Murata walking measurement system integrated into 'smart shoes'

[CEATEC 2012] We have seen how Murata intends to help the elderly and infirmed get around more independently in a safer manner via the Electric Walking Assist Car, but here is another device that will target the more able-bodied – a pressure sensor and wireless module that has been embedded into the sole of a pair of shoes, resulting in a walking measurement system to create what some might deem as Smart Shoes. These sensors will monitor the weight shift of the shoe's wearer, letting it check up on forms of running, walking, and golfing among others in addition to charting the effects of rehabilitation.
