarantees accurate and reproducible data and can be checked by the user at any time.

WiFi telemetry

The pedar works with a WiFi telemetry system in a wide range. The pedar includes a built-in WiFi system and communicates with various WiFi routers connected to the PC. The telemetry allows the user to watch the subject and at the same time fully control the testing from a PC. The dynamic pressure data can be viewed online and the subject advised how to perform. The system is a perfect tool for teaching and for biofeedback testing.

pedar pad

The pedar pad is a highly flexible sensor for measurements on the dorsal side of the foot inside the shoe. It can be combined with pedar insoles for simultaneous measurement of the plantar and the dorsal aspect of the foot to monitor shoe fit.

Development of a Novel Modular Footwear Setup for Testing the Isolated Biomechanical Effects of Footwear Features

Sarlak H; Shakir K; Rogati G; Sartorato G; Leardini A; Berti L; Caravaggi P. · Journal of Foot and Ankle Research 19(3):e70203

Primary application: Footwear

System: pedar-X

Device-use evidence and verification notes

Evidence: Ten healthy adults completed walking trials in modular and control footwear. The methods specify pedar-X insoles with 99 capacitive sensors at 100 Hz to measure regional mean and peak pressures across three sessions.

Notes: The footwear setup showed good-to-excellent pressure-measurement repeatability. This evaluates the modular footwear setup, not pedar hardware itself; the Validation & reliability tag is therefore not assigned. The small healthy cohort limits generalization.

Comparative Analysis of Plantar Pressure in Walker Boots, Postoperative Shoes, and Standard Shoes

Kim DY; Kyung MG; Kang HW; Kim J; Lee DY. · Clinics in Orthopedic Surgery 18:e44 (online first)

Primary application: Postoperative care

System: pedar-X

Device-use evidence and verification notes

Evidence: Twenty-one healthy men walked in randomized footwear conditions. Pedar-X insoles with 99 sensors at 50 Hz recorded regional forces, pressures and time integrals in walker boots, postoperative shoes and standard athletic shoes.

Notes: The experiment concerns postoperative-footwear applications, but participants were not surgical patients. Different offloading patterns and elevated heel loading concern the footwear, not a negative evaluation of pedar. Contralateral footwear height was not equalized.

Pregnancy-related transverse arch deformation: a subject-specific finite element analysis of the contributions of body weight and tissue stiffness

Li X; Lu Z; Fang Y; Fekete G; Sun D; Gu Y. · BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth 26:902

Primary application: Computational modeling

System: pedar (model not specified)

Device-use evidence and verification notes

Evidence: Pedar plantar-pressure measurements during standing were used to check forefoot and heel predictions from the same participant's finite-element foot model in its non-pregnant reference condition.

Notes: Pregnancy-related changes were simulated by varying body weight and tissue stiffness. This is not a pedar measurement study in a pregnant cohort. Pedar supplied reference measurements for model evaluation, rather than being the validation target.

Primary application: Diabetic foot

System: pedar; emed for separate barefoot measurements

Device-use evidence and verification notes

Evidence: Calibrated pedar insoles, each with 99 sensors, recorded in-shoe walking pressures in standardized extra-depth footwear. Separate emed measurements supplied barefoot maps. The final region-mapping analysis included 25 feet from 16 people with diabetes.

Notes: The study compared measurement conditions, not interchangeable readings from identical setups. Footwear and spatial-resolution differences affect interpretation; some high-pressure regions matched while others differed. This is not classified as pedar-device validation.

Comparison of the Effects of Insoles Used in Diabetes Mellitus on Plantar Pressure: A Pilot Study

Mossayebi A; Doğru SC; Shakouri E. · Afyon Kocatepe University Journal of Science and Engineering 26(1):238–248

Primary application: Orthotics

System: pedar (model not specified)

Device-use evidence and verification notes

Evidence: The methods describe pedar insoles with 99 sensors for standing and walking tests with and without insoles. The prefabricated-silicone-insole test is compared with pressure data from three previously published insole studies.

Notes: This is a small pilot comparison incorporating earlier datasets, not a new four-arm clinical trial. Each component study involved one participant; the prefabricated-insole participant was healthy. The diabetic-foot tag describes the design application, not every participant's diagnosis.

The predictive value of cumulative plantar tissue stress on future plantar foot ulceration in people with diabetes—A 12-month prospective observational study

Hulshof CM; van Netten JJ; Busch-Westbroek TE; Sabelis LWE; Peters EJG; Pijnappels M; Bus SA. · Diabetic Medicine 42(10):e70099

Primary application: Diabetic foot

System: pedar-X; emed-X for separate barefoot measurements

Device-use evidence and verification notes

Evidence: In a 60-person high-risk diabetes cohort, pedar-X measured in-shoe pressures during walking and standing in participants' most-used footwear. Emed-X barefoot data, activity monitoring and footwear-adherence measurements contributed to a cumulative tissue-stress metric.

Notes: The combined tissue-stress metric did not predict ulceration over 12 months, although it was associated with pre-ulcerative lesions. This is a null finding about the clinical metric, not a finding that pedar failed or was inaccurate.

Design and evaluation of a wedge-shaped adaptive knee orthosis for the human lower limbs

Zhou X; Liu X; Hao J; Liu Y; Tang Y. · Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology 12:1439616

Primary application: Orthotics

System: pedar (commercial reference insole)

Device-use evidence and verification notes

Evidence: During development of a knee-orthosis pressure-testing system, the authors compared a self-made sensor insole on the right foot with a commercial pedar insole on the left during unbraced walking.

Notes: Pedar served as a reference comparison for another sensing system. The paper does not attribute every subsequent orthosis measurement to pedar; measurements from opposite feet are not a same-foot instrument-agreement test. No pedar validation tag is assigned.

Detection of freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease from foot-pressure sensing insoles using a temporal convolutional neural network

Park JM; Moon CW; Lee BC; Oh E; Lee J; Jang WJ; Cho KH; Lee SH. · Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience 16:1437707

Primary application: Parkinson's disease

System: pedar (model not specified)

Device-use evidence and verification notes

Evidence: Pedar insoles with 99 sensors per foot recorded walking pressure at 50 Hz for a neural-network freezing-of-gait detector. Four of 14 recruited participants met the final data-selection criteria.

Notes: The detector showed promising results in this small selected dataset. Transient Bluetooth-recording errors were filtered out; limited freezing episodes also restricted inclusion. This is algorithm development, not broad clinical validation or a claim of error-free recordings.

The Stress of Measuring Plantar Tissue Stress in People with Diabetes-Related Foot Ulcers: Biomechanical and Feasibility Findings from Two Prospective Cohort Studies

Hulshof CM; Page M; van Baal SG; Bus SA; Fernando ME; van Gemert-Pijnen L; Kappert KDR; Lucadou-Wells S; Najafi B; van Netten JJ; Lazzarini PA. · Sensors 24(8):2411

Primary application: Diabetic foot

System: pedar-X; emed-X for separate Netherlands-cohort barefoot measurements

Device-use evidence and verification notes

Evidence: Two cohorts used pedar-X at 50 Hz to measure walking pressures in removable offloading devices or regular footwear. The Netherlands cohort also underwent separate emed-X barefoot measurements.

Notes: The multi-device tissue-stress protocol had poor feasibility and incomplete data, leaving the ulcer-healing analysis underpowered. The authors identify validated measurement methods, but also equipment-sharing, cost, technical and participation difficulties; this is not presented as an unqualified success.
