FAST AND EFFECTIVE GAIT TRAINING
FOR MONITORING AND FEEDBACK TRAINING
The SmartStepTM system is comprised of four components:
SmartStepTM insole measures the force by the heel and
forefoot of the affected limb. The data is received and
stored temporarily by the portable compact wireless
control unit worn around the ankle. Data is relayed from
the control unit to a computer running the SmartStepTM
software. The SmartStepTM application displays a graphic
analysis of the patient’s data, including weight bearing,
velocity, cadence and movement timing. Using this
objective, accurate information, clinicians are able easily
to quantify patient performance, determine therapy goals
and evaluate treatment progress.
The interactive training software enables self training
and exercise in front of a multimedia display, increasing
patient motivation and performance and improving the
effectiveness of each therapy session. Limits are set by
the physical therapists to enable their patients to reach
their targeted weight bearing goals while swooshing and
jumping through the Alps. Not only will patients gain the
confidence they need to reach their optimal functional
performance, but they will also have fun doing it.
