Abstract

Through the theoretical analysis of the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) and the center of pressure (COP), sensor boots is installed A401 pressure sensors at the foot heel, the first phalanges and the fifth toe bone. Analyzing foot pressure signals, control systems determine the gait and movement of the human body. Experiments show that plantar pressure testing system can collect real-time plantar pressure information and accurately obtain different characteristics of gait cycle, as determine the walking state of the body.
