MEDICAL has introduced a new approach to gait analysis
with GRAIL – a dedicated solution for clinical gait training. The system
is based on the latest neuroscience contributions in the field of
rehabilitation, while real-time adjustment allows analysis and training during
the same session.
The Gait
Lab Of The Future
The complexity of an efficient human gait
pattern becomes clear when it is compromised due to disease, trauma, or natural
decline. Clinical gait analysis is a proven and powerful tool to identify an
impaired gait pattern.
Traditionally, force-plates, electromyography (EMG), video cameras and a motion-capture system are used to collect gait parameters like walking-speed, step-size, joint angles, joint moments, muscle activation, etc.
Conventional gait analysis is generally executed in a large lab of an expensive 75 square meters and strictly limited to analysis based on an artificially targeted single step on the force-plate. Because of the time consuming, complex and thus expensive procedure, gait analysis is often only used for severe Cerebral Palsy and Stroke patients.
GRAIL provides the full functionality of a conventional gait lab on 25 square meters. For the first time all gait parameters are processed in real-time and are directly available for gait training using immediate feedback.
