Body & Foot Pressure Offloading to Prevent Ulcers

Pressure offloading is essential in footwear, seating, and bedding to prevent pressure ulcers from forming. When skin or body tissue is subjected to sustained body pressure that is too high, it can cause localized ischemia—reduced blood flow to tissues. For people who sit or lie down for long...

An Evaluation of Center of Force Trajectories for Different High-Heeled Shoe Designs Using the Strideway System

With the ability to track center of force (CoF), Strideway was used to provide isnightful parameters to evaluate the effects of footwear.

Application and Case Studies

Fall Risk Assessment with MobileMat

In this case study, a biomechanical specialist used MobileMat to evaluate an elderly patient having trouble maintaining balance on uneven terrain. The data he gathered resulted in an effective treatment plan, reducing patient sway by nearly 50% with eyes closed.

Application and Case Studies

Ankle Joint Stability Assessment with SportsAT

This case study demonstrates why objective measures for monitoring progress is essential during rehabilitation, especially in high level functioning athletes.
