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.

Technical data for the pedar pad:
• Number of sensors: 56 (7 x 8)
• Size of one sensor: 10 x 20 mm²
• Sensor area: 70 x 160 mm²
• Pressure range: 15.0 – 600.0 kPa
• Sensor resolution: 0.5 sensor/cm²

Plantar pressure measurement in diabetic foot disease: A scoping review

Lockhart M; Dinneen SF; O'Keeffe DT · Journal of Diabetes Investigation 15(8):990–999 · First online 18 April 2024

Primary application: Validation & reliability

Systems reviewed: pedar-X; comparison with Medilogic, Tekscan, SurroSense Rx and Moticon OpenGo in cited literature

The review reports that pedar-X had the greatest accuracy and repeatability in a cited comparison with Medilogic and Tekscan. It cautions that pressure thresholds derived using pedar-X should not be transferred uncritically to other devices. This is a synthesis of earlier studies, not a new validation experiment, and it retains wired-use and cost limitations of the reviewed system.

Advancements in diabetic foot insoles: a comprehensive review of design, manufacturing, and performance evaluation

Ren Y; Wang H; Song X; Wu Y; Lyu Y; Zeng W · Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology 12:1394758 · First online 15 July 2024

Primary application: Validation & reliability

Systems reviewed: pedar / pedar-X in the reviewed diabetic-insole studies

Section 5 and Table 6 favour pedar-X accuracy and repeatability over earlier F-Scan reports for diabetic-insole evaluation. This is a qualitative historical comparison, not a matched head-to-head validation; the review also notes reduced accuracy at low pressures over short loading periods. These descriptions do not establish superiority over current competitor generations.

Reviews pedar repeatability and comparisons with other in-shoe systems. In the cited comparison with Medilogic and Tekscan, pedar had the highest pressure-measurement validity, while Medilogic performed best for contact-area validity and all three systems showed high repeatability. This is secondary evidence for the tested systems and protocols, not a new experiment or proof of universal superiority.

Systems reviewed: pedar; exact model unspecified in the comparative discussion

The Discussion reports more accurate and repeatable uniform-pressure measurements with pedar than with F-Scan, and lower between-sensor variance. It distinguishes this measurement-performance evidence from outpatient biofeedback usability and affordability. The review synthesizes earlier work rather than providing a new validation; its citation inconsistencies warrant consulting the original comparison studies before using detailed claims.

The Biofeedback Devices section reports that a cited comparison favoured pedar over F-Scan for validity and reliability. The review also discusses other systems' clinical usability and the broader promise of biofeedback training. This is historical secondary evidence, not new pedar measurements or proof that pedar improves clinical outcomes more than every alternative.
