High-tech "heelys shoes" can sense that users will fall and prevent fractures.
This space-aged shoe has the same shape as a regular shoe, but the pressure detector on the sole and heel can detect gravity movement.
The detector is connected to the ten small wheels on the heel. If the detector detects that the pressure suddenly moves forward, indicating that a slip will occur soon, they will send a message to the microchip on the shoe that controls the movement of the wheel. The chip controls the wheel a few inches forward or backward depending on the magnitude and direction of the detected pressure to maintain a balance to prevent falls.
The wheels protrude about one inch from the sole so they can stay in contact with the ground. They are designed to roll a few inches while being fastened like a tooth.
The new invention, called "B-Shoes", is able to walk on a smooth surface, similar to the Heelys shoes, featuring skates and training shoes.
It can take up to a year for an elderly person to recover from a fracture, and about one in five elderly people with a fracture will die. 20% of fractures per year are older than 65 years of age. The reason why the elderly fall easily is because the muscles weakened after the old man can not effectively control the balance of the body. Many older people even need crutches or people's support.
But some older people are reluctant to take advantage of this. This shoe can prevent falls and can solve this problem. To test this design, Israeli scientists asked volunteers to wear this shoe for testing in all directions on a special test platform. The camera tracks and tracks the movement of the shoe while creating a slight imbalance. A detector is embedded on the floor to record the gravity movement data before the fall. Scientists use data to develop microchips to identify people's fine balance changes before they fall.
Dr. Abraham Stamper of Electronic Engineering said that the B-shoe sole comes with a rechargeable battery.
However, at present, this kind of shoes is still in the stage of prototype development. It is only two years after you want to buy B-shoes.
