Advanced Gait Analysis at Children's of Alabama with BTS GAITLAB
Excellence and Specialization in Pediatric Care
A medical center committed to Pediatric Care
Children’s of Alabama is a private, not-for-profit medical center providing specialized medical care for ill and injured children since 1911.
Ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the nation Children’s serves patients from every county in Alabama and nearly every state.
It is the only health system in Alabama dedicated solely to the care and treatment of children.
The Division of Orthopedic Surgery at Children’s Hospital, a leading center of excellence for the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions of childhood, has adopted BTS GAITLAB for guiding decisions regarding surgical, therapy and orthotic interventions.
SMART-DX EVO Optoelectronic Cameras: Captured high-precision kinematic data for detailed motion analysis.
P-6000 Force Platforms: Measured ground reaction forces and postural stability, providing crucial insights into load distribution and movement asymmetries.
FREEEMG Wireless System: Allowed muscle activation analysis without restricting natural movement, offering a complete picture of neuromuscular function during gait cycles.
SMART-Clinic Software: Enabled synchronized data acquisition and real-time reporting, simplifying clinical assessments.
The implementation of BTS GAITLAB met the stringent gait analysis requirements at Children’s of Alabama. Clinicians can now objectively assess motor dysfunctions, monitor rehabilitation progress, and customize treatment plans with precision. The seamless integration of multiple technologies ensures synchronized data collection, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and clinical efficiency. Moreover, the system’s advanced reporting capabilities allow specialists to track improvements over time and make evidence-based decisions for pediatric rehabilitation.
The BTS GAITLAB has enhanced our ability to assess and treat pediatric movement disorders. The advanced technology allows us to provide highly accurate and objective evaluations, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
This state-of-the-art laboratory provides an objective and quantitative approach to assessing gait and movement disorders in children, enabling precise diagnosis and personalized treatment planning. With a commitment to improving pediatric mobility and rehabilitation, Children’s of Alabama has adopted this cutting-edge motion analysis technology to enhance clinical decision-making and therapeutic interventions.
