We demonstrate through a pressure sensor matrix, that weight distribution on feet is influenced by body posture. A small cheap carpet equipped with low precision pressure sensor matrix is already sufficient to detect subtle activities and identity of the person on the carpet. By a 0.4 m2 matrix of 32 × 32, 12 bit pressure sensors, we achieve 78.7% accuracy for 11 test subjects performing 7 subtle...
Foot plantar pressure is the pressure fields that act between the foot skin and its supporting surface that humans experience during daily activities. Information derived from such pressure is important for diagnosing lower limb problems, footwear design, sport biomechanics performance and injury prevention. This paper presents the design and implementation of a wireless data acquisition integrated...
The aim of this study is to design a plantar pressure testing device based on a multi-functional training bed with the back-support weight reduction function, and the device can be used for the training and assessment of rehabilitation of lower limb. Plantar pressure test is implemented by installing two foot plantar pressure sensors on each pedal board. The sensors are connected through the conditioning...
Ulcer formation and proliferation in diabetic patients is a result of said patients' inability to sense the precursors of wound development in the extremities. This loss of a sensation is a result of peripheral neuropathy which is a complication of diabetes. This article presents the research, design, and testing protocol of a device intended to act as an early detection system for foot ulcer formation...
