Assessment & CAD-CAM Technology 20 ■ Gait and Run Analysis: Positioned on the side bars of a treadmill, Optogait becomes a portable lab for small spaces and with reduced costs. The system is compatible with the wide majority of treadmills and no synchronization is necessary to start and carry out a test ■ Different Jump Tests: A series of exercises (squat jump, counter movement jump, drop jump, continuous jumps, jumps on one leg, etc.) and protocols ('Drift' for dynamic stability, '5 Dot Drill' for reactivity and endurance, 'Single Leg Three Hops' to verify the bending capacity and stability of the knee) are pre-configured. At the same time, the user can easily create customized tests or protocols ■ Tapping/Frequency Test: This type of test is ideal for exercises where separate results are required for the left and right foot (e.g. tapping/frequency test, side movement, walking on the spot, etc.) ■ Reaction Test: This test detects the time between one optical/acoustic impulse and the patient's movement. It can be used to measure simple reactions or more complex movements. (The single meter can be battery-operated (8 hours) or used with a net adapter) What is Optogait? Elftman Optogait is a system for optical detection made by a transmitting and a receiving bar. Each one contains 96 LEDs communicating on an infrared (visible) frequency with the same number of LEDs on the opposite bar. Once positioned on the floor or on a treadmill, the system detects the interruptions of the communication between the bars - caused by the patient's movement - and calculates the duration and position. During the execution of a running, gait or series of jumps test, the contact and flight times can be measured with an accuracy of 1,000 th of a second and the position of the interrupted LEDs with a space resolution of 1cm. Starting from this basic data, the dedicated software measures in real-time a series of crucial data for the movement analysis. The absence of mechanical moving parts ensures a long life, accuracy and repetition possibilities. ■ Identify deficiencies, postural problems and asymmetries on the basis of data and videos and determine how the patients' performance is being affected ■ Develop and apply therapeutic-rehabilitation applications, rehab approaches and orthopaedic solutions on the basis of precise data ■ Prevent - thanks to immediate assessment of numerical values - of relapses, complications and involutions of the pathological or post-accident condition due to wrong evaluations or diagnosis ■ Periodically verify the results and the efficiency of treatment ■ Motivate patients giving them tangible proof of improvement ■ Compare post and pre-accident values if available ■ Verify, in a dynamic situation, the efficiency of arch supports, insoles or functional tapes ■ Compare various shoes and their effect on the patient's gait ■ Assess objectively the patient's general physical conditions Elftman Optogait allows users to: Single Meter Kit Dimensions: 100 x 4 x 3cm Weight: 2.1kg *Treadmill not included Optogait Elftman Optogait allows you to carry out various test types:
