K-Scan joint analysis system

The K-Scan Joint Analysis System utilizes paper-thin sensors to provide accurate data for objective, quantified analysis of joint function.

It measures pressure, force, and contact area between adjacent articulating bones to provide a better understanding of how they are functioning, articulating, and loading.

Make/model Tekscan K-Scan.
Details Tool to measure how the contact surfaces of articulating bones are functioning and loading for objective joint analysis.
Facility Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Facility (MSKBRF)
School School of Engineering

Multiple sensor designs allow for various types of joint analysis, such as shoulder, wrist, knee, ankle, and more. Scanning speed of up to 100 Hz.
