Shoe-based sensor system smartens up gait rehabilitation and therapy

The video discusses a project led by Professor Masayoshi Tamazuka at UC Berkeley, focusing on a wireless human motion monitoring system for gait rehabilitation. The system includes Smart Shoes and a wireless joint angle sensor, both designed to provide feedback to patients and therapists. The Smart Shoes measure ground contact force, while the joint angle sensor estimates joint rotations. User interfaces for laptops and mobile devices help patients understand their gait and motivate further rehabilitation. The system has been tested on healthy and diseased subjects, showing potential for personalized therapy and remote monitoring.
