BTS has developed the gait analysis lab to provide an important and decisive contribution to orthopedics for the improvement of the quality of life of people with motor dysfunctions.
The BTS analysis lab is a precious instrument that allows physicians to perform a dynamic analysis of the stride phases, detailing what the eye cannot see and video recording cannot acquire.
Nowadays in less than thirty minutes reliable, synchronized and comparable data can be obtained, including:
- Stride time and space parameters
- Ground reaction forces
- Articular moments and powers
- Electromyographic signals
- Video recordings
The synchronization of all signals allows clinical personnel to evaluate simultaneously how the patient moves the articulations, uses his or her muscles and exchanges forces with the ground during the stride cycle as a function of time.
Using the gait analysis lab, walking irregularities can be identified, analyzed and corrected:
Before the intervention:
Having examined the reports of the gait analysis, it is easier to decide the type of treatment: surgery, botulinic toxin, intrathecal baclofen pumps, orthesis, prosthesis, etc.
After the intervention:
By comparing the analyses before and after treatment, results and improvements can be evaluated.
The main objective of physicians is to improve the quality of life of patients:
the BTS gait analysis lab has been created to help them attain this objective.
