Overload assessing device for lower limbs or spinal column of person, particularly one equipped with prosthesis, comprises load sensor worn by person in at least one shoe

摘要

The load assessment device (16) assesses the load exerted on the foot (12) in the shoe (14) of the person. A signal emitter (34) sends a signal to the person when the assessment device detects a load exceeding a predetermined load threshold. The assessment device can detect torsional forces and/or impulses of such forces. The signal emitter produces an acoustic or tactile signal and is worn by the person as an armband or neck band. The load assessment device is integrated in the sole (28) of the shoe. The load assessment device is integrated in the sole (28) of the shoe, in an inlay sole (20), in the area of the heel of the shoe, or in the area of the ball of the foot.
