Posture Monitoring Feedback

Monitoring systems are recommended for positional biofeedback, to allow clinicians assess the patients posture. This assessment can be carried out while completing every day tasks simulated using Work Aids or by carrying out the actual every day task such as dressing, bathing or walking. This biofeedback can be used to correct the patients posture while carrying out daily tasks, thus preventing injury and promoting further independence.

    Goniometer

    Product Code: 02037

    This is an elastic structure that follows the patient’s movements and informs them when they have reached / passed a predefined joint angle.

    This aid works on relative angles, also monitoring joints that do not have a stable rotation axis, such as the thoracic scapula because, unlike other joint measuring systems, it is not positioned on the fulcrum, but is moved away in relation to the movement of the joint segments, closing the circuit and activating the sensor. The instrument is put in place using velcro strips or double-sided tape applied to the skin. Adjustment is done by changing the length of a cable laid parallel to the elastic.

    When doing the exercises if elevation, tipping or rotation of the thoracic scapula is picked up, when it should be stabilised, the feedback is very effective.  Also, given the difficulty of correctly perceiving the area, application of the vibrating pad on the muscle group to be activated, facilitates control.

    NOTE:  This aid can also be used for other joints and various “tasks”.

    Inclinometer

    Product Code: 02036

    The inclinometer is a sensor that closes an electric circuit when movements occur on the frontal – sagittal plane, providing position feedback, as it reads absolute movements of the body (trunk movements, in the examples that follow) and provides information on them.  The signalling device can be visual, acoustic or vibratory.

    Visual feedback (FB) is useful when “setting” the instrument, to determine the angle beyond which the patient will feel the stimulus (sound / vibration). This avoids confusion being created, by providing the patient with a signal only when correctly set. In the most advanced learning stage, self-evaluation exercises are provided for (“summary feedback”) in which the therapist watches the LED and has an objective parameter to compare with the perception expressed by the patient while executing a series of tests.

    Sound FB is commonly used because it informs the patient timeously and precisely, drawing their attention to the motorial behaviour of the area involved. It is particularly useful for patients that tend to have limited attentive participation in the treatment.

    Vibrating FB is provided by a “vibrating pad” 2 cm in diameter, which will be positioned near the area of muscle you wish to stimulate / block. This results in the patient reducing the time lapse between information and response, because they do not have to interpret a sound or LED, but receive the information at the point monitored.

    Visual / acoustic / vibratory FB has a warning and alarm meaning in relation to an incorrect gesture (negative FB) or recognition of correct execution (positive FB). For the same movements, the inclinometer is positioned in opposite directions to implement the two different modes.

    To set the range beyond which the feedback is activated, simply adjust the antenna, changing the tilt on it. The closer it is to the horizontal position, the more sensitive it will be to movements on that plane.  The antenna is screwed to a support that is positioned using a velcro strip on the front or back of the thoracic viewer strap.

    Positional Feedback Set

    Product Code: 02038

    This set comprises two positional feedback devices known as an Inclinometer and Goniometer.  They can provide a visual, sound, or vibratory signal if incorrect posture occurs when a patient is busy doing some work.  The feedback device to be positioned on the patient is chosen to suit the type of compensation to be monitored.

    02036 INCLINOMETER: The inclinometer is a sensor that closes an electric circuit when movements occur on the frontal – sagittal plane, providing position feedback, as it reads absolute movements of the body and provides information on them.

    02038 GONIOMETER: This is an elastic structure that follows the patient’s movements and informs them when they have reached / passed a predefined joint angle.
