Wireless in-shoe physical activity monitoring

Abstract

A method includes obtaining foot force data that is created by sampling, in accordance with a sampling signal, data from a plurality of pressure sensing elements of a shoe sensor system, where the plurality of pressure sensing elements are distributed in a pattern having a first pressure sensing element at a fifth metatarsal area of a lateral wall of an insole of a shoe associated with the shoe sensor system, and a second pressure sensing element at a first metatarsal area of a medial wall of the insole. The method further includes processing the foot force data to determine a horizontal force of a foot of a user of the shoe sensor system while the user is performing a movement while wearing the shoe.
