Abstrakt: The function of the back, hip, knee, ankle and other orthopedic alterations of the human body can be analyzed through plantar pressure distribution. The development of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) can handle the uncertainties present in biological data using different Artificial Intelligence techniques to obtain accurate and easy-to-use systems. This paper presents the application of a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) formulation, for knowledge extraction in the classification of human plantar foot alterations, with a relatively small and transparent model. The FCM is trained using the Bacterial Search Optimization Algorithm (BFOA). One hundred and twenty-five volunteer subjects (aged 20-68 years) participated in the study. Classification of the foot into normal (n=31), flat (n=32), cavus type III (n=31) and cavus type IV (n=31) to train the system was performed by specialized physicians. The test was performed by walking on a FreeMed platform. The proposed method shows an accuracy rate of about 89% in the classification task and allows extracting information related to the important factors that the system considers to make a decision.
