FAQ
Here are the top questions we get asked.
-
Each insole is equipped with a 6 axis IMU sensor (3 axis accelerometer and 3 axis gyroscope) which samples at 416 Hz. This allows us to measure individual limb performance and differences across limbs (asymmetries).
-
No, our system measures movement, which is the result of force. This provides information on how the limbs move, even when the foot is not in contact with the ground.
-
Our Applied Science Team will take you through an hour long onboarding, after which point you’ll be ready to use the system on your own.
-
Our system measures a suite of gait and biomechanical parameters during walking, running, and both single and double leg jumping.
-
We provide automatically generated reports for every activity, which can be shared via email or printed. You can also add notes if you’d like to personalize the report.
-
The sensors can collect up to 10 hours of data before needing to be recharged.
-
Our sensor pods can be fit into custom orthotics, shoes, sock liners, or used with our default insoles.
-
Data is stored locally on the pods during data collection, so you don’t need to worry about finicky wifi or bluetooth. It’s then uploaded securely to the Plantiga cloud through the dock and can be accessed via the web app.
