About
Dr. M.A. Razian is a pioneering figure in biomechanical instrumentation, best known for advancing the measurement of foot-ground interactions during gait. His key research areas include plantar pressure analysis, shear force measurement, and the development of novel sensor technologies for clinical and rehabilitation applications. Dr. Razian’s most notable contribution is the design and development of an in-shoe triaxial pressure measurement transducer, which uses a single element of piezoelectric copolymer film to simultaneously capture both vertical and shear forces beneath the foot. This work, published in 2003 and cited over 97 times, addressed a critical gap in gait analysis, where traditional systems could only measure vertical pressure. By enabling the simultaneous assessment of multi-directional forces, his innovation has significantly improved the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of pathological foot disorders, such as diabetic neuropathy and post-surgical rehabilitation. Dr. Razian’s transducer remains a foundational reference for researchers developing wearable, high-fidelity biomechanical sensors, and his work continues to influence the design of smart footwear and clinical gait labs worldwide.
