Customised testing methods and devices for orthopaedic footwear technology
Precision and quality are essential in orthopaedic footwear technology - both for the fit and for long-term comfort. But how can you ensure that orthopaedic shoes are optimally tailored to the individual needs of the wearer? Finding and offering solutions to such questions is what drives the Testing and Research Institute Pirmasens e.V. (PFI).
As an independent competence centre for the footwear industry, we develop customised test methods and equipment to optimise quality, functionality and comfort. In addition to established methods, we also offer customised solutions - from digital foot measuring devices to specially developed test rigs for new materials or design principles.
Innovation for orthopaedic footwear technology
We know that standard solutions are often not enough when it comes to orthopaedic adjustments. That's why we not only offer established test methods, but also develop completely new procedures on request to analyse material properties, load-bearing capacity and fit even more precisely. Our expertise ranges from mechanical load tests to testing damping properties and evaluating wearer comfort.
Everything from a single source
Our advantage: We combine research, development and implementation. Manufacturers, orthopaedic footwear technicians and retailers benefit from our expertise by receiving tailor-made solutions - be it through an innovative measuring device, an optimised testing strategy or a combination of both.
