The TEKSCAN Pressure Measurement System

 

Standing on right barefoot without e3 grip (10 seconds)

These two images are from a Tekscan Pressure Measurement System. They show the amount of pressure generated by the right foot of an individual without and with the e3 fitness grip.

The colored bar graph at the top the page corresponds a color with the amount of force generated. (Purple being the least amount of force and moving to red being the most amount of force.)


The white and red square depict the starting point and the white and red line depict the weight shift pattern.

The first illustration is without the e3 grips. Most of the weight is being exerted upon the heel and the outside edge of the foot. The weight shift pattern (the red and white line) moves randomly over a wide area.

 

Standing on Right Barefoot with e3 grip (10 seconds)

The second illustration shows the same individual with the e3 grips.  Here the weight is distributed more evenly throughout the foot, and the weight shift pattern is in a much tighter formation.

This indicates that the body weight is brought more to mid-line of the body as well as the foot, meaning that muscle recruitment is more efficient throughout the leg, and body control is increased by using the e3 grips. This also indicates an increase in stability for the foot, ankle, knee, hip, and back.
