An insole point pressure monitoring system

Number of people who is suffering with plantar is increasing nowadays. Several causes such as diabetes mellitus, plantar fasciitis, changes in biomechanics, etc. may be diagnosed. Simple treatment, by an expert clinician, is such as inserting a custom-made insole into the patient's shoes for manipulating pressure to the right position. This work aims to develop plantar point pressure measurement, which is able to quantitatively estimate the total plantar point pressure in real-time. Based on piezoresistive sensor, pressure at the point of interest between before and after make custom insole could be determined. According to the preliminary test, the system is able to measure total plantar point pressure and give instant feedback to a user in real-time.
