Compact, lightweight, portable, state of the art three-component force platform, measuring the vertical ground reaction force and its point of application (CoP). It is sensitive enough to pick up the changes in the vertical ground reaction force produced by the beating of the heart and the blood ejection in the aorta (including the modulation produced by the breathing cycle), while the subject is standing on the top surface. It satisfies the International Society for Posture and Gait Research (ISPGR) recommendations for clinical posturography. It is intended to be used as aid in fall risk screening; posturography (static and dynamic); weight, balance, and postural control assessment; and objective tracking of treatment efficacy and disease progress. Covered by one or more US patents.
An electrically-powered device designed to be placed on/integrated into the floor and upon which a patient is intended to stand to measure and display total body weight. It is not designed to weigh a wheelchair-bound patient or bed/stretcher.
