Abstract:
The objective of the research presented in this paper was to provide a novel open-source strain gauge system that shall enable the measurement of the pressure of a runner's feet on the ground and the presentation of the results of that measurement to the user. The system based on electronic shoe inserts with 16 built-in pressure sensors laminated in a transparent film was created, consisting of two parts: a mobile application and a wearable device. The developed system provides a number of advantages in comparison with existing solutions, including no need for calibration, an accurate and frequent measurement of pressure distribution, placement of electronics on the outside of a shoe, low cost, and an open-source approach to encourage enhancements and open collaboration.
