loadsol®: truly mobile in-shoe force measurement
loadsol® sensors enable mobile measurement of the normal ground reaction force on the plantar surface of the foot. The system can be used both for static and dynamic measurements, to accurately quantify the forces generated between the foot and the shoe.
The occurring forces provide important information concerning the kinetics of the body or element to be measured.
The textile, soft, deformable and ultra-thin sensors are designed to enable accurate assessment of gait analysis, load analysis or maximum force analysis in any environment and during any body movement, to name some applications.
Use loadsol® to capture the interaction between foot and ground accurately, effortlessly and with flexibility.
How to utilize loadsol and loadsol pro
loadsol® sensors are used by many research and development facilities all over the world. Due to the flexible usability, the applications are very diverse.
loadapp: Data collection and analysis
loadapp is an easy to use smartphone application that helps to collect the data you are looking for. After connecting the insoles via bluetooth, the measurement can be set up and the data can be viewed in real-time or stored on the sensors.
After the measurement the data can be downloaded from the sensors via bluetooth or via USB. The application, if required, allows for extensive display and evaluation of various parameters.
loadsol types
There are several different types of loadsol:
loasol®, loadsol pro and loadsol embd
Depending on your requirements there are 3 types of loadsol.
- The medical grade loadsol optimized for reliable force measurement
- The loadsol pro for extreme applications and cross-application measurements
- The loadsol embd for research and development of systems that require force input for control and monitoring.
All loadsol systems utilize the same state of the art capacitive measurement technology.
Measuring the load distribution inside the shoe.
For more than 44 years, novel has been pioneering in the field of load distribution measurement. With loadsol, precise and accurate measurement inside the shoe is now possible for the first time for truly mobile applications.
The matchbox-sized electronics and the completely textile sensor enable measurements indoors and outdoors, in almost any environment and at virtually any movement.
loadsol® pro key features:
- record forces accurately and reliably according to novel’s high quality standards
- stream or collect data fully autonomously utilizing the integrated memory
- collect data remotely via cloud or your own network servers in realtime
- synchronize via TTL with lab equipment or system with loadsync
- measure comfortably inside the shoe with a 100 % textile, thin, conformable sensor
- Simultaneously create a video of your measurement to compare video and force data
loadsol® features:
- display bipedal force over time on mobile device
- receive biofeedback for two adjustable force levels
- output ASCII data and allows comprehensive Windows data analysis
- Allows long-term measurement
- capture hindfoot, midfoot and forefoot, or hindfoot and medial & lateral forefoot separately
loadsol® embd features:
- Utilize force data to control your product and to integrate/ embed the sensor into your system.
- Up to 3 signals for different sensor zones
- read the analog signal to your ADC or DAQ or data logger or any other element you want to use.
- control the measurement via the bluetooth connection and loadapp or a predefined timed measurement procedure
loadsol sensor zones
There are several different options for sensor zones in all loadsol:
Available sensor zone layouts:
All loadsol are available in 4 different layouts. The more sensor zones, the more detailed you can analyze the force and load distribution. Select
- Version “- t” (total area) for applications where you are only interested in the total static and dynamic force (e.g. partial loading after surgery)
- Version “- ap” (anterior posterior) for applications where the static and dynamic changes of force and loaddistribution between fore-foot and heel are of interest (e.g. running)
- Version “- acp” (anterior, central, posterior) where the force movement from heel to forefoot need to be analyzed in detail (e.g. achillees research)
- Version “- mlp” (medial, lateral, posterior) where the shift of load and force in all directions is of interest (e.g. in golf).
Available options:
loadsol® and loadsol® pro are available with different options and functionalities. Describe your application to us and we will be happy to help you choose the perfect system.
