摘要：
A system for measuring the functioning of the feet of a user includes an insert having an arrangement of sensors positioned in footwear to sense the pressure or deflection of the sensors by a user engaged in activity like walking, running, or playing a sport (e.g., golf； tennis, football, basketball). The sensor arrangement for each foot includes sensors at multiple locations under or proximate a foot which sensors each predictably vary in resistance upon application of a force thereto. The sensors supply analog signals to a circuit which in turn sends signals reflective of the force through an A-D converter for transmission wirelessly by, for example, a wireless Bluetooth device. The digitalized signals reflective of deflection are collected and sent to the remote control device to compute and display images reflective of the force of the foot experienced at each of the multiple locations. An accelerometer may also be combined proximate to or attached to the insert to supply signals reflective of the acceleration and which can be used to calculate and display other information including acceleration. A wireless charging structure is included to obtain power wirelessly and to supply power to the insert.
