MotionLab
Clinical activity
Il MotionLab It is a reality inserted in the context of the IGEA Nursing Home which, thanks to the synergy between bioengineers, doctors e rehabilitation professionals, aims to support clinicians in the functional classification of the patient and in a possible construction of rehabilitation process, answering specific clinical questions and objectifying the results obtained following the treatments performed.
The laboratory uses technologically advanced tools for the objective measurement of human movement, allowing for accurate kinematic analysisand kinetics e of muscular activity starting from simple actions required of the patient, such as Gait Analysis and balance in standing position.
THEinstrumental gait analysis e of balance in standing position are accompanied by a report which becomes an integral part of the medical record of the adult or pediatric patient.
Research activity
The main lines of research they concern him study of movement of patients with neurological pathologies, such as the walk,equilibrium and spatial exploration of the upper limb.
The laboratory also has the aim of evaluate and validate new innovative systems for rehabilitation, studying it clinical and scientific relevance in both the field clinical that of Research.
Instrumentation
La laboratory equipment it consists of:
- un optoelectronic system with seven infrared cameras and two video cameras (VICON®) coupled and synchronized with two force platforms (AMTI🇧🇷)
- un 32-channel bipolar electromyographic system (OT Bioelettronica SRL)
- un system for the analysis of metabolic consumption (Vyntus® CPX)
- un treadmill (Technogym🇧🇷)
- un high-density electroencephalograph (64 ch, BrainProducts®) and three wearable inertial sensors (mHealth Technologies SRL)
They complete the instrumentation technological devices and prototypes developed specifically for the purposes of Research, institutions, university e companies who collaborate with Casa di Cura IGEA.
