Founded in 1987, Tekscan is the world’s leading provider of advanced high-resolution, thin-film tactile pressure measurement systems. Tekscan’s F-Scan® System captures dynamic in-shoe pressure and force information and reveals interaction between foot, orthotics and/or footwear.

F-Scan®

Unlike traditional visual observation of foot function and gait, F-Scan quantifies force, contact pressure distribution, and timing. The system includes sensors, scanning electronics, and software as well as a protocol for analysis, diagnosis, and confirmation of the effectiveness of interventions.

The F-Scan captures foot plantar tactile contact time and force, and displays a selection of calculated data for analysis including:

• Pressure maps (image profiles) of pressure distribution on plantar surface.
• Pressures and Forces during gait displayed in Time graphs.
• Position and Trajectories for Center of Force (CoF) during stance phases of gait.
• Force and Pressure time Integrals (impulse).

When timing, trajectory and/or symmetry in foot function, gait and/or posture is off, torque is generated, and stress is transmitted along and within the tendons and muscles, ligaments and bones. Torque and stress are mechanical components that for which continuous over-time, wear and tear body tissues.
