A comparison of the accuracy of the smart sock system to force platform and optical system for measurement of temporal parameters of locomotion

The aim of the study was to present a new DAid®Pressure Sock System for feet locomotion monitoring and to verify it's temporal characteristics by data comparison with the same obtained by two other widely used methods as reference. Designed system is based on sensors which can be knitted directly in the garment or hosiery items. DAid®Pressure Sock System was created for sport and medical applications. Comparison of temporal characteristics of different types of locomotion, obtained using designed system and reference devises, showed good agreement between data. (paper)
