Not only Gait analysis,But also Gait training: using the same sensors

Alongside gait analysis, we use straps and the same sensors for joint angle work. Hip flexion/extension first - therapists and patients check goal progress on - screen.
We also focus on center - of - gravity transfer. Stroke patients shift weight, practice gait swings. Joint angles are constantly monitored.
In addition to rhythmic auditory stimulation gait training we can also use straps and chips to train joint angles.
let's do a hip flexion and extension training first.When the patient moves,our therapist can observe the screen to see if the patient can achieve the established training goals.
For example if we want the patient to reach a level of more than 50 degrees the patient can also look at the screen to correct whether her hip flexion has reached more than 50 degrees.
Apart from the basic angle training we can incorporate more exercises that focus on transferring the center of gravity . To give an example we can instruct post stroke patients to shift their weight to the affected side and then balance themselves using the healthy side.
Next we can prepare them for the gait swing of the healthy side and encourage them to move forward and backward which will help enhance their ability to transfer the center of gravity
and switch legs . Additionally we can monitor their joint angles on a screen to ensure proper joint angles.
