    Abstract

    This paper is aimed to access the validity of an instrumented insole system for measuring spatiotemporal parameters during running. This spatio temporal parameters include stride time, ground contact time, swing time and step frequency were collected across various running conditions. Gathering of the parameter data is called Gait analysis. This analysis plays a major role in optimizing athletic performance, rehabilitation, medical condition etc. Even though it performs a major role in our project it also has some drawbacks and limitations. High quality Gait equipment such as motion capture system and force plates can be very expensive to purchase and maintain. Conducting gait analysis often requires specialized facilities or laboratories. Gait can vary between individuals and also the same individual on different days. Previous shoe insole projects focused on only improving running technique, but in our project we are going to add a new parameter that is height which is used for measuring the distance between ground contact and raised foot. This can be implemented in athletics like high jump, hurdles etc. Sensors are devices that pick up physical quantities and respond to them. Their use has grown exponentially, and for certain people they are an essential part of their daily life. The main purpose of the proposed system was to develop a prototype for a shoe which would allow us to gather detailed information on each step taken by a person. The reason for the development of this product was to obtain a more accurate number about the steps a person takes, and at the same time, monitor those steps, with the objective of preventing injuries or correcting habits. To prepare the case, a study and analysis of the market was carried out on the different devices that resembled the objective of the system. Then, an analysis was made to determine which hardware was necessary to make a prototype. After that, a study on which programming style (native vs hybrid) to use was made. An analysis of their possible development and different problems that can lead to the product development process is discussed. A study of the several hardware components is carried out. Also, a basic multiplatform app is developed to check the BLE connectivity and receive the information provided by the hardware. Sensors are essential devices that detect physical quantities and have become integral in people's daily lives.
