Abstract :
In this paper, designing and fabricating a mechatronic system for analyzing exerted forces by human gait has been described. Force sensitive resistors (FSRs) sensors as well as Arduino Due (Microcontroller) have been utilized in the system which is mounted on a shoe insole. Furthermore, the applied Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) programming technique in microcontroller and signal conditioning circuit design has been explained. The mechatronic system has been tuned and calibrated through the experimental tests and some of the important results have been presented and discussed.
