With the improvement of living standards, especially with today's insulin and inappropriate diet, many people has diabetes, which affected people's normal life. The diabetic foot will occur results in infection, amputation or even death by damaging peoples's blood flow and nerves[1]. The loss of feeling will results in a loss of feedback to control the foot perssure distribution[1-2]. It is proposed that high foot pressure concentration can be avoided by using some foot product[3]. So it is practical to develop a system to show the distribution of foot pressure, providing the basis for designing the foot product preventing high pressure.Reference to the software platform FOOTSCAN of foreign product RSscan[4], this system includes pressure display, patients'basic and pressure information storing. Especially, We uesd the DTW algorithm widely used in speech recogniztion to classfiy some adnormal measurements. This method shows great conviences to replace the tedious manul operation and also provides a more specific standard to exclude some inappropriate measurements.This system for foot ulcers plantar pressure measurements has friendly user interface and important practical value. It lays a foundation for the future work of the research in this field.
