GAITLAB
Integrated solution for multifactorial clinical gait analysis
Clinical gait analysis is a recognized, reimbursed daily practice based on standard protocols that have been validated by the international scientific community. It is used to assess various different pathologies.
BTS GAITLAB is the new integrated laboratory developed by BTS with a view to making a solution available to the clinical world that can make gait analysis an accurate, quick, complete and easily-interpreted examination.
BTS GAITLAB is a valuable tool that provides the doctor with quantitative data allowing for the examination and analysis of postural and walking-related problems, load abnormalities and muscle deficits that cannot be measured by a mere objective examination and video.
A new threshold in gait analysis
The new, powerful characteristics of this
laboratory simplify gait analysis to the
point where it becomes a simple, routine
examination. Today, in less than half an hour, a
complete patient examination can be carried
out, including:
- Gait time and distance parameters
- Variations in joint angles
- Reaction forces in contact with the ground
- Joint and power moment
- GDI (Gait Deviation Index)
- Calculation of muscle elongation
- EMG signals
- Video recording
All signals are synchronised, thereby allowing the clinician to simultaneously assess, moment by moment, how the patient moves his joints, uses his muscles and distributes his forces over the resting surfaces during the gait cycle.
A fundamental aid to the clinician
BTS GAITLAB helps with the recognition,
analysis and best treatment of patient motor
disorders:
- before treatment,
the complete gait analysis helps the specialist decide what type of therapy to employ: orthopaedic surgery, botulinum toxin, orthosis, prosthesis, intrathecal therapy, etc. - after treatment,
a comparative analysis of the data obtained before and after therapy allows for an objective and quantitative assessment with results that can be measured.
