1. A footpad, comprising:
a concave upper face and a planar lower face, the lower face opposite of the upper face and configured to be coupled to a pressure sensing device;
a central region of the footpad forming a planar section of the lower face configured to be positioned directly above the pressure sensing device;
a curved outer edge; and
a set of side edges perpendicular to the outer edge, the outer edge and set of side edges forming an outer perimeter of the footpad and wherein the outer perimeter is thicker than the central region of the footpad, wherein an inner edge of the footpad, arranged opposite of the outer edge, is straight and thinner than the outer perimeter, and wherein a flap coupled to the inner edge that is thinner than the inner edge extends away from the inner edge and along the inner edge, from one of the set of side edges to the other of the set of side edges.
