✦ Synopsis

After analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each existing system, we propose a homemade shoe with an ''instrumented sole''. This sole contains several holes designed to receive force transducers. Each homemade transducer is composed of one dynamometric ring and one strain gauge. When defined forces are exerted on each transducer separately, the responses are very linear and the absolute error is less than 2%. This instrumented shoe is a robust tool to assess the instantaneous vertical forces and plantar pressures exerted during gait over a great number of steps.

## Abstract Festination and freezing of gait (FOG) are sudden episodic inabilities to initiate or sustain locomotion mostly experienced during the later stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) or other higher‐level gait disorders. The aim of this study was to develop a clinical rating instrument for sho
