Illustrations of the Body-Saddle Interaction

The above illustrations are taken from a 3D animation showing the interaction of the body with the saddle.
Map_M_GEL.jpg	Map_M_Hole.jpg		Map_W_GEL.jpg	Map_W_Hole.jpg
The above illustrations show the pressure distribution on 2 different kinds of saddles (GEL and Hole) and how these saddles interact with the anatomical structures of men and women. The first 2 on the left are showing the 2 types of saddles interacting with the anatomical structures of MEN. The last 2 on the right are showing the 2 types of saddles interacting with the anatomical structures of WOMEN.

Testing Devices Used by Prof Froboese and Dr Sommer

TD_Fro_Sensors.jpg	TD_Fro_Gen.jpg	Froboese’s Pressure Distribution Test A sensor is positioned on the saddle, pressures are measured and recorded by a computer.
