3-D Printed Smart Orthotic Insoles: Monitoring a Person's Gait Step by Step
Zhongyang Hao, Kevin J. Cook, John Canning, Hsiang‐Ting Chen, Cícero Martelli · IEEE Sensors Letters · 2019
This article reports a 3-D printing intelligent insole gait monitoring system based on an embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The smart insole combines 3-D printing technology and FBG sensors providing high sensitivity and end-point low cost. Results using pressure points measured by four FBGs are sufficient to differentiate foot loads and gait types.
