Load Cell - Bite Force Measurement Study

Miniature Load Buttons have been utilized in medical research studies by the University of Amsterdam to measure the bite strength of dementia patients.


How it Works

  1. Set up to measure the bite force of dementia patients, researchers at the University of Amsterdam installed FUTEK's Load Buttons between the stainless steel plates of a probe.

  2. As the patient bites down onto the probe, the force applied is streamed directly to FUTEK's SensLog Handheld Display where the researchers can monitor the data. If the researchers chooses to utilize FUTEK's SENSITâ„¢ Test and Measurement Software alongside the SensLog Handheld Display, they will then have the ability to live graph and log all the data.

  3. We should note that FUTEK's Load Buttons are intended for in-line (vertical) measurements.
