Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The current division of the plantar area is usually based on anatomy, without considering the unique plantar biomechanics factors of each individual, and unable to reflect the personalized characteristics of each individual’s plantar stress.

OBJECTIVE: To classify the plantar region from the perspective of biomechanics, and to obtain the map of plantar region that can reflect the stress characteristics of individual planta.

METHODS: Taking a normal person walking as an example, the change of plantar pressure distribution with time was obtained by using F-scan insole pressure measurement system. Based on biomechanical data, the characteristic regions of the soles of the foot were divided by cluster analysis to form a personalized map of the soles of the foot.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on biomechanical data, the personalized map of plantar region division obtained by the cluster analysis can be used as an index to reflect the characteristics of the individual’s plantar stress. A small number of sensors located at the geometric center of the plantar feature area can better reflect the characteristics of the individual’s plantar stress during the movement.
