Abstract: A footpad monitor to detect the amount of force translated through a patient's heel in each gait cycle is described. The footpad monitor has a tactile force sensor (22), a linearized bridge (20) for translating a force applied to the sensor (22) to a voltage, a comparator circuit (30) and an annunciator (40). The comparator (30), which can be analog or microprocessor controlled, has a set point and an amplifier (39) that is activated when the voltage from the sensor (22) exceeds the set point. The annunciator (40) is driven by the amplifier (39) to warn the patient that excessive force is being translated through the heel. In the analog embodiment, the reference voltage can be varied by adjusting linearly variable pots (35, 36). Also described is a remote unit to set the set point limit in the microprocessor controlled embodiment.

Abstract: A device for converting the force exerted upon a support into an electrical signal, intended in particular for a leg pressure exercising apparatus, is provided with a bearing column, a bending bar which is supported freely, but non-rotationally, in the bearing column, and which is provided with at least two strain gauges which are staggered relative to each other in the peripheral direction, and a bracket which is mounted rotatably on the bending bar, and on which the support is fixed. Measures are taken by means of which the bending of the bending bar as a result of force exerted by the feet on the support can be detected both where the support can rotate about the bending bar and where the support is fixed to prevent rotation about the bending bar.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for assessing and biofeedback training of movement coordination, strength, and speed skills critical to balance during a mobility task performed by a subject on a combination of surfaces, in particular stepping up and down, climbing and descending stairs, sitting and rising from a sitting position. The apparatus includes a force-sensing plate (12). The force-sensing plate (12) measures the forces exerted on its sensing area, i.e., its top surface, and transmits output signals representative of the measured forces. A plurality of support surfaces (11) is mounted in specified positions relative to the force-sensing plate's (12) sensing area, in such a way that substantially all forces exerted by the subject onto the support surfaces are transmitted to the sensing area. The plurality of surfaces (11) may form a step, stairs or seat. A data processor (14) accepts the output signals from the force-sensing plate (12) and calculates quantities related to the positions and magnitudes of forces exerted by the subject on the support surfaces (11). In order to permit biofeedback training, means (13) for displaying position and magnitude quantities calculated by the computational means and for displaying additional quantities related to performance goals is provided so that the subject can see these quantities while performing the mobility task.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for measuring the dimensions of a three-dimensional surface structure, in particular folds in the human skin (9). The device has a transparent support plate (2) designed to hold initially liquid silicone material (3) to produce a silicone impression of the surface being examined. The device also has an analysis unit for analysing the surface structure of the impression. The invention calls for the support plate (2) to have a measurement zone (4) held at a given distance from the surface under examination (9), for the silicone material (3) which is introduced into the measurement zone to be uniformly coloured and for the support plate (2) to have at least one drainage channel (10) leading away from the measurement zone (4) for excess silicone material (3). Analysis of the silicone impression is carried out by determining the light absorbtion of the impression from light-intensity measurements.
