title: [Electronical podometry: EMD system].
abstract: The loads supported by the feet can be appreciated by the analysis of footprints. X-rays of the feet in weight-bearing complete the static analysis of the foot. The footprints and X-rays of the feet allow to obtain a static assessment of the loads applied on the foot. With the evolution of the technology, the EMED system for measuring dynamic foot pressures is appeared. The EMED system with the different clinical applications is described.
