SMART-Clinic is an advanced and user friendly tool designed for a simultaneous, comprehensive and objective evaluation of the neuromuscular and biomechanical parameters of the patient including the analysis of several body segments: gait, reaching, pointing, grasping, postural behavior, etc.

SMART-Clinic allows the user to evaluate in real time all the integrated and synchronized information to obtain an objective data based report.

SMART-Clinic is the perfect diagnostic aid to plan orthopaedic surgery, to validate pharmacologic or rehabilitation therapy and to select the best orthesis for the patient.

 BTS SMART-Clinic is a tool software for BTS SMART-D.

 

Main features

 

Main features:

  • Complete motion analysis fully integrated with kinematic, kinetic, electromyographic and footswitch data, as well as elaboration and report for cyclic events, such as walking phases in the case of gait analysis.

    •
  • BTS THOR2 bar based calibration for a fast system set up even with obstacles in the field of view.

    •
  • Automatic kinematic tracking.

    •
  • Marker placement in accordance with internationally recognized protocols: DAVIS, HELEN HAYES, RAB, LAMB, OXFORD FOOT MODEL, etc.

    •
  • Several analysis protocols for the analysis of the motion of different body segments are available.

    •
  • Database for management of patient trials and sessions and clinical report generation.

    •
  • Patient database statistics: the patient database can be queried according to various criteria such as patient age, sex, pathology groups, gait or motion analysis trial day. The queries may be run on screen from graphical user interface or printed in PDF format.

    •
  • Customizable graphs and reports

    •
  • Automatic analysis of the parameters that describe the motion cycle (e.g. gait cycle, and related parameters such as stride timing, cadence, stance and swing timing, etc.).

    •
  • Comparison among sessions, pathologies, right or left limb normalized with respect to the cycle duration of the relative trial.

    •
  • Calculation of joint angles as flex-extension, abd-adduction, intra-extra rotation and relative normalization.

    •
  • Linear and angular variable filtering using adaptative techniques in order to identify the optimum band with no loss or corruption for the source file.

    •
  • Platform data plotting (reaction vector, COP, torque).

    •
  • Computation of joint moment and power and relative normalization.

    •
  • Synchronized integration of video information detected by BTS VIXTA System.

    •
  • Configurable report, in HTML format, for easy sharing and consultation also through internet. Regards Gait Analysis, there are available report templates based on internationally published recommendations (e.g. ref. "The treatment of Gait problems in cerebral palsy", James R. Gage, 2004).

    •
  • Data export in excel format and text format (ASCII).

    •
  • The software includes normative data of different motion types, divided into adults and children category.



Software Specifications


Software modules specifications
BTS SMART-Clinic is made up of different modules dedicated to specific function:

User interface
It allows the user to interact easily with the different modules. It also provides the direct management of the patient database.

Database
For the management of patients and sessions.

Database statistics
Dedicated to the queries of the lab activity with report generation and storing in PDF format.

SMART-Capture
To control the motion analysis hardware.

SMART-Tracker
To automatically reconstruct the 3D data.

SMART-Analyzer, "Clinic"release
It allows protocols to be applied to the reconstructed data, and analysis to be performed automatically with the user being able to verify the data accuracy.

SMART-Report
To generate a report in HTML format containing the data obtained from the motion analysis (e.g. gait) after the analysis protocol application (DAVIS,HELEN HAYES, RAB, LAMB, OXFORD FOOT MODEL, etc.).
