Integration of Sensors to Measure Foot Pressure Distribution during Walking
Description
Foot load considered as pressure distribution which is measured with reference to a foot and ankle functions in the walking. Foot pressure distribution measurement is clinically beneficial for gait analysis and rehabilitation. Each person has a different pattern in walking process. The aim of this project is to measure foot pressure in the anatomical regions.
Tasks
Required number of pressure sensors should be used in Metatarsal joint and heels regions for each foot. Data needs to transfer to the computer wirelessly. Collected data of the sensors should transfer into the Unity. At the end, the completed system should be able to use for different foot sizes and data of each sensors should be shown using suitable visualization.
