Clubfoot Pattern Recognition towards Personalized Insole Design

personalized insole design is a novel approach for better quality of daily life. In this study we developed a low-cost foot pressure measurement system elaborated for primary care and community hospitals, subsequently the feature extraction and pattern recognition were carried out in order to assist the clubfoot diagnosis. The original data were obtained from 20 adults with normal feet and 30 patients with diagnosed clubfeet. Features such as peak pressure and regional contact area were deduced from 10 anatomically significant areas. It was indicated that, comparing with normal feet, flat feet exhibited larger contact area in midfoot (p
