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. |
