Popis:	The foot plays an important role as it is the only connection that the human body has with the floor when walking, running, etc. The two main techniques commonly used to study the lower limb in biomechanics are gait analysis and plantar pressure measurements. However, they require different settings: One requires barefoot experimentation and the other requires the subject to be shod. The method proposed in this paper attempts to solve this problem by designing shoes that can mimic both conditions. This allows the analysis of both approaches simultaneously and therefore provides valuable inputs for the development of a well validated model of the foot.
