Foot is the basic supporting system of the body. It will bear the weight of body structure and helps us in static and dynamic stability. In our day to day activity, the people from various professions like surgeons, lecturers or common people have a tendency to shift their whole body weight to one foot unknowingly which can cause excess wear and tear in leg. So, if we can design a footwear which can...
Wearable sports trainers are built upon sensor systems recognizing the activities performed by its users. In snowboarding, one of the fastest growing sports in the world, traditional activity recognition approaches make use of pressure insoles with force-sensitive resistors, which, however, are particularly uncomfortable to wear. To make these measurements more convenient, we have developed textile...
Measurement of interface pressure between the foot and shoe underpins a number of important applications in gait analysis. Abnormal pressure may indicate instability in gait, risks of ulceration development especially in diabetic foot as well as many other biomedical diagnostic applications. Since the currently available foot pressure sensors exhibit many limitations while the opportunity offered...
A test was conducted of a Hercules Orthoflex capacitive sensor used to measure pressure distribution under the foot for gait analysis and sensory substitution. Maximal nonlinearity for the sensor is 16%, and maximal hysteresis is 10% over the pressure range 0 to 1.3 MPa. Seven transducers in each shoe determine the distribution of pressure.<<ETX>>
