The single foot timing analysis (Figure 54) shows the different events and phases during a foot roll-off for the selected left and right foot. Figure 54: The single foot timing analysis screen.
Page 116: Full Plate
10.18 Full Plate The Full plate analysis (Figure 55) replays the full dynamic measurement, regardless of the foot selection. Figure 55: The Full plate analysis replays the full dynamic measurement. When playing, the analysis loops through the entire dynamic measurement. When stopped it shows the maximum sensor values of the first foot.
Page 117: Multi Step
10.19 Multi Step The multi step analysis is available in the Clinical, Scientific package(s). The multi step analysis (Figure 56) shows information about steps and strides in a dynamic measurement. Figure 56: The multi step analysis screen. All consecutive feet with the same orientation can be divided into steps and strides: A step contains two feet of different type.
Page 118 the step table. For each step and stride some parameters are calculated and shown in the corresponding step and stride table. Steps and strides can be annotated by toggling the toolbar button. Steps will be shown using dark blue dimension lines, while strides will be shown using dark green dimension lines.
Page 119: Compare: 2D
10.20 Compare: 2D The 2D comparison (Figure 57) compares the current foot selection to any other pair of feet. Figure 57: The 2D comparison compares the current foot selection to any other pair of feet. The comparison draws both pairs with the same color scale, displayed in the middle. The color scale uses the pressure value range of the current dynamic measurement as reference.
Page 120: Compare: Impulse
10.21 Compare: Impulse The Impulse comparison (Figure 58) displays two impulse analyses next to each other. Figure 58: The Impulse comparison compares two impulse analyses. Both analyses share the same color scale. The comparison sets the minimum- and maximum impulse value of the current foot selection as its value range. RS-PRD-00562-016...
Page 121: Compare: Areas
10.22 Compare: Areas The Areas comparison (Figure 59) compares the pressure applied on the major foot areas (mid-, fore- and rearfoot) of two pairs of feet. Figure 59: The Areas comparison compares the pressure applied on the major foot areas of two pairs of feet. The Areas comparison is almost identical to the 2D comparison.
Page 122: Chapter 11 Design Screen - D3D
Chapter Design Screen - D3D The D3D analysis proposes an orthotic support based on the current dynamic measurement. D3D stands for Dynamic three-Dimensional. It is the result of years of extensive pressure measurement research by rs scan. The D3D analysis needs at least two left and/or right feet to make a reliable proposal.

Page 125: Insole Base Layer
11.3 Insole base layer The insole base layer panel controls the base part of the D3D orthotic support. The D3D analysis makes a base type suggestion, it is possible to modify the proposed values. Base type controls the type of the base layer. Base size controls the size of the base layer.
Page 126: Insole Top Layer
11.4 Insole top layer The insole top layer panel controls the top cover of the D3D orthotic support. The D3D analysis makes a top type suggestion, it is possible to modify the proposed values. Top type controls the type of the top layer. Top size controls the size of the top layer.
Page 127: Insole Height
11.5 Insole height The insole height panel controls the the height of the D3D orthotic support. The D3D analysis proposes the heights for the left and the right foot, it is possible to modify these values. The insole height can adopt to the following values: : insole model for flat feet : insole model for high arched feet : insole model for normal feet...

Page 133: General Info
12.2 General Info The general info panel (Figure 71) requires general information about the shoe type. Size controls the shoe size. By default, the value will correspond to the value that was entered in the record wizard. Shoe sizes are in UK sizes. Usage controls the usage the insole will be used for (Daily use or Sports).
Page 134: Insole Composition
12.3 Insole Composition The insole composition panel (Figure 72) allows setting the properties of the top layer and the printed base layer. Top layer Thickness controls the thickness of the top layer. The default thickness is dependent on the previously chosen Usage in the general info panel.
Page 135: General Corrections
12.4 General Corrections In the general correction panel (Figure 73), the stiffness direction and the navicular support can be modified. Stiffness Direction controls the amount of pronation/supination correction. Positive values indicate anti-pronation stiffness. Negative values indicate anti-supination stiffness. Use the arrows to modify the orientation of the stiffness.
Page 136: Local Stiffness
12.5 Local Stiffness In the local stiffness panel (Figure 74), the local stiffness of the base layer of the insole can be adjusted. The base layer is divided in five predefined zones. The stiffness ranges from 1 (i.e. more flexible = light blue) to 5 (i.e. more stiff = dark blue). Hovering over a zone activates the local stiffness controller, which allows the user to set the local stiffness for each zone.
Page 137: Heel Corrections
12.6 Heel Corrections Heel pad controls the inclusion of a soft heel pad (PU soft) for fat pad syndrome, heel spur or plantar fasciitis. The heel pad option is only available in combination with a 6 mm EVA top layer and only for non-cycling insoles. Heel Offset controls the flat increase of the heel (ranging from 1 to 6 mm in steps of 1 mm).
Page 138: Meta Corrections
12.7 Meta Corrections The meta corrections panel (Figure 76) allows including an additional meta bar or meta pad. Meta Bar Left/Right enables the inclusion of a meta bar. This option is only available if an ortho base type insole has been chosen in the insole composition panel.
Page 139: Forefoot Corrections
12.8 Forefoot Corrections The forefoot corrections panel (Figure 77) allows including additional forefoot corrections. Shape controls the shape of the forefoot correction. For this feature, a differentiation is made between regular insoles (i.e. comfort, narrow, running and soccer) and cycling insoles.
Page 140: Personalization
