DEVICE FOR DETERMINING DEFORMATION AND PAIN THRESHOLD OF COMPRESSION OF SIDE SURFACE OF FOOT Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A43D1/00 

FIELD: footwear industry.

SUBSTANCE: device can be used in shoe industry, particularly when determining deformation and pain threshold of compression side surface of foot. Said data are necessary for correct designing of shoe upper stock, selection of material, particularly for local zones of contact shoe top stocks with foot to prevent painful effect in said zones on tissue of side surface of foot. Device for measurement of compression force and deformation of foot in accordance with sensations of test subject involves measuring compression and deformation of tissues of foot, a processor, a monitor, a printer. Measuring unit consists of a step motor, screw-nut transmission and strain gage sensor actuated by remote control device, there is a magnetic plate for fixation and release of measurement unit installed on it by switching on and off power field.

EFFECT: measurement results are accurate measurements of forces of compression and deformation of side surfaces of foot, where person being tested senses allowable and critical level of tactile effects.
