Earlier work has shown that the IngVaL pedobarography system can estimate walking speed during indoor walking using only three forefoot sensors. The aim of this study was to examine if monitoring of walking speed using data from these three forefoot sensors is affected of the weight a person carries, if the person performs a walk in a set speed on the treadmill. Shoe insoles with force sensing resistors were connected to an electronic unit for signal conditioning and sampling and then the data was sent via Bluetooth to a tablet. Fifteen test persons walked five times each carrying five different weights on the treadmill at 1 m/s. The force-time integrals for the sum of the three forefoot sensors were calculated. This study shows that the force-time integrals for the three forefoot sensors shows a linear relationship with the carried weight as long as the person is not fatigued.
