CleveMed will be attending and exhibiting at the Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society’s (GCMAS) 14th Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado. The meeting will be taking place March 9-14.
GCMAS is a society that is made up of orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, developmental pediatricians, physiatrists, physical and occupational therapists, kinesiologists, engineers and many others who are interested in human movement. The professional members of GCMAS are all interested in the advancement of scientific knowledge of gait and human movement analysis in both research and clinical settings.
CleveMed will be showcasing KinetiSense, a compact, lightweight, wireless system for measuring motion and electrical muscle activity (EMG). KinetiSense utilizes a small subject worn device that measures three degrees of linear acceleration and three degrees of angular velocity with accelerometers and gyroscopes. The device also has the option of two channels of EMG for a total of eight channels of data. KinetiSense can communicate in real time with a PC via a Bluetooth™ radio link or data can be stored in memory. The small size and wireless aspect of the device make the system suitable for a number of research applications, including gait measurement, biomechanics, rehabilitation and any other situation in which movement monitoring and analysis is desired.
A second product on display will be BioCapture, a wireless data acquisition and research system. BioCapture uses the BioRadio 150, a wireless 12 channel programmable physiological monitor. The user can measure up to 8 channels of electrical muscle activity (EMG) on the available programmable inputs. Data is then sent in real time to a PC and displayed and stored using the BioCapture software interface. LabVIEW™ and MATLAB® drivers allow the user to write customized interfaces around the BioRadio 150 hardware for real-time acquisition or post processing. Data is also saved in standard ASCII file format for easy import into third party packages, making the system appropriate f -
