Flat feet and inconsistent power transfer in sports like golf can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and long-term injury risks. To address these issues, I propose a wearable pressure device that helps golfers regulate power transfer while also reducing pain for individuals with flat feet [1]. The device uses a Velostat pressure sensor and a Boron microcontroller to monitor pressure distribution and motion in real time, providing feedback to optimize stance and balance. Key challenges included ensuring accurate sensor calibration and integrating reliable wireless data transmission, which were addressed through iterative testing and software adjustments. The device was tested in scenarios involving walking, standing, and golf swings to assess pressure patterns and user comfort. Results showed improved balance awareness and reduced foot strain over repeated use [2]. This solution of ers a versatile, accessible tool that improves athletic performance and daily comfort, making it a valuable advancement in wearable sports and health technology.
