Foot Strike Pattern Detection Using a Loadsol® Sensor Insole
Keiichiro Hata, Yohei Yamazaki, Misato Ishikawa, Toshio Yanagiya

TL;DR
A sensor insole accurately detects foot strike patterns during running, showing potential for injury prevention and performance analysis.
Contribution
The study introduces a novel sensor insole method for field-based foot strike pattern detection with high accuracy.
Findings
The loadsol® sensor insole achieved 94.7% accuracy for rearfoot and 81.8% for forefoot strikes.
Runners showed mixed foot strike patterns even at constant speeds, indicating individual biomechanic variability.
Abstract
What are the main findings? Foot strike pattern detection using the loadsol® sensor insole method achieved high detection accuracy for rearfoot (94.7%) and forefoot (81.8%) strikes compared to a traditional kinematic approach.Runners exhibited mixed foot strike patterns, even at constant treadmill speeds, highlighting individual variability in running biomechanics.
