Abstract

The invention relates to a plantar pressure measuring device and method. The device comprises a circuit layer and an insole, wherein the circuit layer is arranged in the insole; the circuit layer comprises a flexible printed circuit board and a plurality of pressure sensors connected with the flexible printed circuit board; the pressure sensors include a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor, and a fourth sensor. The insole comprises a toe portion, a sole portion, and a heel portion. The first sensor is arranged in the heel portion, the second sensor is arranged on one side of the sole portion, the third sensor is arranged on the other side of the sole portion, and the fourth sensor is arranged in the toe portion. Pressure data when a person walks is calculated and obtained through the four sensors arranged in the toe portion, the sole portion, and the heel portion respectively, and then the gait phase of the person is calculated according to the pressure data. The device has the advantages that the whole device is light, wearing is convenient, and the flexible design better meets dressing requirements of the person, so that the person feels more comfortable when wearing the device; the number of the sensors is small, so that the cost of production is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plantar pressure measurement, in particular to a plantar pressure measuring device and method. Background technique [0002] Medically, the pressure on the soles of the feet when people walk plays an important role in the diagnosis or rehabilitation of related diseases. For the exoskeleton, the current motion state of the exoskeleton can be identified according to the magnitude of the plantar pressure and its changes, and important reference information can be provided for its control. [0003] Plantar pressure information is generally acquired using a pressure test board or a plantar pressure test insole. Among these pressure acquisition system equipment, the F-Scan insole system of Takscan Company in the United States, the Footscan plate system of RSscan Company in Belgium, the Kistler force plate of Switzerland, the Emed plate system and the Pedar insole system of Novel Company in Germany are widely u...
