Projeto de desenvolvimento de um protótipo de baropôdometro

Abstract

This work contains the development process of a baropodometer prototype, which is a tool used to generate the pressure distribution pattern of the lower part of the foot or plantar region, the development was aimed at building a low-cost prototype, to be used by physiotherapists in small clinics, it was realized using pressure sensors and the Arduino prototyping platform, as well as a software solution for data processing and analysis. As result, the proposed solution was able to provide the patients dynamic gait analysis as well the planar pressure distribution patterns in differents gait stages by physiotherapists
