Pressure Dynamometer

Kinvent K-Bubble

Kinvent describe K-Bubble as a wireless inflatable pressure sensor that measures muscle activation, strength and endurance through controlled air pressure variations. Plug the sensor into an inflatable accessory, have the body part press into it, and the change in internal air pressure becomes a force figure in the Kinvent app while the effort is still under way.

That pneumatic route suits positions where a rigid pad has nowhere to sit. A ball between the knees captures adductor effort. A cushion behind the head captures work at the cervical spine. Inflating the accessory harder or softer sets how much resistance the body meets, which is how Kinvent describe its customizable resistance levels for progressive rehabilitation and strength training.

The Mechanism

Air Carries The Measurement

The sensing element sits in the air line, which is why the contact surface can be soft, curved and any size the accessory allows.

🌞
Pressure translated to force
Squeezing or pressing an inflated accessory raises the air pressure inside it. K-Bubble reads that controlled pressure variation and turns it into the muscle activation, strength and endurance figures Kinvent list for the sensor.
Wireless pressure sensing
⚽
Inflatable accessories
Kinvent picture the sensor with a grip accessory, an inflatable balloon and a cushion. Changing the accessory changes the shape of the contact, so the same sensor covers a squeeze between the knees and a press against the back of the head.
Interchangeable
💨
Inflation sets the load
How hard the accessory is pumped decides the pressure level the body works against. Kinvent call this customizable resistance, and it is what lets one sensor run a first rehab session and a later loaded one without new hardware.
Adjustable levels
📱
Live biofeedback
The Kinvent app shows the reading as it changes. Kinvent position that instant visual feedback as a way to help patients improve control and muscle coordination, so the display is part of the exercise rather than a report afterwards.

One Sensor, Several Shapes Of Test

Squeeze

Adductors And Lower Limb Work

Compressed between two limbs, an inflated accessory gives the adductors something to work into that adapts to the space available. Kinvent list lower limb rehabilitation among the regions this sensor is used for, and the inflatable contact follows the position instead of forcing the limb to meet a flat pad.

  • Inflatable contact adapts to the gap between the limbs
  • Compression read as a force value in the app
  • Maximum and mean force from one effort
  • Inflation level sets the working resistance
  • Same setup repeated on each side in turn

Neck, Back And Postural Control

Kinvent name neck and back rehabilitation and core and postural training among the uses for this sensor. A soft, curved contact makes those positions workable, and because the reading updates throughout the press, a slow build and a sharp spike look different from each other on screen.

  • Cushion contact for cervical spine and back work
  • Continuous reading during the whole effort
  • Posture, stability and balance work through controlled pressure
  • Visual target for holding a steady level
  • Results stored against a profile in the Kinvent app

Accessories

Grip, Balloon And Cushion

The accessories Kinvent show with K-Bubble are a grip accessory, an inflatable balloon and a cushion. Each one presents a different contact area to the body, which is how a single pressure sensor covers hand and grip work, a squeeze between the limbs, and a press into a padded surface.

  • Grip accessory for hand and grip based measurement
  • Inflatable balloon for larger pressure based exercises
  • Cushion for additional positioning options
  • Sensor stays the same across all three

The Kinvent App

Kinvent describe the app as supplying quantifiable data, real-time performance feedback and longitudinal progress tracking, with assessment exercises laid out in an interactive grid. The same app runs the rest of the Kinvent sensors, so a K-Bubble record sits alongside whatever else you measured in that session.

  • Quantifiable data from each effort
  • Real-time performance feedback during the exercise
  • Longitudinal progress tracking across sessions
  • Assessment exercises in an interactive grid
  • Shared with the rest of the Kinvent sensor range

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Pressing on a sealed, inflated accessory raises the air pressure inside it. Kinvent describe K-Bubble as measuring muscle activation, strength and endurance through controlled air pressure variations, which the Kinvent app shows as a reading while the effort is happening.
Kinvent picture three: a grip accessory for hand and grip based measurement, an inflatable balloon for larger pressure based exercises, and a cushion for additional positioning options.
No. Kinvent do not publish a pressure range, a force range or an accuracy figure for K-Bubble on their product page. The only hard numbers on record are the shipping dimensions of 13.78 x 10.24 x 13.78 in and a weight of 4.41 lbs. We do not quote a figure we cannot source.
Kinvent publish no battery figure for this sensor. What they do state is that it is wireless and connects to the Kinvent app. If run time matters to your setup, ask us before ordering and we will put the question to Kinvent rather than guess at a number.
Yes, through how far the accessory is inflated. Kinvent list customizable resistance levels as a feature, adjusting to different pressure levels for progressive rehabilitation and strength training. A softer accessory gives way sooner, a firmer one holds its shape.
No. Kinvent list isometric, isotonic and biofeedback based exercises for this sensor. Because the air path responds throughout the contact, a moving effort produces a reading in the same way a held one does.
Kinvent name neck, back and lower limb rehabilitation and core and postural training. The inflatable contact is what makes those positions practical, since a curved, padded surface can sit where a rigid pad cannot.
Kinvent describe the app as providing quantifiable data, real-time performance feedback and longitudinal progress tracking, with assessment exercises presented in an interactive grid. The same app runs the rest of their sensor range.
That is the point of it. Kinvent position the instant visual feedback as interactive rehab and biofeedback training, helping patients improve control and muscle coordination rather than only recording a result for later.
Kinvent position it for rehabilitation, strength training and sports performance. In practice that means rehab clinics, physiotherapists, sports medicine departments and performance staff. K-Bubble supplies the measurement; the choice of test and the reading of the result stay with the professional.
K-Push takes force through a rigid pad held against a limb. K-Bubble takes it through air inside a soft accessory, which opens up positions where a hard pad cannot be placed comfortably, such as a ball held between the knees or a cushion behind the head. See the K-Push page for its own published figures.
Kinvent publish CE, FDA, Health Canada, ISO 13485, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2022, HDS and HIPAA. Those cover the company, its medical device quality system and its handling of health data. They are not a performance claim about this sensor.
