Dear Biomch-L members,
I would like to thank all of the Biomch-L subscribers who
responded to my question for information on an ambulant
measuring device for vertical ground reaction force.
Thanks!

I don't know of anything currently on the market. If I were trying to
do this, I know tekscan (http://www.tekscan.com) uses pressure
mapping sheets that could be placed in the shoe.
They have a "black box" that will turn the pressure mapped data
into a single signal which could be saved on a portable hard drive or
communicated with a remote computer via wireless technology.

We are currently working on such a system in our laboratory (we
have two papers currently "in press" on it). And you are right that
there is no current commercial system. The closest such system
is an accelerator based system (Step Activity Monitor system)
which straps to the ankle. Dr. J. Harris at Wisconsin
School of medicine has developed a system similar to what we are
developing. Cleveland Medical Devices also is in the development
stage of a system to monitor foot pressures for long lengths of
time. These pressure based systems are much more difficult to
develop that you would think. Our system will be ready in about 2
years, Cleveland's may be available shortly before that.

a fannypack that can collect data for several days.

From:Uwe Kersting
We've used the novel Pedar system quite extensively for long term
workspace investigations. Although your demands seem to be not
fulfilled by the system we actually have, I could imagine that novel
maybe offers some special software packages which might be a
way for you to go. Try http://www.novel.de.
Another company which was involved in our long term
measurements is biovision.

I have just finished a review article for physiological measurement in
ambulatory subjects. It will hopefully be published by the IOP in
Physiological Measurement in February. It covers the technology
of data logging devices not telemeterised, which can give you more
flexibility. There are systems by Vitaport and Onset which have
large storage capacities which may allow collection for 10hrs. If
you require more info I may be able to forward you a copy of the
article.
