  • Continuous foot-strike measuring system and method
    Patent number: 5299454
    Abstract: A foot-strike measuring system and method using a pair of tandem plates each having at least two sensors along the direction of travel for measuring force. By monitoring the signals on the sensors at the adjacent edges and comparing with those on the nonadjacent sensors, the system determines whether one foot is on both plates or one foot is on each plate. This allows collecting and tracking sensor signals for each foot separately. Center of pressure is also calculated using the speed of the treadmill.
