In the current investigation, the accuracy and reliability of two pairs of
Footscan pressure insoles (500 Hz, RSscan, Belgium) was assessed, with four
female (pair 1) and four male (pair 2) participants each performing 16 running
trials (3.8m/s +/- 5%). Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) revealed that
the reliability of the force and pressure data was generally excellent
(ICC>0.75). In comparison with impact and propulsive force data collected
simultaneously with a force plate (AMTI, 500 Hz), insole data were significantly
lower (p<0.05). Therefore, despite the excellent reliability of measurements, the
accuracy of the impact and propulsive forces taken with the Footscan pressure
insole is low. It is concluded that data collected without appropriate
calibration should be used with caution, particularly if the aim is to use the
data for a comparison of absolute force and pressure magnitudes with criterion
values.
