🧍 Postural Analysis

Baropodometric Plate

The baropodometric plate maps plantar pressures and body barycenter, providing objective data on your posture and balance.

An essential exam to understand how you distribute your weight, identify asymmetries and plan targeted postural interventions.

Baropodometry vs Stabilometry

👣 Baropodometry (Pressures)

Analyzes "how much" you weigh on each point of the foot. Detects pressure peaks that cause calluses and pain (metatarsalgias, heel spurs).

⚖️ Stabilometry (Balance)

Analyzes "how" you maintain balance. Measures micro-oscillations of your body (Romberg) to understand how much energy you spend standing still.

What the Plate Detects

Weight Distribution

Anterior/posterior percentage, right/left. Identifies overloads.

Support Surfaces

Foot shape: flat, arched, normal. Maximum load areas.

Barycenter

Position of body center of mass and its oscillations.

Asymmetries

Differences between right and left side, postural compensations.

The Romberg Test

Eyes Open vs Eyes Closed

During the stabilometric exam, we'll ask you to stand still first with eyes open and then with eyes closed. Why?

  • 1

    Romberg Index

    Measures how much you depend on sight to maintain balance. If closing your eyes makes you sway much more, your proprioceptive system (feet/muscles) might be weak.

What You'll See in the Report

📍

Center of Pressure (CoP)

The exact point where your barycenter falls.

🌈

Isobars (Colors)

Red = High pressure (danger). Blue = Low pressure.

〰️

Romberg Trajectory

The path of your micro-oscillations. Smaller = More stable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the exam performed?

You position yourself barefoot on the plate for a few seconds in static position, then walk for dynamic analysis. The entire exam takes about 5-10 minutes.

Do I need preparation?

No special preparation required. Wear comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement.

What is the report for?

The report guides treatment: postural exercises, Taopatch®, or other therapies. It's also useful for monitoring progress over time.
