Trunk sensor
The ST 310 and ST 310 Plus systems are also equipped with the innovative TK Sensor trunk sensor.
During standard stabilometric assessment sessions, it is particularly interesting to relate the oscillation by the higher section of the body (trunk sensor) with the ball-like rendering formed by the movement of the patient’s Centre of Pressure over the load detection platform.
In the clinical fi eld, the belief that an orthostatic station is not a static element but a mobile, three-segment system (head – trunk – lower limbs) capable of reciprocal problemsolving interaction, has now been totally acknowledged.
Therefore, localising whether the problem is at trunk stability level (i.e. the body section that has the most mass and is crucially important for body stabilisation), is fundamentally important.
