Characterization of Elastic Polymer-Based Smart Insole and a Simple Foot Plantar Pressure Visualization Method Using 16 Electrodes
In this paper, we propose a smart insole for inexpensive plantar pressure sensing and a simple visualizing scheme.The insole is composed of two elastomeric layers and two electrode layers where the common top electrode is submerged in the insole.The upper elastomeric layer is non-conductive poly-dimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) and supports plantar pressur
