pedar measurements at Zermatt
Marathon, Switzerland (Oct 12. 2009) |
The
Sports Research Institute, CASRI
(Prague, Czech Republic) has equipped the runner Milos
Skorpil with a pedar-x system to take part in the Zermatt
Marathon, which is a supreme alpine racing challenge
(distance of 42.2 km, upward gradient 1944m).
The main focus of the measurements during this extreme

in Yazd - Iran
(June 1. 2009) |
novel
was supporting the first international Diabetes Conference
in Yazd with an exhibition booth. The conference was hosted
by the Yazd Diabetes Centre in cooperation with the local
Diabetes Society.
More then 600 participants from the whole country as well
as invited speakers from UK, Australia and Germany were
there for 3 days. They were discussing different aspects
of Diabetes like metabolic control, pregnancy and in addition
associated complications, like foot problems. Special
workshops were offered to train the practitioners and
make them familiar with the latest news from the research
for their fields.

An article about the pliance system by Norma Johnson published
in "Horse Scene Magazine" (UK) in April 2009.

Pin Pointing Pressure
By Norma Johnson – Master Saddle Fitter
from Horse
Scene (http://www.horsescenemagazine.co.uk)
Every
rider knows that one of the most important aspects of
taking care of a horse in ridden work should be that
of a correct fi tting saddle. No horse owner should
compromise the comfort of their horse as it will not
only affect their performance, but can also cause long
term non reversible damage, and after all, to most of
us our equine friends are just an extension of our family
- I know, in my house my four legged stable friend is
higher up the food chain than my husband!... Read more

Measurements with pliance
system on 16 Judoka in South Korea (Apr 04. 2009) |
Measurements with 16 Judoka were done at the Yong In University
in South Korea, with Dr. Eui-hwan Kim, president of the
Asian Society of Sport Biomechanics.
The pliance-x system with glove
sensor was used to record the finger forces during repeated
attacks against a dummy.
Experts are loading the little finger higher than the
index finger during pulling and throwing. Regional analysis
of pressure data in combination with synchronized video
allow to assess the level of skills of the athletes.

Climbing in the Austrian Mountains with pedar
system (Apr 03. 2009) |
|
It is a common misconception about rock-climbing that
the decisive factor for success is finger-strength.
Especially with non-overhanging routes, the majority
of the climber's weight rests on his feet. To get as
much
weight as possible on footholds that are sometimes more
slim than the spine of a cd case, climbers wear specially
designed shoes, the construction of whose sole is designed
to enable the climber to concentrate all weight at the
very tip of his toes by distributing the resultant pressure
throughout the foot.
The measurements taken here can show in detail the relative
success of that distribution and the development of
pressure within the shoe in different climbing situations.
This could lead both to improved constructions and a
better understanding of the impact of prolongued climbing
on the climber's feet.

in Austria.
The pedar system was used to do
an assessment of the load distrubution underneath the
feet in a race like situation. The results can be used
for an optimization of the athletes performance

novel
participated for the fifth time in the Arab Health Conference
(Feb 09. 2009) |
This
year novel
was once again present at the Arab Health Conference
and medical trade show in Dubai, the most important
medical conference in the Middle East.
Visitors
from more than 25 different countries came to see the
novel
systems and to discuss the applications in daily clinical
routine, mainly for the prevention of the Diabetic Foot
Syndrome, which is sadly a condition that affects more
than 20% of the citizens of some of the Middle East
countries.
The
novel systems could help with providing adequate foot
care for them.

|
A pedar-x system with sensor insoles
was used in a study about cross country skiing at CeBiSM
(Research Centre for Bioengineering and Motor Sciences
at the University of Brescia, Trento, Udine and
Verona).
This study was requested by the technical staff of the
Italian Federation of Cross Country Skiing and some Italian
top athletes. The aim was to evaluate the load during
pushing phase in diagonal stride, one of the techniques
of the classical style in cross country skiing. The load
exerted on the skis determines the grade of bending, and
its knowledge is important for the choice of stiffnes
of the ski and the way of waxing.
The pictures show a measurement session done at an altitude
of 3200m in the Schnalstal skiing area, close to the place
where "Oetzi the Iceman" was discovered.
