The zebris Technology

zebris Medical GmbH understands itself as a supplier of complete solutions for a wide range of measuring tasks and indications in the field of biomechanics. The three key technologies mainly applied here are 3D ultrasonic movement analysis, force-distribution measurement and myography. Simple handling, high mobility and flexibility are the main characteristics of our measuring systems. All the measuring results are displayed in real time on the PC whereby the synchronized presentation of all the signal sources is possible, of course.

3D real-time movement analysis
For the 3D movement analysis or localization, systems have been developed that enable a precise tracking of the measuring markers. The measuring principle is based on measuring the travel time of ultrasound pulses. The system is fast and unproblematic in its application, without requiring any calibrating or adjusting at all. The zebris® System is ideal for application in routine operation - also as a mobile measuring station. Application auxiliaries have been developed for the various different measuring tasks. A probe-tip is available for determining surface profiles. In addition, all the movement data can be recorded and analyzed synchronously with the video recordings.

Force-distribution measurement
zebris is leading in the development of capacitive sensor equipment for measuring pressure and/or force distribution. The characteristic features of the zebris measuring systems for force distribution are its user friendliness and simple operation, high measuring precision due to its calibrated sensors and the particularly large sensor surfaces which also enable step cycles
to be recorded.

Myography
The EMG Systems developed by zebris form an ideal supplementation to the movement analysis and force-distribution measurement. The EMG activity of small and large muscles can be detected precisely and reliably. All the potential of muscular action can be recorded and evaluated synchronously to the movement data of other zebris measuring systems.
