Numerous studies on the development of new biofeedback device conception have already been undertaken. Patients with loss of protective pain sensation are unable to modify their gait when abnormal and excessive plantar pressure occurs. For this reason, we have developed and tested a portable baropodometric biofeedback, on healthy subjects, to prevent injuries by informing the subject when local pressure exceeds a determined threshold. Anaesthesia cream enables us to determine the ability to use our device with a perturbation of the plantar sensory inputs. Results showed 58.2% of success steps in the EMLA condition while the placebo condition showed 57.5% of success steps.
