Systems and methods for providing biofeedback information to a subject for
gait assistive therapy are provided. The system comprises an insole
pressure sensor and means for communicating the pressure exerted by the
subject on the insole pressure sensor to the subject. The insole pressure
sensor comprises conductive elements in communication with a transmitter,
which transmits a pressure signal to a receiver worn by the subject. The
method comprises monitoring pressure applied by the subject to the insole
pressure sensor, monitoring a pressure threshold of the insole pressure
sensor, and transmitting an output signal when the pressure exceeds a
pre-determined pressure threshold. The insole pressure sensor in various
aspects has a ball portion and heel portion corresponding to the
respective ball and heel of a subject's foot.
