How does a pedobarogram help choose footwear?

A pedobarogram maps exactly where the sole is overloaded, so insoles and footwear can be designed to offload those precise high-pressure spots. At EDFC footwear is prescribed from this data rather than by guesswork.

Is the footwear pedobarogram different from the diagnostic one?

It is the same test, used here with a footwear focus. The pressure map that helps diagnose ulcer risk is the same map used to design offloading footwear and insoles, so the two uses go hand in hand.

Is a pedobarogram painful?

No. You simply stand and walk on a pressure-sensitive platform. The test is painless, uses no radiation, and can be repeated to check that new footwear is relieving pressure.

How long does it take?

A pedobarogram usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. You receive your colour pressure map and a footwear plan in the same visit.

Will my footwear be checked after fitting?

Yes. A repeat pressure test confirms whether your insoles and footwear are genuinely relieving the high-pressure areas, and adjustments are made if any hotspot remains.

How much does a pedobarogram cost in India?

A pedobarogram is a non-invasive test often included within a footwear or biomechanical assessment. EDFC explains all charges before starting. Contact the clinic for an estimate for your case.

Pedobarogram

A pressure map of your sole that guides the exact footwear and insoles you need, in India.

A pedobarogram for diabetic footwear in India is a computerised foot-pressure test that shows exactly where your sole is overloaded, so that footwear and insoles can be designed to offload those high-pressure spots and prevent ulcers. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) footwear here is prescribed from real pressure data, guided by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., 22+ years) in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.

Why a Pedobarogram Guides Footwear

Diabetic ulcers form where pressure is highest, and nerve damage hides that pressure from you. A pedobarogram makes it visible, turning footwear from guesswork into a precise, data-led prescription. For the full diagnostic detail of the test, see our pedobarogram assessment page.

How the Pressure Map Shapes Your Footwear

You stand and walk across a pressure-sensitive platform.
The software builds a colour map, with red showing the highest pressure.
High-pressure zones are matched against any callus or ulcer sites.
Insoles and footwear are then designed to relieve exactly those areas.
The result is checked so the pressure has genuinely dropped.

Who Should Have a Footwear Pedobarogram

People being fitted for diabetic footwear or custom insoles.
Those with recurring calluses or a healed foot ulcer.
Patients with foot deformity or high-pressure areas.
Anyone whose ulcers keep returning despite footwear changes.

Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah

EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics dedicated to diabetic foot care, so footwear here is prescribed from measurement, not guesswork. The pedobarogram feeds directly into your footwear assessment and offloading plan.

What to Expect

The test is quick and painless, and you leave with footwear and insoles designed around your own pressure map. A repeat map later confirms the offloading is working.
