STUDY REGARDING RECOGNITION OF THE FOOT TYPE IN DYNAMIC CONDITIONS BASED ON GROUND REACTION FORCES

Abstract

This paper presents a modern alternative to recognize the type of foot loaded under dynamic conditions based on experimental method and heuristic method. Knowing the influence of foot type deviation on the during walking in case of young people, that most of the time cause pain, imbalance and disorders of the foot, it is essential to identify the causes, establish the diagnosis, to quantify the pain and long-term assessment of the implications and setting goals intervention. Abnormal foot biomechanics associated with different types of foot lead to abnormal stress on the muscles acting on the leg and modification of the ground reaction forces. Through the experimental study is collected information on ground reaction forces in the phase of gait, for different types of foot. The obtained information serves as reference system for subsequent measurements, in order to classify any type of foot.
