The FIT Shoe by Davina for Next

February 8th, 2012 | Biomechanics Consultancy, Podiatry, Quintic Video Software, RSscan - Footscan

In autumn 2011 Quintic conducted a biomechanical gait analysis of the new FIT Shoe Range by Next. There are currently 5 styles of shoe in the Davina FIT range: the trainer, the pump, the ballerina, the wedge and the flat workwear shoe… with the pointed shoe and the sandal soon to be added.

The study, which used females who met the proposed target market for the Davina FIT shoe, compared each style of FIT Shoe to a typical equivalent shoe, as well as barefoot. An RSscan pressure plate was used to analyse the forces and pressures applied through the shoes and electromyography (EMG) data was collected for eight leg muscles in order to examine the differences in muscle activity.

Reduced loading rates were found for all shoes except the wedge, which may be explained by the changed gait characteristics of the foot when the heel is raised. Other key findings were…

The pump – 12% reduction in heel impact forces
The trainer – 25% less pressure on the ball of the foot
The wedge – 5% increase in calf activation (vs. barefoot)
The flat – 8% increase in calf and 12% increase in hamstring activation
The pointed shoe – reduced pressure under 3 areas of the foot
The sandal – reduced pressure under 6 areas of the foot

The shoes were launched on the 6th December 2011 and are now available from… www.next.co.uk/women/the-fit-shoe

November 4th, 2011 | Golf Biomechanics, Putting Biomechanics, Quintic Ball Roll, Quintic Video Software, RSscan - Footscan

PRESS RELEASE: 3rd November 2011

Together with his putting coach and now business partner Dr Paul Hurrion, NGF Director Jeroen Stevens, The National Golf Director, Hans Blaauw and many other guests, Robert-Jan Derksen today offically opened the latest in putting science and technology at ‘The Academy’ Nunspeet, Holland.

As already announced some months ago at the KLM Dutch Open, ‘The Academy’ works closely with the NGF to improve their structure in coaching putting to the Dutch top amateur golfers. In recent months, work has been completed on the facility to produce a ‘state of the art’ putting academy, was finally unveiled to the press and selected guests.

The Academy is based on the technique that Paul uses in his own ‘Hurrion Quintic’ putting laboratory, located in Birmingham, England. By using multi high speed cameras, Quintic ball roll, Force platform and special computer analysis software allow the coach to observe even the smallest detail in your putting stroke, which the naked eye can not see…

Paul Hurrion is an expert in putting and sports biomechanics and works with the like of Rory McIlroy, Padraig Harrington, Oliver Wilson, Paul McGinley, Philip Price…  After recent months of intensive supervision, Paul has trained NGF coach, Hayo Bensdorp in his putting physilophy and technology. Hayo is really looking forward to becoming the putting coach of ‘THE ACADEMY’ and to get started with his new pupils.

Paul and Robert-Jan performed the opening by the flag with the logo of The Academy at the entrance of ‘The Academy’ within Nunspeet Golf Club. 

“I am extremely proud of our Academy and assume that we will soon all together will witness the enhanced level of our putt-Dutch top golfers”, says Robert-Jan.

August 1st, 2011 | Podiatry, Quintic Video Software, RSscan - Footscan

Quintic 4 x High-Speed Camera System & RSscan Footscan Software Synchronise - Gait & Balance

All video files, graph and data displays in Quintic Biomechanics can be synchronised with the RSscan Footscan Pressure Plate and Force Platform data. The user can see the pressure, weight distribution, centre of pressure measurements, force Fx, Fy, Fz along with visual output of the RSscan Footscan Pressure Plate in synchronisation with the high-speed video images and kinematic data from Quintic Biomechanics. The two programs are synchronised using dual windows.

Quintic v17 Biomechanics Software

May 27th, 2010 | Quintic Video Software, RSscan - Footscan

It is possible to synchronise Quintic Biomechanics v17 software with RSscan – Gait & Balance software. All video files, graph and data displays can be synchronised with RS Scan data. Therefore allowing the user to access the pressure, weight distribution and centre of mass measurements synchronised with the video images. The ‘SST Controller’ software allows the user to control both software programs via the one scroll bar, yet allowing both programs to be access independently.
