Symposia Abstract

Capturing Pediatric Natural Gait Using In-Shoe Plantar Pressure

Accurate, repeatable plantar pressure and gait measurements are essential in assessing the characteristics of footwear. It is especially challenging collecting large datasets with children due to the time required, access and logistics of controlled environment and the population. 

The study we’ll be presenting on utilized in-shoe plantar pressure data to provide insights into plantar pressure, loading and timing of gait. The body of research done on the topic has proven that plantar pressure data will be helpful for footwear manufacturers in assessing characteristics of their products that promote foot health.

About XSENSOR Technology

Without the data revealed by Intelligent Dynamic Sensing, footwear and clothing can compromise performance, comfort, and safety. In clinical, sports performance, or research applications, existing plantar pressure and gait measurement products are not suitable for real-world testing.


Leading with our Intelligent Dynamic Sensing technology which reveals hidden data, we offer leading-edge foot and gait analysis tools for biomechanics professionals in sports performance, footwear design, and clinical and research labs.

Title – Beyond EMG. An Exploration of Movement.

Speaker – Jonathan Hagyard, Product Specialist

“How do we control our muscles?

This is a critical component of our lives, whether talking about professional athletes optimising performance or restoring the ability to walk following spinal cord injury.  The central nervous system regulates and modulates how muscles generate the force needed to move. Through electromyography (EMG), we explore and assess the functionality and efficiency of the neuromuscular system and further our understanding of human movement. 

Advancements in high-density surface Electromyography (HDsEMG) now allow us to further examine how the brain controls movement.

Join us to explore our innovative HDsEMG technologies and how they can support your advancing research”
