Force-Sensitive Devices Embed Higher Standards for Physical Therapy Treatment

Designing Devices with FlexiForce Touch Sensors to Help Improve Safety and Consistency of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitative Practices.

Designing Devices with FlexiForce Touch Sensors to Help Improve Safety and Consistency of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitative Practices.

The Path to Recovery Starts with Consistent, Safe Force Application

While a patient with brochitis may be prescribed an antibiotic, or a patient with the flu may be prescribed rest and fluids, patients suffering from a physical injury or condition take a more open-ended treatment approach. Given the significant role force feedback has in physical therapy, one clear way to improve the effectiveness of these practices is through the development of smart, force-sensitive devices to capture and control force applied to the patient.

As a minimally-invasive, lower-power force sensor, FlexiForce™ touch sensors are the ideal technology for embedding into devices to assist therapists. This free eBook will explain the technology behind FlexiForce touch sensors, and how they have been used in physical therapy and rehabilitative processes.
