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 ...

Reliability of plantar pressure platforms

Gait and Posture, 2013
Plantar pressure measurement is common practice in many research and clinical protocols. While the accuracy of some plantar pressure measuring devices and methods for ensuring consistency in data collection on plantar pressure measuring devices have been reported, the reliability of different devices when testing the same individuals is not known. This

Relationship Between Plantar Tissue Hardness and Plantar Pressure Distributions in People With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Objective: People with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are usually accompanied with increased plantar pressure. Such high plantar loading during daily activities may cause changes in the biomechanical properties of plantar soft tissue, whose ...

Identification of Foot Pathologies Based on Plantar Pressure Asymmetry

Sensors, 2015
Foot pathologies can negatively influence foot function, consequently impairing gait during daily activity, and severely impacting an individual’s quality of life. These pathologies are often painful and correspond with high or abnormal plantar pressure,

Registration of plantar pressure images [PDF]

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, 2011
SUMMARYIn this work, five computational methodologies to register plantar pressure images are compared: (1) the first methodology is based on matching the external contours of the feet; (2) the second uses the phase correlation technique; (3) the third addresses the direct maximization of cross‐correlation using the Fourier transform; (4) the fourth ...
