The "PAROTEC" foot pressure measurement system and its calibration procedures (2005)
Abstract:
The Parotec is an electronic system used for measuring the pressure distribution on the plantar surface of the foot within the shoe on a number of diabetic patients under various conditions. It is believe that the design of the pressure vessel for applying static and dynamic pressure on the transducers is an important contribution to the validation of the Parotec system. The main advantages of the Parotec system is the hydro cell technology however the number of sensors is no enough for recording pressure in areas at-risk such as the 5th toe, MTH1, MTH4 and MTH5, according to the results from the X-ray study.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
