Foot Plantar Pressure Measurement System: A Review [PDF]

Sensors, 2012
Foot plantar pressure is the pressure field that acts between the foot and the support surface during everyday locomotor activities. Information derived from such pressure measures is important in gait and posture research for diagnosing lower limb ...
