Latest news pedar systems come now with a removeable 2 Gigabite SD-Flashcard for up to 27 hours of continuous measurement.
emed-x systems now available with the ability to collect two synchronized
platforms with two high speed video cameras for the analysis of a full gait cycle.
The "Olympiastützpunkt Bayern" (Olympic Training Centre Bavaria in cooperation with Technical University Munich) uses the pedar system for the assessment of training equipment. The pictures show the optimization of slalom technique using Inline Skates.

Dynamic pressure measurement systems aren’t just for research any more. The technology optimizes outcomes by enabling practitioners to prescribe orthoses that address particular gait abnormalities and to quantify the biomechanical effects.

The abstracts, including three full paper, from the 12th biennial ESM conference on Dynamic Load Distribution in Biomechanics which took place in August 2010 in Providence, USA, were published in the Clinical Biomechanics Journal, Vol. 26, Issue 6.
The entire ESM section is available online in the July 2011 issue or in the printed journal.
novel has particpated at the iSB 2011 Congress in Brussels.
More than 1500 participants from all over the world enjoid the very well organised meeting and hundreds of excellent presentations.
The many discussions in a very friendly atmosphere make that meeting so valuable.
ISB president Julie Steel and her team did an excellent job to make that meeing outstanding. Certainly a must to go for 2013 in Brazil.

novel participated at the 12th Congress on Technical Orthopedics, taking place on May 13th-14th, 2011 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria. On the exhibition booth of novel, meetings with interested visitors and existing customers were mainly focussing on pedography and its application for orthopaedic shoemakers.
ESM 2012 – Aalborg University, Dept. of Health Science and Technology, Aalborg, Denmark
Dear Colleagues,
It is with outstanding delight to invite you all to the international Expert Scientific Meeting 2012 (ESM 2012) to be held at the Department of Health Science and Technology at Aalborg University in Northern Jutland, Denmark (www.esm2012.com). Based on the tradition of previous years, this conference is dedicated to research on dynamic load distribution in biomechanics. This meeting unites researchers from various scientific fields and sets an interdisciplinary stage for newest developments in applied and fundamental research. Topics will be ranging from load distribution under the foot to in vivo pressure distribution within joints, on seats, or handles of tools, during sport movements, data analysis techniques and data integration in advanced applications. [...] Please, read more www.esm2012.com.
emed and pedar systems are certified medical products following the MDD 93/42.
The certification is indispensible for the use of the system as a diagnsotic instrument in medicine.
Tests are performed for each series by the notified body TUEV Vienna TÜV Austria.
During the certification of the singular pedar systems the quality of their measuring function was tested. It was found that the deviation of the average pressure was lower than 2.5 % at different pressure levels. The accuracy of the sensor area was found to be higher than 99.73 %, which is essential for the calculation of the correct force values, loading the sensor insole.
novel has presented at the exhibition accompanying the congress "Ortopedteknik 2011". Experts from the orthotic and prosthetic field in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries met in the Gothenburg Conevention Centre from 31 March to 2 April, 2011 www.ortopedteknik2011.se/
Pes Sem Dor is the biggest novel.de customer in Brazil.
Pes Sem Dor supplies comfort shoes and shoe inserts to customers in many Brazilan cities such as Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Piracicaba, Sao Luiz and many others.
Pes Sem Dor uses the latest emed pedography systems and intelligent expert software from novel.de to monitor and analyze dynamic footprints and produce shoe inserts with CAD/CAM Systems from pedcad.
novel is very happy to announce that the next Expert Scientific Meeting (ESM) on dynamic load distribution of the human body, animals and technical contact surfaces will take place in Aalborg, Denmark. The congress will be hosted by
Uwe Kersting and colleagues at Aalborg University and Aarhus University Hospital.
The meeting will be held from August 1st until August 4th, 2012 and will combine two days of scientific presentations on August 2nd and 4th, educational courses and workshops on August 1st and the networking day on August 3rd.
We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones in Aalborg
in August 2012.
... so we decided to perform a “ long-term measurement marathon”! The platform systems worked very well, we always had access to electricity supply, and the premises were simply arranged to fit ;-)
I have to say that this trip impressed me so much. Despite the terrible conditions under which most people live there, they have always had a friendly smile and kind words for us. Everyone was so grateful for the work we were doing, and we were made to feel welcome everywhere. It was amazing to see how poor these people are. And then there was the scenery: the landscape of this country does take your breath away... the red soil clashes with the deep lush green everywhere, from bananas to vanilla, everything was ready to be picked from the plant.
I then spent the weekend at the Lagoon Resort on Lake Victoria - what a dream!
Our team was made from participants from all parts of the world, so heterogeneous that in the beginning we weren’t so sure that we would be able to get along smoothly. However, these doubts were soon wiped away within minutes after getting together.
The measurement technique, which provided us with lots of pressure data, survived the challenges without problems. All the data is now awaiting the final review in my living room. Team member Dr. Kerstin Bosch, responsible for the pedography foot analysis
"Nur" 11 Tage"
Wir haben daher einen Dauermessmarathon durchgeführt. Die Messplatten haben hervorragend funktioniert; es war immer eine Stromversorgung gewährleistet und die Räumlichkeiten haben wir passend gemacht ;-)
Ich muss sagen, diese Reise war unglaublich beeindruckend. Trotz der schlimmen Bedingungen, unter denen die meisten Menschen dort leben, haben sie immer ein freundliches Lächeln und liebe Worte für uns gehabt. Die Menschen waren unglaublich dankbar für unsere Arbeit; wir waren überall herzlich willkommen. Es war unglaublich zu sehen, wie arm diese Menschen sind. Dazu der Kontrast der atemberaubenden Landschaft ... diese rote Erde und das satte Grün überall. Von Banane bis Vanille, alles greifbar vom Baum/Strauch oder was auch immer.
Das Wochenende habe ich im Lagoon Resort am Viktoriasee verbracht - ein Traum! Wir waren ein perfektes Team vor Ort. So bunt durcheinander gewürfelt aus aller Welt war das vorher gar nicht so sicher, ob wir gut harmonieren, aber das war nach den ersten Minuten klar.
Mit reichlich Druckmessdaten im Gepäck hat die Messtechnik alles gut überstanden und wartet nun in meinem Wohnzimmer auf die letzte Durchsicht. Team member Dr. Kerstin Bosch, responsible for the pedography foot analysis
