GaitSmart 2 is a product system that measures the gait cycle and lower limb movement of individuals. The product uses sensors, IMU’s, attached to the lower limbs that record the movement of a client during a test. The data is then taken from each sensor and analysed, using cloud computing and results are presented back on a screen in the form of a report.The output of the Gait cycle measurement is the GaitSmart report. The report is colour coded to a normalised healthy dataset. Green – normal movement. Amber – moderate issues. Red severe issues. Furthermore, the specific numeric values are provided on the report. The report can also provide suggested standard exercises to help the person improve the parameters identified in the report. The tests can then be repeated to provide information of the changes in a client’s gait over time. This information is valuable to show progression, consistency or deterioration of a clients’ mobility.
An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) devices and instruments intended to be used to study walking or running patterns. The device uses a platform/mat that measures ground reaction forces or relative pressures (e.g., foot pressure mapping), and/or uses cameras to determine knee, ankle, and hip joint movements and to measure forces and torques. It can be used to diagnose problems related to walking or running and to help plan corrective actions.
