The quality in-shoe dynamic
pressure measuring system
The pedar system is an accurate and reliable pressure distribution measuring system for monitoring local loads between the foot and the shoe. The pedar-X offers the ultimate versatility with its multiple standard features and operating modes. The pedar-X can be tethered to a PC via a fiber optic USB cable. It can function in a mobile capacity with its built-in state of the art Bluetooth TM technology that is able to communicate with Bluetooth TM compatible pocket, notebook, or standard PCs. And, as yet another alternative, the pedar-X has a built-in flash memory storage allowing data to be collected anywhere and later downloaded to the computer.

All of these features make the pedar system extremely mobile and flexible to meet virtually all testing needs such as walking, running, climbing stairs, carrying loads, playing soccer, or even riding a bicycle. The results are therefore more relevant to real-life.

The pedar system connects to highly conforming, elastic sensor insoles that cover the whole plantar surface of the foot or sensor pads for the dorsal, medial or lateral areas of the foot. The pedar system allows multiple synchronisation options to use with EMG and video systems for gait analysis.

State of the art technology for pressure distribution measurement
pliance systems offer the state of the art technology for pressure distribution measurement between soft and curved surfaces. The systems consist of a flexible and elastic measuring mat, a multi-channel analyser, a calibration device and a software package for PC&qout;s.

As in all physical measuring systems the most important part is the sensor technology. pliance works with capacitive transducers in a matrix configuration. The elasticity of the sensor mats permits perfect comformability to 3-dimensional deformations.
The pressure transducing elements contain high-tech elastomers manufactured by novel. Restoring force, range of force, threshold, hysteresis, temperature effect, frequency response and other characteristics are determined during the manufacturing process. This makes it possible to adapt the sensor characteristic to different measuring needs. The elastic measuring mats are available in various sizes, sensor configurations and pressure ranges.
The software operates as a Windows application and contains many useful methods of data collection and scientific analysis of dynamic pressure distrubution. It also allows continuous data storage in online mode and data handling with a configurable SQL database. The expert can design the parameter configuration to specific needs and exchange data with collegues via HTML protocol.
