0It is a multifunctional platform for measuring the force density distribution. The Zebris FDM-S platform consists of individually calibrated capacitive force sensors enabling the analysis of the density distribution of static and dynamic forces arising under the feet while standing and walking. It enables computer diagnostics of feet and loads in static (standing, sitting, etc.) and dynamic conditions. Measurements can be made by examining the effects of wearing shoes on gait or posture. The dynamic module of the software enables the analysis of the distribution of the foot pressure forces on the ground during the passage through the platform.
Examples of the Zebris FDM-S platform applications:
- assessment of the ability to maintain balance based on stabilographic tests,
- assessment of the symmetry of loading the feet while standing freely,
- assessment of load distribution on individual foot segments,
- assessment of the ground reaction forces while walking,
- assessment of the ground reaction forces during various exercises, e.g. squats, sitting down and getting up from a chair, etc.
We carry out our tests according to the client individual instructions. We’re open to determine the course of research for non-standard requirements.
