Smart Shoes for the Monitoring of Gait Type and Calorie Expenditure
We have developed the smart shoes which can analyze the gait type of people. There are 3 gait types, that is, normal gait, in-toeing gait, and out-toeing gait. The 3 strain sensors to evaluate human gait were installed in midsole of the shoes. The smart shoes can make a correct the
disorder of gait and our posture. And it also counted the number of steps we take, and measured calorie burning during walking. It helps to control the weight for healthful life by knowing the amount of exercise.
