The system's gait sensing technology needs to automatically detect the foot position, walking speed, and changes in terrain to provide stimulation precisely when needed. This will be used for both inpatient and outpatient SCI patients who have motor or sensory deficits. SCI physical therapists will use this system for patient assessment and development of a neurorehabilitation treatment plan. This will determine if a patient is appropriate for the device for a prosthetic prescription for home use. UNIQUE SALIENT CHARACTERISTIC REQUIREMENTS All offers shall include ALL the following in order to be considered. Gait sensing technology to automatically detect foot position, walking speed, and changes in terrain. Multi-channel that enables clinicians to adjust dorsiflexion and inversion/eversion. Tablet with software must be included with a user-friendly interface to improve the therapist s efficiency and maximize their productivity. No other computer solutions will be acceptable. Sensor in the cuff instead of in the patient s shoe to allow them to go barefoot. A mobile iOS application designed to empower home users to set goals and tracking recovery progress. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- END OF DOCUMENT
