Abstract :
A method for the linearization and calibration of force sensing resistors has recently been developed. This method allows for the valid measurement of forces occurring at the heel and toe of the foot during overground and treadmill locomotion. As well this method has application in determining small changes in force that may occur after routinely applied gait perturbations
