The optical pedobarograph has proven to be very helpful in studying foot pressure abnormalities in a variety of clinical conditions and especially in diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis. Studies using this device have provided a very good insight into the etiopathogenesis and natural history of foot disorders. It has also allowed the conduction of intervention trials which assess the efficacy of new treatment. The main advantages of the pedobarograph include accuracy, reliability and high spatial resolution. Its drawbacks are its size and that it can only measure pressures between the foot-floor interface.
光学足压计已被证明在研究各种临床病症中的足部压力异常方面非常有用，尤其是在糖尿病和类风湿性关节炎中。使用该设备的研究为足部疾病的病因发病机制和自然史提供了很好的见解。它还使得能够进行评估新治疗效果的干预试验。足压计的主要优点包括准确性、可靠性和高空间分辨率。其缺点是尺寸较大，并且只能测量足底界面之间的压力。
