smart shoe insole for gait detection

smart insole

Each gait cycle consists of two phases, where both feet are in contact with the ground, called Double Support. The first Double Support is also called ‘Load Response’, whereas the second is called ‘Pre Swing’. When only one foot is in contact with the ground, this is called Single Support.

Compatible with iOS or Android devices, Insole X works by integrating fabric sensor-embedded array and advanced algorithms. Real-time sensor measurements are streamed to the companion software. The sensor-embedded inserts fit inside any running or walking shoes. They are so comfortable, you won't even realize they're inside the shoe. The cloud service allows for simple data accessibility. Data can be pulled for a given session or data range and can be exported in multiple formats. Collect sensor measurements on a session basis, you are ready to go. After configuring settings for the paired device, you can push data to the Insole X Cloud infrastructure for additional processing and storage.

gait symmetry training|smart insole

Gait symmetry is related to energy expenditure, we can say the most efficient gait pattern is a symmetrical gait. Individuals with stroke tend to have higher energy expenditures and extremely low ambulatory activity levels compared with healthy people. For better gait rehabilitation, Insole X can monitor their daily activities and assess the effects of physical therapy with detailed gait analysis reports.

new smart insole to solve gait problems

Insole X integrates low cost sensors and computes important gait features. In this way, patients or users can wear the smart insole for gait analysis in daily life instead of participating in gait lab experiments for hours. Insole X‘s portable sensing system and effective feature extraction algorithm enables precise gait analysis. Furthermore, taking advantage of the affordability and mobility of the smart insole, pervasive gait analysis can be extended to many potential applications such as fall prevention, life behavior analysis and networked wireless health systems.

 Smart Insole--SENNOPRO

 Smart Insole--SENNOPRO is a wearable monitoring product with high accuracy and reliability. It consists of smart insoles that can be place in shoes and a data analyzer, which are connected via wireless communication protocols so that the activities of users can be monitored in real-time. As a wearable product with smart textile sensors, the insole allows for measuring high-resolution under-foot pressure distribution, based on which a number of healthcare applications (for example, gait analysis, sport risk prevention, and physical rehabilitation) can be achieved. In addition to that, it also captures acceleration, direction, and location data.
