Foot Assessment

Abstract

The general purpose of this foot assessment device is to detect pressure under people foot for analysis procedure, and help overcome the foot problem of the patient by analysed the data result from the pressure between foot and shoe. Foot assessment device will help patient to been analyzed by measure the pressure under the foot several time to get. The measurement of pressure between the foot and shoe is important in gait analysis and other health diagnosis. Abnormal pressure may indicate instability on gait, risk of ulceration development especially in diabetic foot as well as have many other biomedical diagnostic applications. However, the currently available foot pressure sensors show a number of weaknesses that limit their performance in the measurement of foot plantar pressure. This project study will reviews the component to be used to perform the most useful and sensitive foot assessment devices. The project study will concludes with recommendations on the reliability of the foot assessment devices to be used as diagnostic application for foot.
