Application of Insole Pressure Sensor to Assess Lower Extremity Compliance

Published: 14 December 2018 Publication History

Abstract

The most serious fracture in the hip is a hip fracture. There is a large chance of death within one year, often accompanied by serious complications, which indirectly lead to death. Therefore, the importance of postoperative rehabilitation can be seen.
Rehabilitation therapy for patients with lower extremity fractures is often used partial weight bearing (PWB) clinically, but the traditional method of identification the appropriate weight-bearing lower limb weight is less objective and accurate, and it is impossible to know whether the patient accurately performs the rehabilitation of partial weight bearing.
Therefore, this paper proposes a wearable instant insole pressure sensing system, which can provide complete foot pressure information instantly, and know the lower limb weight, for the therapist to refer to the configuration of the patient's lower limb burden weight and the patient's regular self-testing.
