Digital Toe Pressure Assessment Using WalkinSense

The WalkinSense® (Tomorrow Options SA, Porto, Portugal) system was used to gather digital toe pressure data whilst wearing the two footwear conditions in the same randomised order. This validated system [24 (link)] allows for individual sensors to be applied anywhere on the foot. Eight piezoresistive force, 100 Hz sensors were individually secured with Micropore™ tape (3 M, Bracknell, UK) to the following landmarks on the left foot [9 (link)] (Fig. 2).Fig. 2

Walkinsense® sensor placement 1–8 on digital landmarks, as well as experimental set up for data capture. Micropore was loosely applied to secure the sensors

(i)

Medial border of the 1^st metatarsophalangeal joint

(ii)

Medial border of the first interphalangeal joint

(iii)

Interdigital (1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5)

(iv)

Proximal interphalangeal joint

(v)

5^th proximal interphalangeal joint

(vi)

Lateral border of the 5^th metatarsal head

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
