Diseño y desarrollo de un prototipo de medición de presión plantar portátil

Abstract

The measurement of plantar pressure is relevant because it allows detecting abnormalities in dynamic and static bio-mechanical gestures such as running, jumping, landing after a jump, walking and standing with the support of the entire plant, which provides information to make movement more effective or to detect any pathology. the device developed in this project is composed of a velostat material with which we build the sensors in charge of providing the signal that corresponds to the pressure in each area of the foot. Also, with this development of this device, it is intended to offer a low-cost solution in plantar measurement devices including a free software tool for the visualization of the sensors located under the foot.
