FootMat Software for Researchers

Pressure Mapping, Force Measurement & Tactile Sensors

What is FootMat Software for Researchers?

FootMat™ Software for Researchers uses Tekscan's pressure measurement platforms to collect accurate and reliable pressure data for analyzing foot function and gait. Perform a complete foot analysis by capturing static pressure data or dynamic pressure data of multiple steps for gait assessments.


Calibrate the platforms specifically to meet your needs, there is no need to send the system back to the factory for calibration Pressure measurement platform is used by leading researchers around the world Focused software for foot function and gait analysis	Data export capabilities for a more detailed analysis include Excel, ASCII, MATLAB Evaluate data in frame by frame, single or multi-stance phase modes	Synchronize with external systems, like motion capture, EMG and force plates for a more complete picture Remote triggering option allows you to synchronize the start and stop of data collection with Tekscan and other gait lab systems	3-box analysis: Segment the foot into three regions for deeper analysis Peak pressure analysis: Identifies and quantifies peak pressures

FootMat Software for Researchers Applications Include:

Identify plantar pressure profile asymmetries between left and right feet
Perform in-depth analysis of foot function
Review dynamic weight transfer and local pressure concentrations
Evaluate center of force (CoF) movement

Identify asymmetries during stance phase
Study peak pressures on the plantar surface
Evaluate biomechanical pivot phases of the foot (heel, ankle, forefoot)

Tekscan's Pressure Measurement Platforms

FootMat™ Software uses Tekscan’s pressure measurement platforms to collect accurate and reliable pressure data for studying foot function and gait.

The software runs on the following pressure measurement mats:

Pressure sensing mat that captures static and dynamic pressure measurement data. Easily transported for use on the field, in the lab or almost anywhere. Also in MobileMat HR version - High-resolution floor mat designed to capture plantar pressure and forces for both children and adults.
