Intended use

The target user group for the systems is not made up of end users, but of specialist groups (engineers, orthopaedic (shoe) technicians, biomechanics specialists, etc.) from the various sectors:

  • Orthopaedic (shoe) technology
  • Sports biomechanics
  • Automotive industry
  • Mattress industry
  • Seating industry

The user of the GeBioM pressure distribution measuring systems is always given an intensive introduction when the systems are delivered, usually even on site. This includes basic handling of the systems, exclusion criteria for certain measurement situations (e.g. do not use sharp objects, etc.) and an introduction to the evaluation options of the respective system. The specialist knowledge required to analyse the results can be assumed. The devices cannot be used contrary to their intended purpose according to normal judgement. The measures taken by the user based on the respective measurement results are always subject to his personal expertise and philosophy. 

The systems are designed in such a way that the respective test person (in industry usually employees of the respective department, in sales counselling the customer, in orthopaedic (shoe) technology the customer/patient) is not significantly influenced by sitting on or walking on the measurement sensors. Where necessary, the measurement technology is also applied to the test subject by the professional user. Otherwise, the test person simply walks over the measuring field, lies on it or wears the measuring foils in their shoes.

Important:
Care must be taken to ensure that the measuring foils or sensors are not exposed to sharp objects. This could lead to sensor failure.

GP MultiSens

The platform measures 550 mm x 455 mm and is 4 mm high. There is a measuring surface of approx. 390 mm x 390 mm on the top. This surface contains 2304 resistance sensors, i.e. approx. 2 sensors per cm². These sensors are scanned by an internal USB measuring interface with a total sampling rate of approx. 500 kHz, i.e. approx. 100 Hz per sensor. Data is transmitted either via a data cable connected to the computer's USB interface or via Bluetooth. The power supply is realised via an external 12V power supply unit, the Bluetooth pressure measuring plates also have a rechargeable battery.

Note:
Until the end of 2006, only the USB 1.1 standard applied. From 2007 the USB 2.0 standard applies !!!

GP MobilData Logger (no longer manufactured)

The data from the sensors is stored on a memory card using a data logger that is easy to operate via the display. This means that your customer can move around freely and you do not need a computer for the measurement process. The flexible measuring soles have 40 to 64 sensors per sole, depending on the size. The maximum measuring frequency is 250 Hz, so that sporting movements can be recorded with a high degree of accuracy. The sole layout can be customised and special designs are possible for special applications such as stump, Charcot or sickle foot. The soles are repairable and can be calibrated again and again, guaranteeing a long service life.

GP MobilData - Radio or Bluetooth

The data from the sensors is sent directly to the PC using a radio transceiver and stored there, allowing your customer to move around freely. The flexible measuring soles have 40 to 64 sensors per sole, depending on the size. The glove and arm measuring systems each have 32 sensors. The maximum measuring frequency is 200 Hz and the resolution of the measured values is 12 bit, so that sporting movements can be recorded with a high degree of accuracy. The range of the radio link varies between 15 metres inside buildings and around 100 metres in open spaces. The measuring surfaces of the systems can be customised and special designs for special applications such as stump, Charcot or sickle foot are possible. The measuring surfaces are repairable and can be calibrated again and again, guaranteeing a long service life.

General information

With the GP MobilData wireless or BlueTooth (USB 2.0 interface) and GP MobilData Logger pressure measurement systems, you can record the plantar pressure load in the shoe, while with the GP MultiSens pressure measurement platform you can record the plantar pressure load when walking barefoot.
