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...

Robotic Force Sensors Force sensors enhance the design of robotic applications by enabling advanced control technology. Force sensors provide a robot with haptic feedback, which allows for better overall performance. This performance includes verifying grip forces, ensuring proper balance, and...

Force Sensors for Medical Devices The thin, lightweight design of the FlexiForce™ sensor makes it the ideal force measurement solution for medical devices. The sensor provides quantitative data that enhances the tool's capabilities. This data allows surgeons and doctors to eliminate guesswork...

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...
