Weight bearing sensor

Develop a sensor to assist a physical therapist in measuring and showing a patient what partial weight bearings (20%, 50%, etc.) actually feel like.

Project Overview

Design a device to assist a physical therapist in measuring the amount of weight put onto the leg(s) of an individual they are working with. The sensor should be small and thin enough to maintain comfort and functionality whilst fitting within a patient’s shoe, and the supporting strap and exterior parts should be adjustable in order to fit all patients regardless of foot size or swelling.
