1. 1. Does the shoe type matter when prescribing custom-made foot orthoses? A comparison of peak plantar pressure in healthy subjects with custom-made foot orthoses in different shoe types.

   University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

   Author : Erik Wennerholm; Jenny Gustafsson; [2023]
   Keywords : shoe design; in-shoe measurement; customized insoles; pressure distribution; inserts; skodesign; inlägg; tryckmätning i sko; tryckfördelning; fotbäddar;

   Abstract : Purpose: A common prescription in Prosthetic and orthotic clinics in Sweden is custom-made foot orthoses (CmFO). These must be placed in shoes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the shoe type will have an impact on the effectiveness of CmFO regarding plantar pressure (PP). READ MORE

3. 2. A feasibility study of smart insoles with graphene coated resistive textile sensors.

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

   Author : Tewolde Neud; [2023]
   Keywords : Smart Insoles; Resitive textile sensors; Pressure-sensitive insoles; Graphene coating;

   Abstract : Pressure sensitive insoles are an emerging and promising technology that has always been interesting for gait and planar pressure related applications. This technology can be especially valuable for monitoring, movement, and rehabilitation purposes where the pressure sensing insoles could be utilized to assess for abnormalities in order to treat or prevent complications.

Optical motion capture combined with force plates provideaccurate measurements, but are confined to laboratory settings limiting theirpotential usefulness in clinical applications. READ MORE

5. 4. Exploratory Study on Lower Limb Amputee Patients : Use of IMUs to Monitor the Gait Quality During the Rehabilitation Period

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Aude Barthélemy; [2019]
   Keywords : Gait analysis; Lower Limb Amputee; IMU; Gait quality; Rehabilitation;

   Abstract : Specific rehabilitation is a key period for a lower-limb amputee patient. While learning how to walk with a prosthesis, the patient needs to avoid any gait compensations that may lead to future comorbidities. READ MORE

6. 5. Ground Reaction Force Prediction during Weighted Leg Press and Weighted Squat in a Flywheel Exercise Device

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

   Author : Tobias Munkhammar; [2017]
   Keywords : Ground reaction force prediction; musculoskeletal model; validation; leg press; squat; biomechanical analysis; pressure sensitive insoles; flywheel exercise device;

   Abstract : When performing a biomechanical analysis of human movement, knowledge about the ground reaction force (GRF) is necessary to compute forces and moments within joints. This is important when analysing a movement and its effect on the human body. READ MORE
