Low cost foot plantar-pressure scanning pad

The aim of this investigation is to design and construct a demonstrative prototype of a low cost foot planter-pressure scanner that can assess health care providers in diagnosing and monitoring patients who are suffering from foot disorders. The prototype will be designed from a matrix of force sensitive sensors that measure the spread of forces on the plantar surface of the foot. Suitable Graphical User Interface (GUI) software is designed in order to fit with health care provider requirements.
