MEMS Technology Sensors as a More Advantageous Technique for Measuring Foot Plantar Pressure and Balance in Humans

Table 2

The nine different setups performed during the tests.

Setup 1	Standing	Standing at rest and then lifting one leg at a time.
Setup 2	Balancing left/right	Balancing from right foot to left foot, first slowly (light) and then quicker.
Setup 3	Balancing front/back	Balancing from front to back in a constant sequence (each 10 s).
Setup 4	Swinging counterclockwise	Rotating hips to induce pressure changes.
Setup 5	Lifting legs	Similar to the first one, but moving quicker, thus making the force applied by the foot stronger.
Setup 6	Walking	Untutored walk for 60 s.
Setup 7	Coughing, laughing	5 s of coughing followed by 5 s of laughing between resting states.
Setup 8	Adding weight	Three different weights given to the subject in a sequence.
Setup 9	Jumping	Three slow (5 s) jumps followed by 5 consecutive small jumps of 1 s duration.
