Ergonomics and Biomechanics Products

Human Modeling Software Solutions

Customer Beta testing for HumanCAD, our next generation human modeling platform is continuing. Customers and prospective customers may contact us for preliminary product information.

ManneQuinELITE V1.3 has been released and supports the University of Michigan 3D SSPP 5.0.5.
www.nexgenergo.com/ergonomics/mqelite.html

Once HumanCAD is formerly released (after completion of Beta testing), we will no longer provide support for ManneQuinPRO versions V7.0 and V7.1 and earlier. Sales of ManneQuinPRO V10.2 and ManneQuinELITE V1.3 will then be discontinued. We will, however, continue to provide support for ManneQuinPRO versions 8 through 10.2.

Xsens Products: New 5g Mti and Mtx

Xsens has released MTi and MTx versions with a unique acceleration range of ± 5g. Both the MTi (miniature Attitude and Heading Reference System) and the MTx (3DOF Orientation Tracker) are now available with this new measurement range, which provides excellent performance to many new applications.

The addition of a 5g version is a very useful extension of the Xsens product offering because there are many applications in which accelerations above 1.7g (Xsens' current standard) occur.

Mark-10 Digital Force and Torque Gauges

NexGen is pleased to announce that it is now distributing the full range of Mark-10 digital force and torque Gauges. All Mark-10 products come with a 3-year warranty.

Mark-10 force gauges can be used in a virtually limitless number of tension and compression testing applications. All force gauges are able to capture the peak force in both tension and compression and have selectable units of measurement. Capacities are available from 50 g full scale to 1,000 lb; the broadest range in the industry. Mark-10 force gauges may be handheld or used with a test stand and gripping fixtures to create a complete testing solution. All gauges carry the CE mark.

Mark-10 torque gauges are accurate and feature-rich torque measurement products ideal for a wide range of applications. All gauges capture the peak torque in both directions (CW and CCW) and have selectable units of measurement. Capacities are available from 10 ozin full scale to 5,000 lbin, depending on the model. Units may be handheld or used with a test stand and gripping fixtures to create a complete testing solution. All gauges carry the CE mark.

FSA - Pressure Mapping Solutions

This quarter the new serial wireless option for FSA systems has been released. The wireless adapter is an EIA-232 Serial DB-9 to Wireless Class 1 (100 meter) radio 2 unit pair plus battery pack.

Wireless ELF

Wireless ELF eliminates cumbersome wires by enabling your laptop or PC to quickly capture and store force data from an event up to 100 feet away. This system will offer greater flexibility for applications where untethered force measurements are important.

System Components:

Both the Hub and Transmitter are battery operated. The Hub can support data from up to 8 sensors and transmitters at a time. For a 16-channel system, two Hubs would be required.

Biometrics E-LINK

E-LINK - Evaluation

The E-LINK range of products and software for evaluation cover a variety of clinical applications from standard measurements done in almost every rehabilitation settings to comprehensive calculations done in specialized practices.

The X4 InterX Unit functions as the Intelligent Interface to connect all of the E-LINK evaluation components to the computer. Up to four E-LINK tools may be connected simultaneously allowing the user to easily and quickly switch between the components during an evaluation session. InterX connects to an IBM compatible computer via the USB port.

E-LINK - Exercise

An interactive system providing motivation and feedback, increasing patient compliance and tolerance of exercise programs, allowing longer effective therapy. The E-LINK parameters can be varied for range, speed and difficulty of the activities to treat a wide range of patients. The exercise is supervised, yet therapist independent. E-LINK is used for all types of patients, from Pediatrics to Geriatrics to Professional Athletes, in both Orthopedic and Neurological Rehabilitation.
