Mapping Prosthetic Foot Performance with Interface Force's 3A120 3-Axis Load Cell
In the development of prosthetic limbs, measuring accuracy and stability are essential.
In the development of prosthetic limbs, measuring accuracy and stability are essential. Informative data helps bring the products to market where they can have life-changing effects. To get there, they must be challenged. A prosthetic foot needs to remain stable under an incredible breadth of different stances. By measuring how the foot responds to different loads, manufacturers can release superior prosthetic products, gathering ongoing data to build better into the future.
Interface Force’s 3A120 3-Axis Load Cell measures minute load-bearing information to reveal prosthetic performance. Installed between the leg socket and the prosthetic foot load stream, Interface Force’s 3A120 3-Axis Load Cell gathers data that can be immediately accessed from the user’s portable data acquisition system. When connected to the prosthetic and data acquisition device, engineers and designers can assess information in real-time and gather performance data for further assessment and analysis.
