Validation of the wearable sensor system - MoveSole® smart insoles

Biomechanical analysis of gait is commonly used in physiotherapy. Ground reaction forces during phases one element kinetic analysis. In this article, we analyze if the MoveSole® smart insole valid and accurate equipment for measuring ground clinical StepLab a mobile measurement system instant underfoot force measurements gait. Unique electromagnetic film (EMFI) based sensor technology printed electronics production integrated system. The measures plantar distribution over sensors provides an estimation maximum total force. We developed two phase validation process to extract relevant parameters compared results Kistler plate using BioWare® analyzing program as reference method. Our show that insoles reach strong level accuracy needed work concerning highest step (Pearson correlation .822 - .875). time when occurred was moderate, e.g. heel strike or toe-off natural speed .351 .462, .430). conclusion are potential tool monitoring physiotherapy processes.
