Grasp & Touch Assessment with FingerTPS
|
| |
|
The foundation of human touch lies at our fingertips and hands. At PPS, we know that proper instrumentation of this location is critical. Our solution is our FingerTPS (Tactile Pressure Sensors). FingerTPS features conformable materials pre-shaped and sized to give a perfect fit. Plus, they have a sensitivity to capture the lightest touch. Sensors are available in multiple shapes and sizes to instrument the palm, finger tips, and inner phalanges.

Body Fit Assessment
|
| |
| |
|
For general body fit and orthotics applications, you need a flexible sensor that doesn't interfere with body motion. Our light, conformable sensors can fit almost any area of the body while remaining sensitive for light contact. They can even be made stretchable to support large movements or more complex surfaces.
