| Description | Medical technology companies have focused on gait analysis and monitoring for several years due to their importance in the diagnosis of various movement abnormalities. Studying pressure distribution on the foot is very important for the detection of abnormalities, unwanted symptoms, and consequences. This paper aims to design a wearable, low-cost, and real-time gait cycle monitoring system, based on a Flexiforce sensor. In the proposed design, eight force sensors were attached to the insole to estimate the pressure distribution on the foot. Pressure distribution monitoring helps in the estimation of foot disorders and assists in the design of medical shoes for manipulating pressure into the right positions. Sensors were connected to an appropriate microcontroller for real-time monitoring. MATLAB was used to visualize and simulate the real-time plantar pressure variation through static and dynamic states. The obtained experimental results show that the system was stable in both static and dynamic measurements, which could be used to estimate the pressure distribution on the foot. |
