Foot Biomechanics with Emphasis on the Plantar Pressure Sensing: A Review

The term Biomechanics can be interpreted as, studying how the human body, especially foot, moves within earth’s gravitational settings. locomotive displacement of lower limbs resulting in forward movement body is termed as gait. Human gait significantly affected by kinetic and kinematic factors various individual segments rest body. Therefore, healthcare sector gives substantial importance to changes pattern that could result from irregularities are not directly caused musculoskeletal degradation. study plantar pressure distribution an important research area approach motor issues related diabetes, podiatry, rehabilitative sciences. Foot sensor technologies comparatively easier use implement than sensing measurement patterns. sensors have also been proved effective diagnosis treatment. Several peer-reviewed publications investigation foot biomechanics analysis over last decade enhanced development areas both medicine engineering. However, there still a lack standardized method distribution. This review attempts summarize clinical estimation analyse strengths inadequacies recent concerning assessment, terms proficiency design end-user suitability. We propose promotion simple, lightweight, user-friendly modules orthoses without overlooking aspects mechanical ensure efficient control.
