Gaitway

The new gaitway 3D is a joint design by h/p/cosmos and Arsalis. It measures the ground reaction forces and torques in three directions and comes in three different sizes: each size is optimized for a range of speeds.

The gaitway 3D offers a rigid construction to record optimal quality signals. The functionalities include a patient weighing scale, a recording of the ground reaction forces at rates up to 10 kHz, left and right force measurement for the vertical force during walking and an extensive list of biomechanical parameters of normal and pathological gaits.

Functionalities & Biomechanical parameters：

• Online feedback to user (e.g. for training facilities).
• Data recording & analysis (e.g. for research facilities).
• Patient evaluation (e.g. for clinical research facilities).

Biomechanical parameters：

• Step length, width, frequency.
• Swing / stance durations.
• Contact / aerial durations.
• Stride asymmetry.
• Force peaks (push-off, landing).
• Force vector orientation.
• Loading and unloading rate.
• Left / Right foot for vertical force.
• More biomechanical parameters.

Measured and computed signals：

• 3D Force (Fz, Fy, Fx).
• Center of Pressure (Opx, Opy).
• Moments (Mx, My).
• Frictional Torque (Tz).
• Belt speed.
