Résumé

The method can determine physical properties of the ground stepped upon by a user wearing a footwear incorporating an accelerometer, and includes: receiving a raw signal from the accelerometer during at least one step being taken by the user on the ground; identifying, in the received raw signal, at least one characteristic signature; associating the at least one characteristic signature to physical properties of the ground; and generating a signal indicating the physical properties based on said association. The generated signal can further be used to advise a user of a risk of falling based on at least the physical properties of the ground.
