Flat Feet: The Silent Health Threat

A staggering 50% of adults worldwide suffer from foot disorders, with flat feet (pes planus) emerging as a leading yet underdiagnosed condition. Left untreated, flat feet can trigger a cascade of health issues-from knee pain and spinal misalignment to chronic fatigue and increased fall risk.

The Hidden Dangers of Flat Feet
Flat feet aren't just a comfort issue-they're a biomechanical time bomb. When the foot's arch collapses, the body loses its natural shock absorption,forcing joints and muscles to compensate.

  • 30% of children aged 0–14 develop foot deformities linked to flat arches, impacting growth and posture.
  • Elderly patients with untreated flat feet face 68% higher fall risks due to instability.
  • Long-term effects include plantar fasciitis, ankle arthritis, X-shaped legs, and spinal degeneration.

"Feet are the body's foundation," notes Dr. Ken (orthopedic specialist). "When arches fail, the damage radiates upward-like a crumbling pillar destabilizing a building."

Now, breakthrough 3D scanning technology by Xianku Intelligent Co., Ltd. is revolutionizing diagnosis and treatment, offering precise, personalized solutions in seconds.

 

Who is Xianku and what is 3D Foot Scanner?

  • Xianku: Xianku is a global leading human data solution provider and a high-tech company that integrates the entire chain of foot data collection, analysis and application. Xianku is committed to using the power of technology to provide more effective solutions for human foot health.
  • 3D Foot Scanner: A high-tech device that integrates foot data scanning, foot 3D modeling, foot data analysis, insole/shoe/foot health solutions and measurement data matching. It is widely used in shoe retail scenarios, shoe customization/generation scenarios, orthopedic insole matching, functional insole customization, podiatry clinics, foot health physiotherapy structures, adolescent foot health screening, hospital orthopedics and other scenarios.

Different from traditional measurement methods
Traditional foot scanners rely on laser or manual measurement, which can only collect limited data (usually only on the sole) in more time. Insufficient accuracy can lead to improper orthosis or missed diagnosis.

Xianku's 3D Foot Scanner: Precision

The Xianku 3D Feet Scanner leverages infrared structured light and AI algorithms to transform foot health assessment. Key innovations:

  • 1-Second Full Foot Capture

Scans both feet simultaneously, generating 2 million data points.

Renders a 1:1 true 3D model with arch height, pressure points, and toe alignment.

  • 30+ Critical Metrics

Measures arch length/height, heel inclination, metatarsal stress, and valgus angles.

Flags risks for flat feet, high arches, bunions, and gait abnormalities.

  • AI-Powered Health Program

Instantly diagnoses flat foot severity (mild/moderate/severe).

Recommends custom 3D-printed insoles, corrective exercises, or footwear.

 

 

From Data to Solution: The Custom Insole Revolution

For flat feet sufferers, generic insoles often worsen discomfort. Xianku closes the loop with 3D printed orthotics:

  • Scan feet in 1 second at clinics, shoe stores, or gyms.
  • Receive a digital report in 5 seconds.
  • Transmit data to 3D printers for insoles molded to the exact arch contour.

"Millimeter-level precision ensures insoles correct imbalances at the source," says Zhang Wei, Xianku's CTO. "This reduces knee/spine strain by up to 40%."

 

Real-World Impact

Retail: Shoe stores (e.g., Dr. Kong) use scans to match customers with supportive footwear.

Rehab Clinics: Post-injury patients rebuild strength with data-guided exercises.

Sports Science: Athletes optimize performance by correcting asymmetries.

In pilot programs, users reported 52% less foot pain within 4 weeks of using custom insoles.

 

Global Foot Health, Democratized

Xianku's system is deployed across 3,000+ locations worldwide-from hospitals in Beijing to gyms in California. As a internationality High-Tech Enterprise with 50+ patents, its mission is clear: make advanced foot care accessible.

"Foot health is human health," states CEO. "With our tech, a 1-second scan can prevent a lifetime of pain."
