Make sure that you have started the module by either clicking on GP FootDirect on the GP Manager start page or by selecting the correct measurement method in the GP FootMeasure module.

Position the Kinect so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight or light. In order to obtain accurate measurements, the area in front of the Kinect should be free of obstructions at a distance of 1.50 metres.

GP FussDirekt allows a patient's feet to be scanned directly.

  1. Hold the patient's leg so that it is as still as possible and there are no obstructing objects in the way. If you need to support the leg, place a support as close to the knee as possible.
  2. The space behind the foot should be as free as possible from other objects at a distance of 90-110 cm. Other objects could obstruct the measurements.
  3. As the foot is not loaded in this position, it is advisable to use a stable pane of glass. You can press this against the foot to simulate stepping on it. The glass pane does not interfere with the function of the Kinect.
  4. Hold the Kinect so that the plantar side of the foot is centred.
  5. Then click on "Scan page" and create a new measurement.
  6. The live image window of the 3D scanner opens. (see Figure 10)
  7. Make sure that the heel is pointing downwards in the picture.
  8. To achieve better results, you can move the Kinect slightly. The scan ends after 5 seconds.
  9. Once the scan is complete, set the line for the bale size and the foot axis. Then click on "Verticalise the foot axis
