It is a typical stabilometric platform with three load cells arranged along a circumference at an angular distance of 120°.
The fibreglass platform allows collecting data on the position of the centre of gravity (barycentre) of a patient and then assessing stability. A multilingual, specific software is supplied. This device can be integrated in either Physical Analyzer or the GPS 100 posture analysis system.
The software allows:
performing a static examination, determining the patient's position, centring and barycentre;
performing a dynamic examination, determining frequency, direction of postural oscillation, "Fourier" analysis on the patient's transverse and longitudinal movements, and examinations of head and eye movements, occlusal movements, sub-occipital rachidian receptors.
INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
The anomalies taht will appear in the graphs will be interpreted to help determine the necessary treatment. Problems of a structural nature, cranio-sacral, visceral problems, etc. shall be addressed by osteopaths, chiropractors or therapists.
The decisive influence of a vestibular problem (Postural Romberg test) will involve otorhinolarynology.
An ophthalmologist shall be consulted if the eye-tracking examination shows a significant variation of the barycentre.
Differences in values between the open and closed mouth and any descending problems will require an intervention by an odontologist.
diagnosis of vertebral problems (lumbago, cervicalgia, trauma outcomes, etc.) will call for orthopaedists and physiatrists.
A podologist/osteopath shall be responsible of treating ascending problems of a podalic nature.
The Stabilometric Platform can be exetremely useful in the field of legal medicine to recognize real situations in which whiplashes may have occurred, distinguishing them from simulated accidents.
