A closer look

The right system
starts with a question.

Pressure mapping or force measurement?

Pressure mapping shows how loading is distributed across a contact surface. Force measurement records the load in a defined area. Choose the quantity that answers your research or development question.

pedar maps pressure distribution inside footwear. loadsol measures normal force under the foot inside the shoe. Both help you investigate loading during movement.

loadglove is a wireless force measurement system for selected areas of the palm and fingertips. It supports research in ergonomics, biomechanics and human–robot interaction.
