Piezoresistive sensors for the gait cycles events detection are placed under the foot surface, in a position
that allows a precise measurement of support and toe off. Up to four sensors for foot are available, and
these are displaced in the typical positions:
- Toe sensor n. 1
- First metatarsus, sensor n. 2
- Fifth metatarsus, sensor n. 3
- Heel, sensor n. 4
Sensors are not different from each other and they are numbered from 1 to 4 only to identify the applica-
tion area.
The location and the positioning techniques can change according to operator’s preferences.
The connection to Footswitch electrode has to be done according to the following representation:
Proceed according to the following instructions:
1. Apply the sensor on the patient;
2. Identify the orientation of the FSW electrode socket;
3. Put the FSW sensor plug into the FSW electrode socket according to the number.
The four inputs are electrically and mechanically identical; to have correct data identification, inputs
are:
