Area of Science:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Sports Science

Background:

  • Developing lightweight, user-friendly plantar pressure measurement systems is crucial for physiotherapy research.
  • Smart textile sock sensor systems offer potential for self-correction during functional tasks.
  • A formative usability study was conducted to evaluate a smart textile sock system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the usability of a smart textile sock sensor system for self-correction during functional tasks.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of the smart sock system.
  • To identify areas for technical improvement in the smart textile sock pressure sensor system.

Main Methods:

  • Five athletes from a football school participated in the study.
  • Participants performed pre-defined functional tasks using the smart textile sock system for self-correction.
  • Usability was evaluated using task success rates, error rates, time-based efficiency, and the System Usability Scale (SUS).

Main Results:

  • Task completeness effectiveness varied from 40% to 100% across task stages.
  • Task completion times ranged from 4.2s to 88.8s in Stage 1 and 7.2s to 9.6s in Stage 2.
  • The System Usability Scale (SUS) score was 76 (SD 7.42), indicating "good" user satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Formative usability indicators highlight the need for technical enhancements to the smart textile sock pressure sensor system.
  • The smart textile sock system demonstrates "good" user satisfaction and potential for application in physiotherapy.
  • Further development is needed to optimize the system's effectiveness and efficiency.
