Abstract
Background
Smart insoles are gaining attention in both medical and non-medical fields due to
their real-time kinematic data collection. . The integration of artificial
intelligence has increased its accuracy and usefulness.
Purpose
This study explores the effectiveness of smart insoles and their evolution, from
early smart insoles to those developed with AI, and assesses the role of AI in
enhancing their accuracy and efficiency.
Methods
The systematic review was conducted in March of 25. Sites such as pilot study
were searched for articles dealing with smart sole technologies in terms of design,
sensors, health monitoring, and user experience. Inclusion and exclusion criteria,
data extraction using standardized methods, and removal of duplicates were
identified. Inclusion criteria: Studies published between 2015 and 2024, focus on
smart insoles in the biomechanics of walking, integration of artificial intelligence
into devices, age of participants between 20-55 years, conditions such as diabetic
foot and Parkinson's disease, and Healthy people who can walk on their own.
Exclusion criteria: Studies published outside the specified scope, age of
participants below or above the specified threshold, and unhealthy people with
balance issues
Results
Ten results were included. Out of 18 after excluding results with exclusion criteria
such as age, health issues of the participants, The arch support smart insoles
reduced the angle of plantar flexion and increased the angle of foot lift to the
outside. Users reported greater gait comfort and rehabilitation preference,
associated with higher foot lift. One system recorded spatial, temporal and
kinematic gait data, plantar pressure and temperature. Smart insoles support real
time monitoring and early detection of conditions such as diabetic foot and
Parkinson's disease.
Conclusion
Smart insoles play an important and valuable role in improving gait and balance,
with strong potential for rehabilitation. Artificial intelligence further improves their
diagnostic capability.
