Gait analysis measurement is a method to access and identify gait events and the measurements of dynamic and motion parameters involving the lower part of body. This significant method is widely used in sports, rehabilitation as well as the health diagnostic towards improving the quality of life. Many researchers has proposed various ways to access gait features that require specially set-up motion laboratories, highend video based-motion imaging systems, and professionals to visually observe the gait, this makes current way of accessing gait to be very costly and limited in many ways.Therefore, this research focuses on design and development of a portable shoe integrated wireless MEMS-based and recent microelectronic based foot clearance measurement system that is cheap, portable, real life and can be used by more people. The foot clearance measurement is representing the measurement of the distance between foot and ground. The clearance measured by an ultrasonic sensor. The system was tested and proven to satisfy the gait analysis requirement.
