In-sole portable force and pressure systems

[Karen Hambly]

Dear Colleagues

I am putting together a proposal for London Metropolitan University and I am
currently researching the different mobile in-sole force and pressure
measurement systems that are available. The system will be used
predominantly in sports environments so the portability and mobility is
important. I have seen the Tekscan F-Scan in 'action' but no other systems
to date. If anyone has experience of either the F-Scan or other systems I
would be grateful if you could let me know the following:

1. What other portable in-sole systems are available?
2. Any indication of the time needed to learn and familiarise oneself with
the system?
3. Which system is the best value for money at present in terms of initial
set up but also on-going running costs for consumables.
4. Any other advice much appreciated!

Thanks for your help.

Regards
