  • HEEL STRIKE or CENTER OF PRESSURE/POSITION LOCATION

    Dear all,

    We are in search of a device to determine the location (plus/minus ~2cm) of
    a
    heel strike (or center of pressure/position) during gait analysis, in
    real time. No quantitative pressure, force, or moment readings are
    necessary. Does anyone have such a device or know of where to obtain
    one?

    BACKGROUND:
    Our motion analysis laboratory studies motion characteristics in
    walking. We currently have two force plates embedded in the floor and
    are looking to obtain the position (heel strike or center of
    pressure/position) of a third foot step.

    AIM:
    To locate the position of a heel strike (or center of pressure/position)
    in real time of a walking trial.

    SPECIFICATION:
    1) Real-time data
    2) Resolution: plus/minus ~2cm
    3) Size: ~40cm by 60cm ? one single foot step


    Thank You,
