Abstract AR
تم تطوير نوع جديد من أجهزة الإحساس للقدمين لتحليل الضغط على القدم خلال المشية يتكون من طبقة من أجهزة إحساس الضغط مصنوعة من مطاط موصل محشو بين طبقتين من النحاس الرفيع، و تغير كل خلية مقاومتها الكهربائية لدى الضغط، هذا وقد تم وضع هذه الخلايا في أماكن رئيسية على القدم و تستخدم في تحليل توزيع الضغط على القدم خلال دورة المشية.
بتصميم بطانات أحذية لأربعة مقاسات مختلفة من الرجال و النساء البالغين و مقاسين للأطفال ذكورا و إناثا يمكن تقصي توزيع الضغط خلال المشية لدى مجموعة كبيرة من العناصر البشرية السوية و تلك التي تعاني من أمراض عصبية.
Abstract EN
A new type of foot sensor was developed to analyze pressure on the foot during gait.
The sensor consists of a layer of pressure sensors constructed from conductive rubber sandwiched between two layers of thin brass.
Each cell, when compressed, changes its electrical resistance with pressure.
These cells were placed in key positions on the bottom of the foot and used to analyze pressure distribution during the gait cycle.
The hysteresis and load-resistance characteristics of the sensors were measured and were acceptable for this application.
Creep was not seen as a major problem when tested over a three week period.
By building shoe inserts for four different sizes for adult men, four sizes for adult women and two sizes for male and female children, a wide variety of subjects can be analyzed for pressure distribution during gait in normals and people with neurological pathologies.
