PLANTAR PRESSURE
Plantar foot pressure is exerted between the foot and the contact
surface during of daily locomotion activities. Classic applications of this field are
footwear design, performance analysis and injury prevention, improvement in
balance control and diagnosis of diseases. Recently, innovative application of
plantar pressure analysis is in the field of human recognition, biometrics,
posture monitoring and support systems restoring. Forces that act on the foot
are normally controlled by the plantar region. If the movement of the foot is
constrained and the foot cannot function at normal parameters, then these
forces are absorbed by other regions, which may lead to modifications of the
foot anatomy and increased occurrence of medical problems.

PLANTAR PRESSURES MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
Plantar pressure measurement systems available on the marker or in
research laboratories divide in two main categories, platforms for measuring the
plantar pressure distribution when subjects walk on them and measurement
systems that are inserted inside the shoe. When designing and manufacturing
plantar pressure systems, the most relevant parameters to take in to
consideration are spatial resolution, measurement frequency, results accuracy,
sensors sensitivity and calibration [3]. During locomotion, legs are the main
surface of interaction with the environment. For this reason, it is very important to
early diagnose possible health problems of the legs in order to prevent accidents
and injuries, for better risk managements and for general wellbeing. One of the
main approaches in the assessment of feet health, widely used in many
applications, is the analysis of plantar pressure characteristics. It is therefore very
important to develop reliable and precise measurement systems [2]
