Analysis and Optimization of Foot Pressure Patterns in Pes Planus-A Comprehensive Study

This work is dedicated to designing and developing a specialized Pressure Mapping Analysis and Evaluation measurement module tailored for individuals with Pes Planus, commonly referred to as flat feet. Pes Planus, a medical condition characterized by flattened arches, alters biomechanics and increases pressure on various foot areas. The proposed module aims to offer a comprehensive solution by assessing and analyzing pressure distribution across the foot sole. This analysis will guide the development of customized footwear, alleviating discomfort and preventing related issues. To achieve accurate pressure mapping, we have fixed pressure mapping sensors in the insole of the shoe, ensuring proper output and effective alignment. A graphical monitor is included to visualize foot pressure distribution. In our future endeavors, we plan to create shoes specifically designed for Pes Planus, enhancing proper alignment to further improve the well-being of individuals with flat feet. This advancement holds the potential to reduce pain, enhance stability, and prevent long-term musculoskeletal problems associated with flat feet.
