Instrumented insole to measure Foot Transmitted Vibration

Dawson discusses the application of MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) accelerometers in shoe insoles to better measure foot-transmitted vibration inside of worker footwear. Using an instrumented insole can allow for more accurate measurements of vibration exposure at the foot and the transmissibility of vibration through footwear can be evaluated.
