Gait Walkway System The electronic walkway for gait measure must have electronics and sensing technology that achieve superior sensitivity and linearity and be capable of assessing various mobility tasks, which include the following: 1. Walking (up to 20 feet) 2. Running 3. Hopping 4. Turning task 5. Timed Up and Go test (TUG) 6. 6-minute walk test • In order to prevent patients from tripping and falling during mobility tests, the walkway must be designed to prevent the edges from curling so that the flat testing surface can be used safely when patients walk with walking devices (e.g. walkers, wheeled walker and canes). The electronic walkway must have three layers with linoleum top cover (or something equivalent) to protect the electronics and sensors from damages. • The electronic walkway must have movement analysis software to instantly calculate the estimated Center of Mass (CoMe) as a postural instability indicator which is easy to use in clinical research and does not require extensive set-up. The system requires no placement of any devices on the patient. • The movement analysis software must be capable of measuring Symmetry of Propulsion (SoP) with graphical display. SoP illustrates the relationship between single leg support (one leg on the ground by itself) and double leg support (both feet on the ground). • The movement analysis software must be capable of capturing and calculating Center of Pressure (COP) of the single leg COP and the stance COP and display in a way that can be readily understand by the users. • The electronic walkway and its movement analysis software must be capable of measuring transitional movements in a single test. It must require no editing and is easy to administer. The generated data must be available immediately after the patient testing is completed. The electronic walkway and its movement analysis software must be capable of measuring balance and postural control including Romberg, Limit of Stability (LOS), Tandem stance, sit to stand task and Single leg stance. • The vendor must provide a portable computer to be used only with the walkway system, provide over the phone installation of the software, web-based training session and technical supports.
