Demo Abstract: Measuring Foot Pronation Using RFID Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Running efficiency is an important factor to consider in order to avoid injury. In particular, foot pronation, the angle of the foot as it hits the ground, is a common cause for many types of injuries amoung runners. Though pronation is common, diagnosing pronation is difficult and imprecise. Currently there is no method of diagonsis which can quantify the severity of pronation. In this paper we propose using WISP (Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform) sensors to help identify and quantify foot pronation.

Measuring kinematic changes of the foot using a gyro sensor during intense running.
Gyro sensor has been used to measure foot pronation during running with reliable results in previous studies, and the signals were not affected by the vibration of heel strikes. The purpose of this study was to observe the kinematic changes of the foot during intense running using a 3-axis gyro sensor. Fifteen male participants (average age: 24.5 ± 1.7 years; mean height: 174.1 ± 3.3 cm; mean b...

In modern society, a large portion of the population suffers from sleep disorder. Some sleep disorders are serious enough to interfere with functioning of daily lives. Therefore knowing how well one sleeps is an important health indicator that can lead to more aggressive actions. In this demo, we present SNORES: Sensor Networks Oriented REsearch in Sleep. SNORES is an in-home sleep monitoring s...
متن کاملDemonstration: RFID Sensor Networks with the Intel WISP
We demonstrate a simple RFID sensor network comprised of an Intel WISP and a commodity UHF RFID reader. WISPs are devices that gather their operating energy from RFID reader transmissions, in the manner of standard RFID tags, and further include sensors, e.g., accelerometers, and provide a very small-scale computing platform. We believe that this makes them an attractive alternative to motes fo...
