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...

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...
