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...

Background In high-throughput processing – such as in bottling and food packaging industries – there are several twists, turns and other impacts a product encounters on its way to completion. Quality control personnel take precautions to make sure their systems are running as smoothly as possible...

Background As motorbike riders control the majority of a bike's functions with their hands (steering, adjusting the throttle, and using the front brake or clutch), hand dexterity performance is crucial for safe riding. Even minor changes to control inputs can cause a rider to lose control of their...

Background Following leg injuries and surgeries, it is critical for patients to reduce weight-bearing activity on their recovering leg and to gradually increase the weight they put on that leg over time. Taking these precautions helps bones and tissue heal correctly. Physiotherapists often help...

[Tekscan's] work is spectacular, and more exceptional than I thought it would be. The sensors work great. They can detect the slightest pressure accurately. It is way beyond my expectations.

We had already used the standard flexible sensor in other jobs and product trials in the past, so we were familiar with its large dynamic range and excellent linearity and accuracy. But the instrument design needed a much smaller sensing area than the standard sensor provides. Turnaround on the
