A byproduct of years of medical product development for wheelchair users, the Equestrics® sensor is the product of extensive scientific research coupled with the latest technology in surface pressure mapping and algorithm development.
Using the Equestrics® sensor system allows you to quickly evaluate a horse’s back for symmetry and potential sore spots, and help determine the most suitable saddle tree type, tree width, panel shape and depth for his back.
The Tactilus Equestrics® sensor is a matrix-based tactile surface sensor that works by the principle of piezoresistance. Tiny sensing cells cover the entire surface area of the sensor “skin” allowing for discrete spot pressure analysis at any point in the contact region. The Tactilus Equestrics® sensor provides real-time data showing precisely where the pressure points occurs between the saddle and the horse.
Product components
The Tactilus Equestrics® sensor system includes the following components:
- A piezoresistance matrix sensor mat that is placed underneath the saddle on the back of the horse. Tiny sensing cells cover the entire mat and perform discrete pressure analysis of every point in the contact region
- An electronic hub that connects the sensor to the computer system
- Interconnection cabling
- Power supply
- Analytical system
Benefits
- Scientifically accurate and precise data for developing the best saddle-fit
- An easy-to-use system that includes everything you need to fit saddles to practically any horse, any rider
- Real-time feedback about pressure points at any location in the contact region
- Cost-effective and reliable system operation
