In this study, effect of a new foot pressure redistribution method is tested. A female subject was asked to stand on prepared clay prototypes and slowly load on foot. Then, shapes of pressed feet under different loadings were recorded by the footprints which were left on the deformed clay prototypes. Then scan and rebuild the model of the footprints. The shape of deformed total contact insole (DTCI)...
The need of continuous blood pressure measurement is usable in wide spectrum of applications from physicians practice to home care applications. Many types of blood pressure measurement devices can be bought in electronics shops. All such devices are contact measurement devices which need to be in contact of human body (hand or foot mainly). Secondary they allow only one measurement per several minutes...
In this paper we describe a wireless wearable system to monitor gait, based on a customized pair of commercial insoles able to collect ground reaction forces by use of 24 embedded cells for each foot. Each insole was combined with a small form factor, low-power Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and enabled to communicate via Bluetooth with a base station. We present here the characterization of the...
A novel platform system for gait analysis was developed, with its two main parts: force platform and pressure platform, it can offer complete components of pressures in walking, including vertical pressure, shear forces, pressure distribution and COP (centre of pressure) with reliable result. System configuration was introduced as an important part, and gait model was established. Some examples of...
