Winpod electronic podometer

WINPOD is the latest electronic baropodometric platform, its quality, innovation and capability of transport are excellent.

Just an example: it only weights 6,6Kg, it is directly powered by a USB cable from PC and it has a 4 mm thickness!!

The WINPOD software which belongs to the platform is very powerful and ergonomic it has been recently gifted with the new updated MODULE PLUS software (to know better the features of MODULE PLUS please click here.

Let’s check the main analysis perfomed by the WINPOD platform.

STATIC ANALYSIS: we mean by baropodometric static test the recording of the pressure performed by upright people on both feet with no support, with or without shoes, with the aligned heels and 30° wide apart feet in order to get a kind of polygon as support; in this position we can reach the best stability according to the sagittal and lateral-medial parameters. Such analysis, which can be acquired in a 1mm/s, let value: the barycentre of the body, the monopodalic centre pressure, the numerical parameters divided into forefoot and rearfoot and according to each single foot: the the support surface, the support loads according to the patient’s weight, the maximum pressure (M) and the middle pressure (relation between load and surface).

What the STATISTICS software offers:

• cartography with calculation per zones;
• different visualization on video and printed (thermografic, isopression, percentages, 3D...);
• print in a scale of 1:1 of the foot image;
• print analysis with the “drag&drop” technics;
• and more...

POSTUROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS: what it is exactly ? it is about a recording very close to the statistic one but the acquired times (timing) can be varied by the operator. It is possible to visualize, monitor and analize the baricentric oscillation, body and feet, and consequently the stability of a person together with the measurement of middle and highest podalic pressure according to the colorimetric, graphic and numerical parameters. Besides it allows to visualize the activity (the mechanism of the statics) of the podalic pressure according to its ongoing adjustments to get the upright position and consequently the possibility to read through the postural podalic strategies: adaptive, causative, compensative, not harmonic, asyimmetric, double component. All that is possible thanks to a scanning of the body baricenter shifting in such a time(from 1 till 60 seconds) according to: direction or deviation with reference to X-Y axes (latero-lateral; front-rear), length of the path (L), surface or confidence ellipse (S), middle speed (V), relation between length and surface (L/S).

What the POSTUROGRAFIC software offers:

• numeric and graphic analysis of the stabilometric data;
• Romberg analysis;
• Statokinesigramm (clue);
• Electrostabilogramm;
• and more...

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS: when we talk about dynamic analys we mean the study of the foot pressure by walking (the person in action); first of all we analyse the insole pressure, with monopodalic support, we have this pressure when the foot is put on the sensors of the footboard. By this phase we can check how you put your foot by walking, showing the whole action of it ( from the very beginning when you put your heel on the ground and then when you lift the front foot and the toes from the ground); in this way it is possible to record the surface value, the pressure value and the speed value. Such values can be drawn as graphics or numbers with reference to: maximum pressure or overload (M), middle pressure, support surfaces, speed (staying time), Mass Line (M) that is the line which joins the overlaod point (its path) with the Gait Line (G) that is the line of the path of the pressure while the foot is being laid.

What DYNAMICS software offers:

• the capability of getting till up 200 images per second;
• dynamic global image, numeric calculation per zone, step movement curve,...;
• cinematography of the different steps by foot putting;
• multiple measurements of the times by foot putting;
• and more...

We list some of the mechanic and electronic technical features they can describe at best the strengths of this product:

• Big active surface: 410x410 mm;
• The thinnest: only 4mm of thickness;
• High numbers of sensors (2304) of the latest generation, electronically calibrated and very flat;
• Regularly updates of softwares and hardwares;
• Precision and manufacturing quality with no comparison;
• Free movement with the USB direct connection and now also with the direct connection from PC (always through USB cable);
• High definition image both suitable for video and print
• High Technology and fashionable design;
• A big European alliance IMAGO / MEDICAPTEURS.

Services given by Imago:

• installation and training at our company all inclusive;
