Abstract :
Spatial plantar pressure measurement system were investigated to extract features of gait in clinical podiatry. In this paper, the design of a novel 3D platform system suitable for the measurement of human foot pressure distribution is proposed. This consists of a 3D force measuring platform equipped with sensor array, and user-friendly software to graph and analyze the data. Also, a proposed Butterworth low-pass filter for the signals preconditioning is employed effectively. The article describes the original concept and the performance of the system. Meanwhile, the extracted gait parameters are indicated in the end.
