Influence of Externally Applied Moments and Loads on Knee Kinematics: A Cadaveric Study of Single- and Multi-Axis Loading of the Knee
… under 65 loading conditions with and without Tekscan digital pressure sensors inserted between the tibial plateau and the meniscus. The tests were performed on a force couple testing system (FCTS) with simulated quadriceps (300 N) and hamstrings (180 N) muscle loads along with a joint …

Head Position Variability During Single and Dual-task Tandem Gait Concussion Testing Protocol
… tape affixed to an instrumented walkway (30 Hz, Tekscan Strideway, Tekscan Inc., South Boston, MA). Each participant completed 3 randomized trials of 2 different head positions, cervical neutral (CN) and cervical flexion (CF). The time to complete and center of pressure (COP), filtered using …

Comparing pressure measurement systems and a force platform as tools for equine gait analysis
… pressures. Previous testing of the F-Mat system (Tekscan, Boston, MA) showed accurate calibration was extremely important for optimum performance and that standard sensor manufacturing caused sensors to saturate under the loads of horses therefore not providing accurate and reliable data. However, …

An investigation into the importance of off-horse exercise on riding position of horse riders
… video analysis were used for analysis and the TekScan pressure mat recorded pressure distribution. Aerobic capacity was found to have no impact on riding position in this study and hip flexibility was assumed to have the greatest impact on riding position. After the intervention, the range of …

The influence of body position and user characteristics on peak skin pressure in elite wheelchair racers
… portion of the lower legs was measured using a Tekscan Conformat pressure mat system while athletes were sitting in their racing chair motionless (static condition) and propelling on a dynamometer at approximately 15 mph. During static conditions the mean of the average peak pressure values was …

Sand Deformation Mechanisms and Earth Pressures Mobilised with Retaining Wall Movements
… and analysed by Particle Image Velocimetry and a Tekscan pressure mapping system, respectively. Simplified deformation mechanisms compatible with active wall movements and a simplified calculation method for the peak maximum shear strain caused by passive wall movements have been proposed based on …

Įtvarų poveikis pusiausvyrai ir mobilumui esant apatinių galūnių parezei /
… assessed additionally applying balance platform (Tekscan-MatsCan system) without splints and with knee splint. Data analysis: the Shapiro–Wilk test was applied to validate normality of data distribution. Student’s criterion was used to compare mean values and Wilcoxon’s criterion was applied to …

Integral bridge abutment and backfill behaviour
… gauges to capture abutment bending moments, a Tekscan sensor measuring lateral earth pressures, and a camera to track soil and structural movements. A total of seven tests were carried out with alterations made to the thermal loading, abutment stiffness, backfill density, and backfill …

Objective gait analysis in humboldt penguins (spheniscus humboldti) and domestic ducks (cairina moschata domestica) using a pressure sensitive walkway
Lameness due to osteoarthritis and/or pododermatitis is one of the most common problems encountered with aquatic birds such as ducks and penguins under professional care. Successful treatment and management is variable and often incomplete or transient. There is a lack of a validated objective tool …
