Interface Pressure Mapping Systems
Available:
The Novel Emed-x plantar force measurement contains a grid of calibrated capacitive sensors, with a resolution of 4 sensors / cm2, and allows frame rates of up to 400 Hz. This system, together with an extensive software ,enables patient monitoring data to be collected and foot analysis to be carried out.
The Novel pedar pressure distribution system is used to monitor local loads between the foot and the shoe and can be used tethered as well as wirelessly.
The Novel pliance system consists of a flexible and elastic measuring mat and is used to calculate pressure distribution between soft and curved surfaces. Our present application is to monitor interface pressure between the lower leg and a medical boot that we are developing for the treatment of venous ulcers.
The Tekscan K-Scan sensors are paper-thin and enable us to determine dynamic loading, pressure and contact area within the cadaveric and animal joints. The captured interface data provides better understanding of the impact of different joint geometries, pathologies, treatment and surgical methods. This information is also used to verify results of our finite element models.
