The heart of the system
The system is constituted essentially by a data acquisition board capable of electronic transduction of all the minimum angular movements performed by a sophisticated electronic platform.
When the patient tilts the mobile platform by moving his/her limb placed on top of it, the data acquisition board converts each single movement into electrical impulses and sends them directly to the personal computer.
The electric impulses processed by the system software, allow for display on the computer screen of a graph tracing that is tightly related to the patient’s
joint movements (kinaesthetic tracing).
The results obtained here are very useful both to the patient and to the operator.
The patient is provided with continuous visual feedback via which it is possible for the patient to compare between what he is “feeling” on a kinaesthetic level and what is actually happening at motory levels.
