A system is described herein for sensing and determining the pressure exerted on the footboard of a podiatric apparatus by the feet of a person, so as to measure the footprints thereof. The system utilizes a plurality of sensors distributed uniformly on the footboard and beneath a layer of flexible material, such as rubber. The sensors are connected to a Multiplexer device, to an analog/digital converter, to a programmed calculator which translates the pressure data into visible and/or readable values. The sensors may also ho subdivided into a plurality of strips in order to accelerate and shorten the process involved.
