Shear force Textile Intelligent Measurement System. Define and enable a project for measurement of pressure and shear forces in shoes.
Following orthopedic shoe material research the need emerged for more insight and knowledge in actual shear and pressure forces in the shoe. The idea was the development of a wireless, intelligent insole capable of measuring both shear and pressure forces. For this idea collaboration was sought with partners at TUe, Fontys Engineering, the German technology institute PFI and a number of orthopedic shoe companies. This is translated in a 2-year SIA-RAAK project with 14 collaborating parties and a budget of €600,000,=, for which a grant was applied and awarded.
