(2) in the middle stage of the supporting state, as the gravity center of the human body moves to the middle part of the sole, the pressure value of a collecting point of a calcaneus (I) part of the rear foot area of the sole starts to fall after rising to the maximum value, the pressure values of a cuneiform bone (II) part of the foot sole middle area, the tail end (V) of a thumb phalanx of the forefoot area, the tail end (III) of a little toe bone of the forefoot area and the front end (IV) of the thumb phalanx of the forefoot area start to rise, and when the gravity center of the human body moves to the center position of the sole, the pressure value of the cuneiform bone (II) part of the foot sole middle area reaches the peak value.
(3) In the final stage of the supporting state, as the gravity center of the human body continuously moves forwards from the center position of the sole, the pressure value of the position of the wedge-shaped bone (II) in the foot sole middle area continuously drops from the peak value, the pressure value of the position of the wedge-shaped bone (II) in the foot sole middle area becomes an initial value (close to 0), the pressure values of the positions of the phalanges of the big toe (V), the little toe bone (III) and the big toe (IV) in the foot front area continuously increase, when the gravity center moves to the front sole position, the heel is lifted off, and the pressure values of the positions of the phalanges of the big toe (V), the little toe (III) and the big toe (IV) in the foot sole front area sequentially reach the peak values.

wherein, the fifth threshold value is larger than the fourth threshold value, the third threshold value is larger than the second threshold value, and the first threshold value is larger than the third threshold value; for example, for adult males (170-185 cm, 60-90 kg in height), the fifth, fourth, third, second and first thresholds may be 250, 150, 125, 75 and 50N, respectively.
In a preferred embodiment, the pressure collection insole 2 is a PCB pressure collection insole which is soft and can withstand deformation of a human body during walking.
In the invention, besides the problem of long endurance of the human gait monitoring insole is solved by the low-power monitoring mode of the wireless radio frequency module, the MCU and the wireless radio frequency module can be set in a sleep mode, so that the power consumption is reduced, and the endurance is prolonged. Specifically, the MCU is powered on and then initializes the wireless radio frequency module, the MCU and the wireless radio frequency module both enter a sleep mode, the wireless radio frequency module is set to enter a receiving mode from the sleep mode every B milliseconds, the duration of the receiving mode is 2A milliseconds, and the sleep mode is resumed if an upper computer starting instruction is not received; if a starting instruction is received, a signal is sent to the MCU to enable the MCU to recover to a working mode, the AD module is started, the wireless radio frequency module also recovers to the working mode, and a digital voltage signal is sent to the upper computer at regular time.
In a preferred embodiment, in the working mode, if the signal collected by the AD module is continuously lower than the minimum pressure threshold value within a set time, the MCU and the radio frequency module re-enter the sleep mode until being awakened again to enter the working mode, thereby achieving the ultra-low power operation.
