Abstract

This paper presents a shoe-integrated sensor device which collects objective information concerning the gait quality in patients' physical rehabilitation. It involves four pressure sensors, two bending sensors, an ultrasonic sensor and a 9dof IMU, an Inertial Measurement Unit with three accelerometers, three gyroscopes and three magnetometers. The device includes a SDRAMPS with the aim of storing the information for long periods of time. The collected data can be sent to the server for later visualization by the specialist and the patient on a web platform. An interface shows the data in real time, allowing it to verify the connections and to check different movements.
