Abstract
Padmapada is a compliance monitoring brace for clubfoot deformity used to provide corrective forces to the manipulated foot. The brace provides freedom to move the lower limbs of the child keeping the foot in the desired plantarflex position. The sensors placed in the brace insole detect the presence of the foot and acquires data periodically. The downloaded data is also stored for future use on the computer which can be accessed by the doctor for comparative analysis and to monitor progress during the course of the treatment.
