Clinical gait analysis on a walkway with force measurement and real-time force vector overlay
The TEMPLO Video Vector Lab is a leading tool for quick and easy assessment of real-time force vectors in patients suffering from a variety of gait disorders. This laboratory gait analysis system is especially beneficial to those working in the Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) field, as it enables them to quickly determine whether a specific intervention is having its desired impact on the patient's gait. The software interface was designed with significant input from clinicians who practice on a daily basis - and includes specific protocols for quick tagging of different parameters for each capture performed (easily find a pre-orthotic capture to compare with a post-orthotic capture). The system can also be integrated with a wireless EMG in addition to the force platform."

- novel (DE) "novel has developed several system families tailored to specific applications: emed, pedar, pliance and manugraphy. ■emed system utilizes a sensor platform for barefoot load distribution measurements. emed® platforms are accurate electronic systems for recording and evaluating pressure distribution under the foot in static and dynamic condition. ■pedar system specializes in in-shoe measurements to evaluate the local load between foot and shoe. ■pliance system assesses load distribution on soft and 3-D deformed surfaces. ■manugraphy system offers a key advantage over the conventional systems: It is able to determine the force of each single finger and even the phalanges."
- Orpyx Medical Technologies (CA) "Orpyx came into existence to help address a huge problem that medicine and surgery face on a daily basis — the problem of diabetes and complications of diabetes. Many of these problems stem from one of the main complications of diabetes, "peripheral neuropathy" (or, numb feet). Without feedback, people are unaware when damage is being done and complications develop. In Canada and the US, 7% of people are diagnosed with diabetes; half of all diabetics develop peripheral neuropathy. We often wait until complications develop before anything is (or can be) done. Orpyx was born out of trying to find a preventative (not reactionary) solution to this problem."
- RSscan International (BE) - Solutions for plantar pressure measurement and analysis "RSscan International provides professional yet affordable solutions for accurate dynamic pressure measurements for biomechanical research labs, clinics, sports and leisure footwear shops and many more applications.
