Abstract
Individuals with balance and mobility problems might benefit by the use of devices that detect small changes in ground reaction forces and potentially be used to assist movement. For maximum effectiveness, such sensors must measure pressure in all three dimensions. Impact and shear plantar force are essential variables in inverse dynamics reconstructions of the human joint force. Various force sensors have been proposed to monitor plantar forces of the human foot. Most of them have a single-axis measurement, and few are intended for monitoring normal and shear stress. This article proposes a low-cost, biocompatible triaxial piezoresistive sensor developed using simple fabrication techniques and inexpensive machinery. The sensor can detect pressures from 0-800kPa with high response and recovery with minimum hysteresis and repeatable results of over than 100 cycles.
