In the present paper we describe the wireless system for gate and plantar pressure analysis based on developed Smart socks with embedded knitted pressure sensors. System validation is made by comparative gate analysis of different running and walking modes of asymptomatic and flat foot. Developed system demonstrated potential abilities for gate features detection and therefore it could be used for medical and sport applications.
