Objective

The scientific and technical objectives of this research proposal is to introduce an innovative measuring and mathematical modeling technique to qualify film pressure sensors of the FSR (Force Sensing Resistor) technology to perform accurate force and pressure measurements in orthopaedics and sports. The results are to be applied to sports cyclist shoes that should measure athletic force, and energy expenditure and to Precision Orthopaedic Platform.
