Abstract

The systematic study of human locomotion known as gait analysis can be applied in various contexts, including athletics, rehabilitation, and clinical diagnoses. However, the present gait analysis methods have several limitations that make them inappropriate for individual use, such as the fact that they are expensive, non-portable, need a significant amount of time to set up, and require additional time for post-processing. This study aims to investigate and develop a gait analysis system to measure the vertical ground reaction forces. The measurement instrument qualities of being flexible, portable, and comfortable are essential to the design of wearable sensors. The device was calibrated using a universal testing machine (Force plate device). In addition, this study used flexible force sensors for detecting vGRF. The result shows the device works with high efficiency and accuracy in measurement when calculating the values of ground reaction force compared with the values of reaction force measured by the university testing machines. Keywords: Gait cycle, Ground reaction force, Arduino, Force plate, Smart sole

测量地面反作用力的便携式智能鞋底的设计与制造

步态分析是对人体运动的系统研究，可应用于各种场合，包括运动、康复和临床诊断。然而，目前的步态分析方法有一些局限性，使它们不适合个人使用，例如它们昂贵，不可携带，需要大量的时间来设置，并且需要额外的时间进行后处理。本研究旨在研究并开发一套测量垂直地面反作用力的步态分析系统。测量仪器的灵活、便携、舒适是可穿戴传感器设计的基本要求。使用万能试验机(力板装置)对装置进行校准。此外，本研究采用柔性力传感器检测vGRF。结果表明，该装置在计算地面反力值时，与高校试验机测得的反力值相比，具有较高的测量效率和精度。关键词:步态周期，地反力，Arduino，力板，智能鞋底
