Description
Anna Davidovica and five co-authors validate sensor socks for measuring foot pressure balance in young footballers. Their 2025 study compares DAid Smart Socks with a force platform. The center of pressure guides injury prevention and rehab checks. Wearable socks promise such measures on the field, not just in labs.
Ten boys from a Latvian youth league performed standard FIFA 11+ exercises. Socks and platform recorded the pressure center at the same time. Players averaged about twelve years old. Past injuries and leg dominance were noted for each. Agreement between sock and platform is the study's core question. A passing grade would free balance testing from the lab bench.
