Prototipo para analizar la presión plantar en la marcha atlética

Abstract

This project is focused on the implementation of an electronic podobarometry system, aimed at the plantar analysis of athletes in the athletic gait modality, allowing an evaluation of their technical gesture, to later inform the athlete if they are in breach of the regulations, as well It allows the athlete and their coach to evaluate how the sporting gesture is being executed, this will allow a decrease in injuries and possible disqualifications. This system consists of a sensory instrumentation template, a microcontroller connected to the template that is responsible for receiving the signals and transmitting them through a COM port and a graphic interface to view the plantar support points on the computer in real time. Finally, the information processing is carried out, to evaluate the gesture, various tests were carried out regarding material and sensors, in order to identify the most suitable for the project, the system allows to satisfactorily determine technical problems
