Abstract

Foot conditions are useful measures in footwear evaluation, athletic training, clinical gait analysis and pathology foot diagnosis. However, many of the present systems for foot monitoring are clumsy thus cannot be used for uncontrolled dynamic activities such as longterm outdoor use. This paper presents the development of an intelligent footwear system, which is able to measure and record, during daily activities, spatial and temporal plantar pressure distributions, in-shoe temperature and humidity, center of pressure (COP), and 3-axis accelerations. It demonstrated satisfactory accuracy, repeatability and wearing comfort, and has been used for 24-hour continuous monitoring of foot conditions of human subjects in uncontrolled daily activities.
