“…Such design sets the proposed device apart from most research-oriented devices published in the literature, which commonly require a bulky packaging that remains external to the shoe, as in [8], [26]- [28], [34], and [35]. The subjects involved in our preliminary tests in fact reported that the device, although at prototypal level, was unnoticeable while wearing the insole, which grants a more natural behaviour during the experimental recordings.…”

We present a new electronic insole for wireless monitoring of motor activities and shoe comfort. The proposed device, equipped with both ZigBee transmission and local data storage allows unobtrusive, long term monitoring of subjects outside the laboratory, during natural behavior activites, such as daily living and sports. The system detailed in this work includes humidity and temperature sensors, as well as a three axis accelerometer and four pressure sensors, all fitted within a 3.7 mm thick insole. Preliminary experiments have shown that the device is reliable and may be worn without causing discomfort even for long periods of time, suggesting that it could be useful in applications ranging from ergonomics studies on footwear to sports and rehabilitation.

“…To compensate for this effect, the authors added a controlling unit to regulate the time delay, reducing the hysteresis to less than 1%. [ 98 ] After manufacturing process improvement, H. Choi et al. stated that the room‐temperature‐vulcanizing silicone rubber KE‐12 (from Shin‐Etsu Chemical) can achieve a high sensing performance of 2.5 MPa dynamic range and 3.8% linearity.…”

Among diverse wearable techniques, insole‐based plantar pressure monitoring systems have surged as a leading technology to monitor patient's chronic disease progression. Such technological feat has been made possible due to the strong correlation between gait and disease status. Hence, insole‐based plantar pressure monitoring techniques are growing rapidly worldwide; with several research institutions and enterprises showing an increased interest in the field. This review intends to first explain the working principles of mainstream insole plantar sensing techniques and design considerations such as sensing material selection and electronics design requirements, and then the state‐of‐the‐art algorithms for plantar pressure distribution reconstruction. Following, this article will discuss disease monitoring applications and the extraction of disease features. Finally, insight regarding common challenges and their potential solutions within the field would be elucidated.

“…Currently, there are not many systems that can use data from force sensors together with data from kinetic systems such as accelerometers and inertial measurement units located in the foot. Previous kinetic studies have provided very useful information in gait analysis, especially in swing phases [25,32]. Other authors have combined force sensors with an accelerometer [1] or an inertial measurement unit [8], which includes an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer.…”

The purpose of this study was to validate a new instrumented insole called ECnsole for measuring flight time during vertical jump performance. 66 participants performed 3 different jump tests (squat jump, countermovement jump and Abalakov jump) twice with flight times determined using an instrumented insole composed of 4 pressure sensors (PreECnsole) and an accelerometer sensor (AccECnsole), a laser platform (Sport Jump System Pro), and a high-speed motion capture system (HSC); the latter 2 systems are considered as reference methods. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), simple linear regression, and the Bland-Altman method were used to assess validity. Regardless of the jump test performed, the ECnsole system showed a systematic bias close to 0 and a low random error (average random error: ?2.8?cm; ?3.1?cm PreECnsole and AccECnsole vs. HSC system respectively and ??2.3?cm; ?2.9?cm PreECnsole and AccECnsole vs. SJS system respectively). The associations between PreECnsole and AccECnsole with the HSC were very high (R2=0.967 and 0.958 respectively). Furthermore, the associations between PreECnsole and AccECnsole with the SJS were very high (R2=0.978 and 0.966 respectively) as well. Therefore, the ECnsole system can be considered an alternative method for measuring jump height during vertical jump performance.
