ABSTRACT
Flatfoot, if left undiagnosed, may lead to postural issues, pain, and longterm musculoskeletal conditions. Conventional diagnosis methods, such as Xrays or visual inspection, are normally costly, time-consuming, and require
professional expertise, so they are unavailable especially for small clinics or
remote hospitals. The project presents the development of a Portable Flat Foot
Detection Device specifically designed for medical centers and physiotherapy
clinics. The system integrates FSR sensors with an ESP32 microcontroller to
capture and analyze real-time foot pressure data. The results are transmitted
wirelessly and displayed through an ESP32-based web server interface,
accessible from any device in the same network. The system categorizes feet
by type as normal, flatfoot, or hollow foot based on pressure distribution on the
sole. This project aims to provide an inexpensive, portable, and convenient
diagnostic instrument to assist healthcare professionals in early diagnosis and
treatment preparation. The work also evaluates the system's accuracy, stability,
and real-time functionality, further optimizing available, efficient, and up-to-date
diagnostic methods in rehabilitation therapy and physiotherapy treatment.
