Tactilus® by NexGen - Gait Analysis Walkway

The modular Gait Analysis Walkway platform or baropodometric platform is used by podiatrists, physiatrists, and other professionals to analyze a patient’s gait. Patients can perform a walking sequence involving two or more foot contacts, depending on the overall size of the platform and the number of modules purchased (2 to 16 modules). The base material is aluminum.

The results of the analysis can be viewed on a Windows PC using the included Biomech Studio software to evaluate the spatiotemporal parameters of gait (analysis of the phases of a step), as well as identify areas of excessive pressure during the gait cycle, the trajectory of peak pressure points, the center-of-pressure path, the pressure-time integral, and contact durations. Using the first module, you can perform a form of static stabilometric analysis by having the subject stand still on the platform for a duration ranging from 5 to 60 seconds.
