Abstract
This paper presents an electronically enabled system that uses piezoresistive sensor arrays to acquire information from plantar pressure distribution. The system has been designed as a low-cost alternative to diagnostic equipment for orthotic insoles, biomechanical studies, and sports medicine. The system allows autonomous biomechanical analyses that include dynamic and static tests, with similar or even better features than those of commercial devices.
