Posture and gait analysis

DDS has the best customers in the world, which drives us to become the industry’s best platform for capturing and measuring interface pressure, as well as analyzing and visualizing the data. DDS desktop systems connect to the cloud and with the power of our AI/ML-powered platform we can

predict and optimize workflows and outcomes.

Powerful software can continually reveal both surface and dynamic data in real-time.

Intelligent Dynamic Sensing (IDS) reveals the hidden data across product, consumer, clinical, and human body performance applications. Deployed across the cloud, mobile, and desktop.

Measure and visualize surface data anywhere.

Cloud-powered workflows reveal, monitor, alert, and analyze data from surfaces and dynamic motion in human performance and continuous skin monitoring scenarios.

Data can aggregate in the cloud, privately and securely. Combined with public and private data-sets, it can drive insight, identify anomalies, and predict outcomes. Configure sensors and capture sessions while on the go—no compromises.

mobile solutions for human performance mean you can get out of the lab and still collect the best quality plantar pressure and gait data available. For tire testing engineers, mobile sensing solutions enable you to capture real-time data on the racetrack.

For healthcare with the continuous skin monitoring viewer, XSENSOR enables your hospital nursing staff to check patient status at the bedside and on the go — improving patient safety and staff workload productivity.

CHALLENGE

Even though medical professionals spend much of their valuable time trying to prevent and manage pressure injuries — their rate of occurrence remains high.

Current approaches to pressure injury prevention are time-consuming and difficult to prioritize based on patient need. Clinicians lack the precise information needed to make evidence-based decisions on improving patient condition.

Without the data revealed by Intelligent Dynamic Sensing, footwear and clothing can compromise performance, comfort, and safety.

In clinical, sports performance, or research applications, existing plantar pressure and gait measurement products are not suitable for real-world testing.

Existing equipment may not have a high enough sensor resolution or sampling frequency to capture data accurately, or it may not be durable enough to be used on outdoor terrain, or offer much-needed wireless or mobile capabilities.

Solutions

Pressure data is used to improve patient safety today along with predictive technology to prevent pressure injuries in the future.

Improve patient safety in hospital beds, operating rooms, and wheelchairs by giving clinicians visibility into areas of sustained pressure.

Optimize staff workload by helping them prioritize patients at risk of pressure injury. Leverage AI technology to augment patient care.

Help prevent new pressure injuries from occurring. Reveal accurate gait and motion data to help biomechanics professionals optimize human performance. Gain insights for human performance or biomechanics research with accurate plantar pressure and gait data and advanced analysis tools.

Validate gait interventions with powerful, highly-detailed visualizations. Evaluate orthotic effectiveness and comfort and reduce the risk of injury with reliable and repeatable plantar pressure data

GPS Postural Lab assessment of your patient’s static and dynamic posture is the first and last step of any GPS Therapeutic Pathways intervention. It tells you where you are and where you can go.

Good global posture is an indicator of good musculoskeletal health. Yet prevalence and incidence of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders are reaching pandemic proportions. Our excessively sedentary and inactive lifestyle with long periods in fixed and strained positions leads to poor static and dynamic posture. This eventually makes healthy movement impossible

It is paramount to regain control of our postural harmony by precisely identifying incorrect body positions and making targeted corrections. We need to reset and re-establish healthy posture.

Posture reeducation therapy and posturology are rapidly gaining popularity and recognition among experts. Decades of research and experience has helped us better understand how correct posture, greatly improves quality of life, helping prevent and treat a large number of dysfunctions and injuries.

For decades Chinesport has worked together with leading experts in global posture analysis. We are now at the forefront of researching and developing new, highly accurate tools to analyse static and dynamic posture as well as offering innovative therapeutic devices.

The GPS Postural Labs range is the result of our dedication to healthy posture for healthy movement. We offer modular workstations from entry to expert level. This allows you to select a GPS Postural Lab that exactly suits your practical and clinical needs, while remaining affordable.

All GPS Postural Labs include our unique and proprietary software that assists you in making the right clinical decisions. They allow you to obtain and combine data from different subsystems that affect posture and ensure data is recorded in an accurate, repeatable and reliable way. This allows the clinician to make important comparisons between visits to precisely record patient progress.

Medical general practitioners, orthopeadic specialists and engineers, physiatrists, physical therapists, chiropractitioners, movement therapists, osteopaths and any others whose work relies on healthy posture will recognize the unique benefits of GPS Postural Labs assessments and analysis.

Whole-body, static posture analysis

Our laboratories have one or more pictures acquisition devices for the static analysis of the subject’s posture under evaluation. They are high quality professional devices that allow the acquisition of high resolution pictures of the person. The scanned images can be enlarged on the screen with a specific GPS 6 software function in order to observe and analyze certain details or body districts. In particular one or two external devices can be used for the acquisition of an entire person picture and / or the back-foot. In case of interest also of the podalic support analysis, a third device is prepared inside the specific platform part of the laboratory in use. The enlargement function of the acquired images will also allow to perform measurements directly on the images themselves, which can be saved on images after being suitably identified or classified with a specific label. During the start-up phase of the laboratory, an important operation is therefore setting of the resolution for the pictures acquisition with different devices provided

The device for acquiring subject pictures must be used in combination with the essential part of the laboratory called “postural analyzer”. The patient will have then to position on the postural analyzer. The postural analyzer is also equipped with an upper mirror, inclined to observe also the possible shoulders rotation. For further information on the postural analyzer, please consult related presentation pages below. One of the advantages of this system of static analysis is that it is not invasive, and can therefore be repeated after the first visit, at different times during the therapeutic and postural re-educational path.
