This paper introduces the design and development of a novel pressure-sensitive foot insole
for real-time monitoring of plantar pressure distribution during walking. The device consists …

In this work, we present the development of an in-shoe device to monitor plantar pressure
distribution for gait analysis. The device consists in a matrix of 64 sensitive elements …

Real time plantar pressure provides information critical to the understanding of gait
mechanics and has a wide range of applications. In this study, smart insoles were designed …

The evolution of low power electronics and the availability of new smart materials are
opening new frontiers to develop wearable systems for medical applications, lifestyle …

Wearable robotic devices require sensors and algorithms that can recognize the user state
in real-time, in order to provide synergistic action with the body. For devices intended for …

In this work, we report the development of a novel device, integrated into a shoe, to monitor
plantar pressure under real-life conditions by reducing the spatial and temporal resolution …

Gait is an important part of our life, as it affects many daily activities. Special footwear is
fundamental to obtain an ergonomic gait and to extract data for analysis. The plantar foot …

Plantar pressure measurement plays an important role in monitoring health and sports
performance. Here, instead of embedding force sensitive resistors in the insole, we …

In an era of unprecedented progress in sensing technology and communication, health
services are now able to closely monitor patients and elderly citizens without jeopardizing …

Instrumented insoles allow analysis of gait outside of the confines of a motion analysis lab
and capture motion data on every step. This study assesses the concurrent validity of center …
