While hallux valgus (HV) surgeries are useful for correcting skeletal alignment problems,
their effects on plantar load, which reflects forefoot functions, are less understood. The …

AIM: Footwear interventions are used within clinical practice in an effort to reduce
ulcerations however the effectiveness of these interventions is unclear. The aim of this paper …

Wearable robotic devices require sensors and algorithms that can recognize the user state
in real-time, in order to provide synergistic action with the body. For devices intended for …

Aims Elevated dynamic plantar pressures are a consistent finding in diabetes patients with
peripheral neuropathy with implications for plantar foot ulceration. This meta-analysis aimed …

Abstract Knowledge of the center of pressure (COP) trajectory during stance can elucidate
possible foot pathology, provide comparative effectiveness of foot orthotics, and allow for …

Abstract Background The OpenGo seems promising to take gait analysis out of laboratory
settings due to its capability of long-term measurements and mobility. However, the …

The therapeutic benefit of high heel shoes (HHS) for plantar fasciitis treatment is
controversial. It has been suggested that plantar fascia strain can be decreased by heel …

In this paper we present the development of a mat-like pressure mapping system based on a
single layer textile sensor and intended to be used in home environments for monitoring the …

This paper presents a novel low-cost and fully-portable instrumented shoe system for gait
phase detection. The instrumented shoe consists of 174 independent sensing units …

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the effects of experimental leg
length discrepancies on body posture and dental occlusion. Thirty asymptomatic subjects …
