The aim of present study was to demonstrate usability of the recently developed “Smart Socks” System for
analysis of locomotion temporal parameters. Smart socks system exploits pressure sensors which can be knitted directly in
the garment, thus providing minimal discomfort for user. Two types of locomotion were analysed: walking and running.
Experienced athletes took part in the experiment to perform movements in the controlled conditions in laboratory. The
research demonstrated that temporal accuracy of Smart Sock system is acceptable for practical purposes. Data, provided
by the system could distinguish heel strike and non-heel strike run and walk modes. More data is required for deeper
analysis and interpretation of obtained temporal parameters and for development of recommendations for athletes and
coaches.
