Treadmill
site navigationPresentation
Arsalis has developed, in partnership with BTS Bioengineering (Italy) and Delta Medical (Belgium), a fully instrumented single frame treadmill including 4 strain gauge sensors measuring the vertical, fore-aft and lateral and ground reaction forces during locomotion. This product allows numerous strides of walking to be collected and analyzed in a clinical setting where lab space is limited. This treadmill also allows single foot contact forces to be decomposed during the double contact phase according to an algorithm developed by Arsalis in collaboration with Université catholique de Louvain. The treadmill has demonstrated outstanding accuracy and reliability allowing for routine patient assessments in rehabilitation and sports medicine. The treadmill can be interfaced with 3D motion tracking systems, electromyographs and metabolic energy expenditure measurement systems routinely used in gait analysis labs.
Specifications and compatibilities
The Arsalis force Treadmill outputs data through the TCP-IP and/or the analog interface.
The TCP-IP interface allows minimum hardware adds-on and very simple implementation.
On the other hand, analog output of the measured signals allows integration of the Arsalis force treadmill with BTS motion systems.
