footPress is a MATLAB based toolbox which can be used for visualization and analysis of plantar pressure data.
- footPress: An Open-Source MATLAB Toolbox for Analysis of Pedobarography Data, in International Conference on NeuroRehabilitation, doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-01845-0_72
The main features of the toolbox include data visualisation, sensor masking, time series, center of pressure and multi-segment analysis along with report generation. The toolbox can be used with an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) without working with the underlying code. However, a functional approach to code implementation ensures that the toolbox can be used as a set of independent functions and new functions can easily be added.

Currently footPress is being developed on macOS High Sierra, MATLAB 2017b.
- Clone the git repository using git. Or, download a compressed copy here.
$ git clone https://github.com/GallVp/footPress
- From MATLAB file explorer, enter the footPress folder by double clicking it. Type footPress in the MATLAB command window and hit enter to run.
- F-scan exported asf files
- MATLAB mat files
From the footPress GUI, data for both left and right foot saved in separate files can be imported by keeping the files in the same folder and selecting one of the files. The files should be named as exampleL.asf and exampleR.asf. This naming convention allows footPress to automatically load the file for the opposite foot.
footPress uses following third party libraries. The licenses for these libraries can be found next to source files in their respective libs/thirdpartlib folders.
