BTS SPORTLAB
The functional evaluation of the athlete, including non-professional, is an important tool that allows knowing, in a quantitative way, its physical and biomechanics characteristics.
With BTS SPORTLAB, sports-medicine staff has a scientific support to improve performances, plan individual training programs, identify and correct deficiencies in the athletic preparation and reduce drastically the risk of sports injuries.
Through repeated analysis of sporting gesture, BTS SPORTLAB provides objective and quantitative information to assess the muscular-skeletal situation of each athlete, its motor strategies and progress over time.
The system, based on optoelectronic technologies and wireless devices, is not invasive. In this way it ensure the full freedom of movement: the athlete can carry out any sporting gesture without restrictions or limits.
The collected information allows structuring specific mesocycles of preparation for every athlete, reducing the risk of accidents due to overloading, which has become the key aspect of success for the professional team.
With BTS SPORTLAB, the technical and medical staff can take prompt action to correct deficiencies or structural alterations that cannot be otherwise pointed out.
Moreover it can conduct a physical training targeted for patients, using at best their different physical characteristics.
BTS SPORTLAB is particularly useful to identify and manage the recovery strategies of the athlete who has suffered an injury.
The system permits to:
Dynamic analysis in augmented reality
BTS SPORTLAB provides an augmented reality system for the real-time analysis of movement dynamic and posture.
BTS DIGIVEC is an application software easy to use, that thanks to the data obtained from the forces platform, allows visualizing the vector of reaction superimposed on the video of the subject during the execution of an exercise for the immediate analysis of the asymmetries and of the forces exerted by the lower limb.
The fast execution of tests and the simplicity of the data obtained in real-time, make BTS DIGIVEC a useful tool for the effective screening for the evaluation not only of the individual athlete, but also for the entire team.
Kinematic analysis with high indoor and outdoor precision
BTS SPORTLAB use high definition digital cameras using sensors with high sensitivity and high-power light sources of radiation that can capture with precision also faster and more subtle movements (maximum error less than 0.1 mm).
The system is able to operate without loss of accuracy in outdoor and in environments with harsh lighting conditions (ex. sports centers)
Surface electromiographic analysis based on wireless technology
BTS SPORTLAB integrates a completely wireless electromiographic system, equipped with sensors weighing just 8 grams, electrogoniometers and footswitch.
The total absence of cables allows for quick preparation of the athlete and a complete freedom of movement: probes are attached directly to the pre-gelled electrodes that, thanks to their light weight and small size, do not require additional hardware or tapes with patches.
The system ensures high quality of the acquired signal, wide range of action and an operative autonomy.
BTS SPORTLAB allows executing a functional and integrated evaluation based on
4 key-factors:
1) Posture
The postural analysis wants to highlight the eventual alterations in the correct body structure because they can cause structural overload, chronic pain and loss of joint mobility, with a consequent alteration of the athletic performance and the increase of injury risk.
The analysis allows designing a rehabilitation path enhancing the functional recovery through the evaluation of: muscle imbalance, feet support, dental occlusion and paramorphism spine.
2) Movement
The motion analysis allows verifying the ability to perform different movements and to ensure their efficiency, through the improving of the body structure and the coordinated and proprioceptive components.
Analyze a movement means to individuate the position and the speed that characterize every time the linear or angular lifting of any bodily part.
The sporting gesture then may be broken down and analyzed into its cinematic, dynamics and of muscular recruitment components, in order to optimize it.
The athlete’s performance then can be studied and improved.
3) Muscular activity
Dynamic electromiographic analysis allows executing a functional evaluation of the muscular chains activation in a non-invasive way.
It provides directions about the moment, the duration and the extent of the muscular activation during the execution of a technical and athletic gesture.
4) Forces
The analysis of forces allows evaluating the dynamic behavior of a subject during walking, running and jumping. The understanding of the forces reaction than to the lower limb joints, permits to prevent or to limit the overload.

The system permits to:
- Identify the best treatment to be applied (rehabilitative program, surgery ...)
- Monitor the rehabilitation effects over time
- Identify the achievement of full recovery in order to prevent relapses due to an earlier resumption of activities.
