Balance checking is the method used to measure plantar pressure distribution in two ways, static and dynamic. In static mode, the patient is asked to stand still on the platform with optical sensors for ten seconds. The results show that the centroids of the feet of those who are capable of keeping good balance hardly disperse compare to those who are not. In dynamic mode, the patient keeps on stepping...
The aim of this investigation is to design and construct a demonstrative prototype of a low cost foot planter-pressure scanner that can assess health care providers in diagnosing and monitoring patients who are suffering from foot disorders. The prototype will be designed from a matrix of force sensitive sensors that measure the spread of forces on the plantar surface of the foot. Suitable Graphical...
The quantitative assessment of the postural stability is allowed by means of the use of pressure or force plates which are able to record a CoP subject's trajectory during a quite standing. However, the pressure or force plates are commonly used in a clinical environment, due to their very complexity and expensiveness. So their applicability outside laboratories is extremely limited. New e-textile...
Current clinical foot posture assessment techniques rely on anthropometric measures of landmarks on the foot which can derive information regarding foot posture and foot problems. It has been identified that there is a source of error in these anthropometric measurements as a result of subjects having to maintain their weight bearing while balancing their examined foot on scales for the entire duration...
