Walkway™ is a low profile floor walkway system that captures multiple sequential foot strikes of humans and animals for analysis of foot function and gait. The system provides data to calculate stride length, velocity, and gait parameters for objective and quantified affirmation of diagnosis and mode of treatment while also answering research and/or development questions. The Walkway's unique modular design allows you to choose the system configuration by sensing area and sensor resolution.
For academic clinicians and researchers treating, investigating or studying foot (or paw) function and gait, the Walkway also provides data information for answering research hypotheses and clinically treating foot (or paw) problems, gait dysfunctions and others such as neuromuscular related diseases & disorders.
Applications
Applications:
- Quantify continuous gait patterns over many strides
- Identify plantar pressure profile discrepancies between left and right feet
- Identify asymmetries during stance phase
- Identify areas of potential ulcerations
- Monitor improvements in balance, sway, strength & weight bearing
- Assess high pressures and deviated Center of Force trajectories due to pronation, supination, or other foot and/or gait related disorders
Beneficts
Benefits:
- Save time capturing multiple foot strikes (reduction of trials)
- Reduce incidence of ulcers and speed healing time
- Educational tool to teach rehabilitation exercises for the lower limb
- Supporting documentation for fee-for-service approach or insurance claims
- Educational tool to teach rehabilitation exercises for the lower limb
- Tangible, visible biofeedback for the client which increases compliance
