Vibration monitoring provides a good-quality source of information about the health condition of machines, and it is often based on the use of accelerometers. This article focuses on the use of accelerometer sensors in fabricating a low-cost system for monitoring vibrations in agricultural machines, such as rotary tedders. The aim of the study is to provide useful data on equipment health for improving the durability of such machinery.

Background: In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in developing in-shoe foot plantar pressure systems. Although such devices are not novel, devising insole devices for gait analysis is still an important issue.
Objective: The goal of this study is to develop a new portable system for plantar pressure distribution measurement based on a three-axis accelerometer.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the development of a low-cost wearable sensor system for gait analysis, including plantar pressure insoles and joint angle measurement devices.
- - A validation study involving ten volunteers demonstrated the system's accuracy by comparing its measurements of ground reaction forces and joint moments against a reference motion capture system.
- - Results showed high accuracy, with a root mean square error of just 1% for ground reaction force, suggesting the system is suitable for both research and clinical use outside conventional settings.
