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...
Snowboarding is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. However, it is rather difficult to learn. Snowboarders, who have reached an average level of expertise, often find it difficult to improve their style without taking expensive private lessons. Moreover, some of their performed actions would not even be visible for the instructors, as they happen inside the shoes. We are therefore developing...
Conventional gait rehabilitation treatment does not provide quantitative and graphical information on abnormal gait kinematics, and the match of the intervention strategy to the underlying clinical presentation may be limited by clinical expertise and experience. In this paper, a mobile gait monitoring system (MGMS) is proposed, which helps patients self correct their gait without restriction of time...
We propose an input interface using Foot-Step which is gestures of foot for information appliances while jogging. When we use information appliances while jogging, an input by Foot-Step is briefer way than conventional physical interfaces because of the hands-free capability.We developed a prototype of a Foot-Step system which enables a user to operate a menu selection system which is widely used...
Systems that assist patients require a means for detecting and quantifying abnormalities in human motions. In the previous work, we introduced a fuzzy logic algorithm that detects phases in a human gait using Smart Shoes. In this paper, a new method for estimating abnormalities in the gait phases is proposed. The proposed method detects two major abnormalities: 1) when the sensors measure improper...
