Gait Analysis Technology to Aid in Treatment Validation
Without objective technology confirming treatment outcomes can be challenging. Learn more about how pressure mapping technology can help you validate the effectiveness of your treatments. We've compiled several resources that highlight examples of how to apply this technology in your clinic.
For a quick introduction, this brief video looks at the possible clinical associations of some common abnormalities that can be identified with the help of gait curves provides by this technology.
How Pressure Mapping Enhances Your Gait Analysis & Treatment Outcomes
Check out this webinar and published study, both presented by Dr. Andrea Coda. You can access these resources by filling in the information at the top right of this page.
You will learn:
- What are the benefits of gait analysis for patients and clinicians?
- How can you get accurate measurements with data?
- How can you be most effective with your treatments and prescriptions?
- What insights can pressure measurement data reveal, and how do you apply them clinically?
- Overview of real podiatric case studies with gait analysis technology.
Research Validated Technology from Tekscan
Tekscan's technology has been validated in research worldwide, highlighted below is an article evaluating the HR Walkway.
This study investigated the repeatability and reproducibility of the HR Walkway system with regards to peak pressure values (PP) and pressure time integral (PTI) in healthy children, ranging between 5 and 18 years of age.
- No studies with adolescent or children have previously tested the repeatability and the reproducibility of the HR-Walkway
- Compared to other barefoot analysis systems, the HR Walkway not only is able to provide high-resolution recordings but also allows multiple steps recordings.
- HR Walkway appears to be a repeatable and reproducible system for recording barefoot plantar foot measurements and gait in children and adolescents for research and clinical practice.
