Wireless Plantar Pressure Distribution Monitoring System

Abstract

The person's foot sole posture during the running period can be incorrect as no training beforehand. They need to be trained and monitored by the professional instructor throughout the movement. This training to achieve the sprinter with correct posture and technique during a running session. Wireless plantar pressure distribution monitoring system uses the latest processor to comply with the fourth industrial revolution (IR 4.0). The system has recorded the pressure distribution of the sole during the activity for monitoring purposes. The Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) is used to detect the pressure applied during the training. The FSR will is placed on the insole at the heel area. The user can operate the device wirelessly indoors and outdoor. The research is covered three methods, which are running together with jogging and walking. Two techniques are applied in the routine to optimize the running acceleration, which are plantar flexion and a longer stride. The research finding shows the time taken to finish the track after applied both techniques are reduced. The force on the heel is reduced as it accelerates because the methods apply only focusing using the forefoot. This model can be used to monitor the pressure distribution of plantar during running. In the future, the system is accessible online and offline with numerous sensors allocate on the subject sole.
