Athletic Performance Insole Sensor

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed an insole sensor to provide a practical method of measuring the full range of forces on the foot. The insoles can be substituted into shoes to be non-intrusive to the user and be used during daily activities. In addition, the insoles encompass the sensor electronics to ensure resistance to elements such as water, dust, and wear. The versatility of this solution allows it to be used in any type of shoe depending on the intended sport. Trainers would likely use the sensor to measure athletic performance and understand ways to avoid non-contact injury.
