  • Abstract
    Numerous studies on the development of new biofeedback device conception have already been undertaken. The devices are used for some methods of compensation for the data loss on sensors set. Patients with loss of protective pain sensation are unable to modify their gait when abnormal and excessive plantar pressure occurs. Repeated pressure can result in ulcer formation at specific points. For this reason, we have developed a baropodometric biofeedback to prevent injuries by informing the subject when local pressure exceeds a determined threshold. The case study of our visual and auditory biofeedback is encouraging. The system provides a warning system that may play a valuable role in preventing injuries or ulceration by changing the walking pattern without generating dangerous redistribution.
