The pedar® system* measures the interaction between foot, shoe and ground, by inserting a sensor insole into the shoe.
Sensor insoles of various sizes (length and width) can be connected by cable to an electronic box, which sends the data to a computer via Bluetooth® telemetry. The insoles are made of capacitive sensors, which are calibrated and guarantee high repeatability, and also elasticity to conform well to the three-dimensional surface of the feet. The client puts the sensor insoles inside his shoes then the measurement gets started from computer and the client can walks some step until the measurement gets stopped.
The transmitted data can be observed in real time on the screen, and afterwards there can be made an analysis or just a calculation via a pedar® report.

Download here the pedar insole catalogue to see the insole sizes and the schematic drawing of each sensor insole. Please notice that one insole size covers two foot sizes.
pedar® pad
The pedar® pad is a highly elastic 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 the 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
