Sažetak
The measurement method of pedobarography exists in modern form for a few decades already, but relevant actions towards its standardization were undertaken rather recently. The foot can be biomechanically modeled incorporating realistic geometric and material properties of both skeletal and soft tissue components. This may serve to generate simulated contact stress distributions, to be compared with measured pressure data obtained using pedobarography. The method may assume several technical design possibilities employing various types of pressure sensors, the common feature of these systems being that the process of measurement occurs via a contact of a firm (sensor) and a deformable (foot sole) surface. Critical issues regarding standardization of measurement equipment, measurement protocol, and signal processing and interpretation are commented in some detail. An attempted standardization consensus for devices’ performance suited to biomedical instrumentation standards is documented. A short end view on the instrument device in Zagreb laboratory is put forward.
