Webinar Description

Global measures, including step length symmetry and walking activity levels may be the best predictors of continued improvement following gait training. Clinicians need user-friendly tools that produce reliable objective spatio-temporal gait data. Historical methods of clinical data collection involve arduous, unreliable methods using stopwatches or pressure mats. Technology can objectively measure gait variable changes in patients, however, the busy clinician requires a system that can easily collect data and organize it in a way that is immediately meaningful and useful, while not interfering with the therapy delivery. GaitSens 2.0 allows clinicians to easily and objectively assess gait during walking while maximizing steps taken via treadmill training. The data collected can be used immediately to implement gait training and biofeedback programs specifically targeting increased symmetry and timing of gait parameters. Outline: (60 minutes) The why what and how of spatiotemporal gait analysis: Why use instrumented gait analysis: 5 minutes What: the spatiotemporal data set: 10 minutes How: capture data and change gait 30 minutes Balance data: sway and targeting 5 minutes Q&A: 10 minutes
