2014 36th annual international conference of the IEEE engineering …, 2014•ieeexplore.ieee.orgWe equipped an insole with a force sensor that can detect in real time when a foot over
pronates. When such behavior is detected, we warn the user so they can correct their
posture by using their own muscles. The effectiveness of this novel way to correct over
pronation posture is evaluated over a two-week period. The use of vibrotactile feedback
reduces over pronation by 30% to 50% during the first week. The natural benefits of the
proposed method vs. use of passive orthotics are also presented.
