Foot Plate Sensor System
The different Tactilus® foot plate analysis systems provides podiatrists, orthopedists, prosthetic designers and shoe manufacturers an efficient
and accurate way to assess gait analysis, foot pressure points and athletic plantar impacts during standing, walking, running, skiing and skating.
Real-time pressure profiling provided by Tactilus® enables precise and immediate evaluations of conditions related to the diabetic foot, analysis
of the weight bearing capability and conformability of orthotic and prosthetic devices, and assess molt of impact effects from various bipedal
locomotion activities of both feet, either exclusive of each other or in relation to each other all in ultra high speeds.
How Tactilus® Works
The Tactilus® sensor collects pressure data and sends it as an analog signal back to an intermediary data "hub", where
it is converted to a digital signal. The digital signal containing the collected data is then sent to an interface (software) designed for easy viewing
and Real-time analysis capabilities.
Tactilus® software provides 2 and 3 dimensional images, isobar and pinpoint region-of-interest image viewing, impulse contact time, shear forced indication, statistical analysis of average / minimum / maximum pressures, total force over any selected area, pressure vs. time and more. The data collected by Tactilus® can easily be exported for further analysis in many third party softwares.
