Thanks to Wasil Usmani for this writeup and his fascinating research! Contact him on LinkedIn for more details. Can your feet reveal the secret to safer, stronger fast bowling? As part of my biomechanics research into fast bowling, I used the Tekscan dynamic foot pressure system, i.e, Tekscan F-Scan...

Pressure Mapping in Sports Footwear Reseach One research study in progress at a prominent university sports medicine lab is using the F-Scan GO in-shoe gait analysis system to measure gait pressure to study new high performance shoe designs. Specifically, the researchers are testing new cleat...

Pressure Mapping for EV Design Design differences and challenges for the next generation of EVs can be quite different than existing design for internal combustion vehicles. In addition to the core battery stack assembly and design, pressure mapping system analysis is key to many different aspects...

Whether you’re designing batteries for electric vehicles, industrial systems, or consumer electronics, your goals remain the same: maximize performance, extend lifespan, and ensure safety. Achieving those goals requires understanding how pressure and temperature behave throughout the battery...

Battery formation is a pivotal stage in the manufacture of batteries, determining their performance and longevity. This process involves the initial electrochemical transformation of raw materials, shaping the battery's efficiency and stability. Through controlled charge and discharge cycles, the...

Therapeutic Force-Feedback Device Design One company was developing a small force-sensitive physical therapy device aimed at tracking a patient's recovery progress after a specific medical event. Their mission was to empower patients on their journey to recovery by providing an innovative, user...

Force Sensors for Sports / Fitness Sports and fitness devices designed with force sensors result in real-time, accurate monitoring devices that can measure both force feedback and pressure distribution. Our thin and flexible sensors allow for a non-intrusive design that can measure both small and...

Background Many rheumatologists perform joint assessments by manually exerting pressure on an area with their thumb or two index fingers to elicit a response. It is generally assumed that fingers will "blanch" at around 4 kg/cm 2 of force, which is then used as a benchmark for the physician to...

Force Feedback Glove as Rehabilitation Solution Background: Over the past few years the World Health Organization has been nearing its goal to eliminate Hansen disease1 (also known as leprosy). Since most research and efforts related to the disease have been focused on prevention and discovering a...
