Foot plantar pressure is the pressure field that acts between the foot and the support surface during locomotor activities. Information obtained from such pressure measurement gives us ankle and foot functions during gait and other activities. The ankle and foot provide the required support to do different activities like walking, playing, running etc. Data from plantar pressure measurement is crucial for diagnosing lower limb problems, designing a footwear, sport biomechanics, injury prevention and diagnosis. This paper concentrates on the applications of foot plantar pressure measurement in different fields and its future scope.
