The A/D converter 24 is connected to the operational amplifier 23, and A/D-converts the pressure signal amplified by the operational amplifier 23, and converts it into a digital signal. The signal processing and algorithm module 25 is connected to the A/D converter 24, and the digital signal outputted by the A/D converter 24 is processed by an algorithm to obtain the patient's two-leg pressure distribution data information. The data transmission module 26 is coupled to the signal processing and algorithm module 25 and is capable of transmitting the patient's foot pressure distribution data information to the computer 3.
