K-Scan™ System
joint analysis
System Features
K-Scan™ uses paper-thin pressure/force/contact area measurement sheets inserted within
joints between adjacent articulating bones. The captured interface data provides better
understanding of how the contact surface of the articulating bones are functioning,
articulating, and loading. Multiple sensor designs are available for use with various joints
including shoulder, wrist, knee, and ankle. |
|
For researchers studying joint function and loading or investigating design function of implants and prostheses,
K-Scan provides data for objective and quantified analysis of function. For those who want more than the
present limited means of obtaining biomechanical information, the K-Scan System is the key to objective
quantified measures to support treatment success because it provides more information than other imaging
or measurement systems. The software is available in several languages including Spanish, French and German. Please contact us for a complete list.
