0The treadmill is a system for the quantitative, biomechanical assessment of gait and body posture. It is equipped with a transmission belt with a matrix of measuring sensors transmitting the signal to the computer in real time. Dedicated software for the FDM-T treadmill enables to analyze the distribution of pressure forces on the ground while walking and standing. It allows the analysis of the individual phases of gait and the evaluation of many parameters describing the gait, including speed, stride length and width, foot positioning while walking and stride symmetry. The static software module allows to analyze the pressure of the feet on the ground while standing freely. The change in the position of the center of pressure on the ground (CoP) over time is also determined. It allows to determine the sway of the body and assess the balance. The treadmill can be synchronized with a high-resolution video camera and EMG. It can also be part of a larger measurement system.
Examples of ZEBRIS FDM-T treadmill applications:
- assessment of gait abnormalities in children and adults, assessment of gait symmetry (screening tests),
- evaluation of the effectiveness of the applied locomotive functions enhancement,
- evaluation of running, running style, balance during dynamic activities,
- assessment of the balance of neurological and geriatric patients,
- assessment of changes in the foot pressure distribution on the ground while using various types of orthopedic equipment.
We carry out our tests according to the client individual instructions. We’re open to determine the course of research for non-standard requirements.
