Chapter 7 - Placing the Gait Sensor in the Shoe
Placing the Gait Sensor in the Shoe
The Gait Sensor pressure sensor is placed under the insole of your shoe. If
your shoe does not have a detachable insole, place the sensor on top of the
insole. Then, place a generic soft, thin (one layer versus two) insole over it.
Generic insoles can be purchased from drugstores, shoe stores, or Bioness.
Caution: Do not use the Gait Sensor with a rigid insole, such
as a custom rigid orthosis or an ankle foot orthosis.
To position the Gait Sensor:
1. Lift the shoe insole.
2. Attach a Gait Sensor pad under the insole, at the heel of the shoe. See
Figure 36.
