A new shapeable in-shoe device accurately measures foot pressure distribution. This technology aids in designing custom shoe insoles by identifying and relieving high-pressure areas for improved clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Medical Device Engineering

Background:

  • Clinical foot pressure measurement is crucial for understanding foot function and designing custom orthotics.
  • Existing methods like pressure platforms and in-shoe transducers have limitations in accuracy and user comfort.
  • Effective in-shoe pressure measurement can significantly benefit shoe insole design and patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, shapeable in-shoe device for accurate foot pressure distribution measurement.
  • To assess the device's capability in contouring to the foot and identifying pressure points.
  • To explore the application of the device's data in creating custom vacuum-formed shoe insoles.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a shapeable foot pressure measuring device adaptable to individual foot contours.
