Comparison of feetme insoles with a motion capture system coupled to force plates for assessing gait and posture.

ABSTRACT: Traditional gait measurement systems are often limited by factors such as cost, complexity, prolonged setup times, and requirements for specialized training and expertise. Wearable pressure- and motion-sensing insoles have opened new possibilities for accessible gait analysis in real-life conditions. This study evaluated the equivalence of FeetMe insole measurements of gait parameters to those of a laboratory gold standard, optoelectronic motion capture system coupled to force platforms (MoCap/FP). Gait and posture parameters were assessed in 37 healthy adults by FeetMe insoles and by MoCap/FP system simultaneously. Means and variances were compared, and inter-device agreement was assessed for each parameter. Between-device equivalence was demonstrated for all parameters assessed (two one-
