Gait monitoring system based on plastic optical fiber integrated with smartphone

abstract

This paper demonstrates a portable optical sensor for human gait monitoring. The device is based on a smartphone and POF sensor specifically designed for use in shoe insoles. The monitoring of multiple sensors by a single smart device is achieved by image segmentation based on Voronoi tessellation, as this work describes in detail. Experimental tests performed with the sensor have demonstrated its ability to provide information on spatial and temporal parameters of gait as well as pressure at different plantar loci. © 2023 SPIE.
