Tekscan, Inc.

South Boston, MA, USA

Tekscan, Inc, Boston, MA, USA, provides unique pressure and force sensing systems to screen

the diabetic foot, identify potential plantar foot ulceration areas, and assess foot problems, gait,

and posture related disorders. The foot systems also allow evaluating desired expected

outcomes and treatments, including insoles, orthotics, shoes, physical therapy and surgery.

There are several systems available, each with unique features and treatment application.

The in-shoe F-Scan(R) and F-Scan Mobile(R) provide bipedal plantar pressures and force

during gait or stance by placing thin sensors inside the shoes. The F-Scan Mobile(R) is unique

by allowing data capture without the subject being connected to the computer for field studies.

The MatScan(R) is a floor platform providing barefoot plantar pressure and force during the

stance phase of gait. The HR Mat(TM) is also a floor platform, but contains a higher resolution

sensor for applications with small children, handicapped, and highly deformed feet. The

Walkway(TM) is an extended floor mat that provides measurements and analysis over several

steps.

For dental applications, the T-Scan(TM)II records and analyzes occlusal forces enabling all

cases to be finished with a balanced bite.

All systems consist of sensors, data acquisition hardware, and easy to use software.
