Pregnant Women Shoes Design Based on Ergonomics and Mechanics

Abstract:

The features of the pregnant woman's shoes design were analyzed based on ergonomics. Firstly, according to the group of pregnant woman foot's characteristics, three-dimensional foot-measuring instrument was used to measure the foot, the data of pregnant woman’s foot were collected and analyzed, the data of foot in designing of shoes were determined. Secondly, shoes market of pregnant woman were surveyed and analyzed to contrast between China and foreign status of pregnant woman shoes, to find the problems of pregnant woman's shoe design and to bring forward improvements. Finally, the sample of pregnant woman's shoes were designed and made, through the wearing tests of pregnant woman's shoes to attain the best scheme for pregnant woman, and build a set of system for evaluating comfort of pregnant woman’s shoes was built.
