Specifically, fig. 7, 8, 9 and 10 are schematic illustrations of a support phase gait scenario in which the left foot is the test foot and the right foot is the non-test foot.
Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a gait condition i provided according to an embodiment of the present application, that is, a schematic diagram of a force applied to a foot during a heel strike phase in a normal gait support phase, in which the forces of sensing points near a proximal phalanx and a distal phalanx of a non-test foot reach a peak value and begin to decrease, a force is applied to a sensing point (No. 8) of a heel bone after the test, and a body center of gravity is located at a distal phalanx of the non-test foot, so that a preliminary alternation of both feet is started.
