Foot correction service system

The present invention relates to a correction service system, and more particularly to a foot correction service system.

The human foot contains 26 bones and is surrounded by complex and dense ligaments and fascia. The entire foot is like an arch or arch. It has good elasticity and can withstand the pressure from the body for us. Walk, run and jump. However, due to the influence of congenital or acquired, some of the foot arches are incomplete. For example, the arch of the "flat foot" collapses, or the arch of the "high arch" is too high, which will not only make the pressure distribution of the foot abnormal, but also Affecting the walking gait, the center of gravity of the body will also shift to an incorrect position, so the pressure on the feet, knees, pelvis, and spine will be unbalanced. Over time, sports injuries and joint lesions will occur.

To this end, a foot appliance for correcting the foot of the foot has appeared on the market, which can improve the mechanical mechanism of the foot, guide the movement of the flat foot and the high arch foot, and gradually correct the foot type for a long time. Make the arch tend to a normal physiological angle.

However, since each person's foot structure and walking habits are different, the foot orthosis needs to be based on the user's height, weight, age, and extension. Personalized information such as foot prints, tailor-made, which is the ink footprint of the user's feet and feet. The distribution of the pressure of the foot can be known through the shade of the ink. For details, please refer to the application number. The 098,137,100 new patent disclosed in the "foot arch aligner shoe set and the fine adjustment method of the internal foot pressure balance of the shoe when wearing the arch aligner shoe set".

In order to achieve the corrective effect, the user needs to be regular (for example 30 days) Back to the manufacturer's service base for foot pressure detection, and according to the results of each test, the foot orthosis is fine-tuned. However, each foot pressure test can be completed through complicated steps such as rubbing the foot map, which is quite time consuming and troublesome. Moreover, in the process of correction, the user cannot always know the current correction condition, which is quite inconvenient to use, and may even cause the user to quit halfway due to lack of participation.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a foot correction service system that senses the distribution of the plantar pressure of the user.

Therefore, the novel foot correction service system comprises: a correction seat, a pressure sensing unit, and a processing unit.

The correcting seat can be stepped on by a user's foot. The pressure sensing unit is disposed on an outer surface of the correcting seat, and generates a pressure sensing signal when the user steps on the correcting seat. The processing unit is disposed in the correcting seat, and includes a data processing module that is connected to the pressure sensing unit and can calculate and process the pressure sensing signal measured by the pressure sensing unit to generate a pressure value. And a wireless communication module that connects the data processing module and transmits the pressure value in a wireless communication manner.

The effect of the novel is that the user can step on the correction The pressure sensing unit can sense the pressure of the sole and generate the pressure sensing signal, and the data processing module of the processing unit can convert the pressure sensing signal into a pressure value, and finally The wireless communication module can transmit the pressure value for subsequent use.

The correction history is then input via the input module 61 of the remote service unit 6. The file storage module 62 can store the foot correction history as a foot correction history file.

Then, the manufacturer's service personnel carry the portable pressure measuring unit 7 and ask the user to step on the portable pressure measuring unit 7 to measure the pressure information of the user's foot. Then, the portable pressure measuring unit 7 can transmit the foot pressure information to the monitoring unit 5 (such as a mobile phone or a laptop) carried by the user or the manufacturer's service personnel by means of wired communication or wireless communication.

Referring to Figures 3 to 5, it is worth mentioning that when the user step on the correction After a certain period of time, the user's foot will be gradually corrected. Therefore, the user needs to periodically go back to the manufacturer's service location to fine-tune the correcting seat 2 so that the user's foot can gradually return to a healthy state. The identification information stored by the radio frequency identification module 44 of the processing unit 4 is, for example, the user's name, gender, height, weight or age, but not limited thereto. Of course, the radio frequency identification module 44 The stored data can be read and written repeatedly, so the identification information can be changed as the height, weight or age changes. Therefore, before the fine adjustment is performed, the user can receive the radio frequency identification module 44 by transmitting the correcting seat 2 to the remote service unit 6 located at the service location, and the second communication module 63 of the remote service unit 6 can receive the radio frequency identification module 44.
