Abstract:

This study involves the development of a novel sensing system for the planta while walking on any surface and in any condition. In the study, the main aim is the visualization of the planta. A plantar image is reflected at the reflecting surface and captured by a camera embedded in a clog. The obtained visual information differs from the pressure and IMU data obtained from conventional sensors as it provides detailed information on the plantar surface. This is used to investigate the relationship between the activity in the toe area and stumbling experiences. The results indicate that high toe activity is associated with the group with no stumbling experiences and low toe activity is associated with the group with stumbling experiences.
