There are many situations where it is useful to measure the profile of the foot’s contact with the ground. Foot pronation, impact profiles and weight fluctuations are all useful indicators in health and fitness. An interesting experiment, using a volunteer, was to see the changes in the foot positioning when sober and again when inebriated. A higher minded example is in the analysis of “falls” in senior citizens. We designed this demonstrator using our existing sensor systems and combined it with our visualisation software.
