Objective: Evaluate predictions of stance time symmetry and stance force symmetry from wireless bilateral instrumented shoe insoles designed for rehabilitation using smartphone applications to provide real-time feedback.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Subjects: Five subjects with no known gait abnormalities.
Methods: Subjects performed ten trials of three conditions: walking without a limp, limping on the right foot, and limping on the left foot, with data captured simultaneously with two force plates and the instrumented shoe insoles. Linear regression analyses were used to develop prediction equations and significance.
Results: The regression between the instrumented shoe insole and the force plate resulted in R-squared values ran.. Read More»
