We have designed, manufactured, and tested a prototype of an in-sole plantar pressure sensor. The sensor is made of a piezoelectric polymer film (polyvinylidenefluoride, PVDF) with evaporated copper electrodes. The size and the location of measuring sites are carefully considered to produce a light-weighted, practical, and inexpensive matrix sensor for measurement of plantar pressure distribution...
It has been well documented that subjects with peripheral neuropathy resulting from diabetes mellitus are at high risk of developing foot ulceration. Decreased sensation, in combination with high underfoot pressures, have been identified as prime etiology factors in the cause of plantar naturopathic ulceration. This study presents the effect of four orthotic treatment techniques in reducing metatarsal...
This paper aims at development of low cost dynamic foot pressure scanner. To estimate the peak pressure points on the foot sole, a study was conducted on a healthy male group. In all, 8 subjects were placed for observation on EMED (from Novel Inc.) foot mat system at different clinics. The data, thus recorded, was analyzed using Novel-Win-Mask software and it is concluded that, on a single pressure...
