POFBG-Embedded Cork Insole for Plantar Pressure Monitoring

POFBG-Embedded Cork Insole for Plantar Pressure Monitoring

We propose a novel polymer optical fiber (POF) sensing system based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) to measure foot plantar pressure. The plantar pressure signals are detected by five FBGs, in the same piece of cyclic transparent optical polymer (CYTOP) fiber, which are embedded in a cork insole for...
