ETB-PEGASUS JOINT ANGLE SYSTEM
Some Applications
ETB’s products give accurate and repeatable numerical information not currently otherwise obtainable across a wide spectrum of activities;
• Research, education, colleges, universities: a far greater depth of research is possible simply due to being able to use the system in real life situations, not constrained by gait labs or rooms in hospitals.
• Diagnosis: measurement of the gait profile to determine whether the patient has a normal symmetric gait pattern.
• Monitoring: after surgery (knee, hip et al), monitoring of recovery to ensure the patient is doing well, allowing for early corrective treatment. Also applies to amputees, e.g., whether the prosthetics are adjusted correctly and so not affecting the good leg.
• Training: teaching people how to move more efficiently and effectively, e.g., training the elderly and to help prevent falls injuries, or elite sports people who are looking for that extra 1% in performance.
