Physical Therapy, Sports and Exercise Industry

Sensing Systems designs and manufactures sensors used in Physical Therapy, Exercise and Sports equipment.  Our force and torque sensors are incorporated into PT machines to monitor and/or control the level of effort exerted by the patient.  They are also used in Sports and Exercise apparatus to measure and track athletes’ performance.    

Our sensors may be incorporated into a machine, exercise equipment or sports apparatus during the design process.  Alternatively, an existing machine part may be converted into a force or torque sensor.  Both approaches have proven very successful. 

Applications include, among others, monitoring performance of professional athletes, monitoring bicyclists’ horsepower output and assisting stroke victims in regaining and improving their balance.

Specific examples include:

  • Torque Sensors to monitor Level of Effort for Leg/Arm Physical Therapy
  • Balance / Equilibrium Platforms
  • Load Sensors for Weight Machines
  • Ergometers for Stationary Bicycles
  • Bi-axial and Tri-axial Force Sensors to Monitor and Control Patient Position and Balance

Sensing Systems provides and supports all facets of the manufacturing process from design and prototype to production.  The following links provide additional information about our sensors and capabilities:

Delivery

Delivery of new prototypes typically occurs two to three weeks from initial discussion of the application.  Faster deliveries of one week or less are possible for fast track projects with production following shortly after acceptance of prototype performance.  For established products, pre-scheduled deliveries throughout the year are typical.

Services

Sensing Systems performs a wide variety of services in-house and at our customers’ facilities including all of the following:

All of these services find applications in the Physical Therapy, Sports and Exercise Industry.
