As several diseases are reflected in the human foot as plantar
pressures, divers gait assessment technologies have been developed. Some of them include force plataforms, IMUs (inertial measurement units) and instrumented insoles. Instrumented insoles have advantages over the other mentioned technologies, for instance,
they do not limit the gait assessment to few steps and, they do not require a repetitive
process of calibration. Different sensors have been used to develop these instrumented
insoles, some examples are capacitive sensors, FSR, piezoresistive sensors and optical
sensors. In literature optical sensors have been identified as an attractive option on account of their mechanical properties and the electromagnetic noise immunity. Taking into
account the state of the art in this work, an instrumented insole based on polymeric optical
fiber sensors is developed and characterized.
