Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    A customer has created a smart shoe that will sensor and monitor a person’s gait, or pattern of movement in real-time. Gait analysis monitors performance by athletes, by tracking and studying the human movement. Sensors are needed for the smart shoe in order to gather data on foot movements.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface’s LBM Compression Load Button Load Cell can be installed in the sole of the shoe. When connected to a WTS-AM-1E Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Module, the movement results is wirelessly transmitted to the customer’s PC through the WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station. With supplied Log100 software, gait results are measured, monitored, and recorded.

  • Results

    Interface’s LBM Compression Load Button Load Cell successfully measured human movements such as balance, stride strength, foot pressure, and posture during the gait analysis.

Materials


  • LBM Compression Load Button Load Cell
  • WTS-AM-1E Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Module
  • WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station with supplied Log100 software
  • Customer PC or Laptop

How it Works


  1. The LBM Compression Load Button Load Cell can be installed in the sole of the shoe. TheLBM is connected to a WTS-AM-1E Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Module.
  2. An athlete wears the smart shoe containing the load cell. A study is conducted on the athlete’s movements such as balance, stride, strength, foot pressure, and posture.
  3. Data results are sent wirelessly to the customer’s PC through the WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station with supplied Log100 software.
