Technical Description |
The present technique provides a dynamic assessmentrehabilitation system for balance hypofunctionvertigo patients clinically. This development comprises four subsystems. The sensing subsystems were installed to measure the motions of the subjectsto convert those signals to interact with the control system. Furthermore, in the sensing subsystem, an inertial measurement unitan image module were used to observe posturemovement during the experiment. On the top of the frame of the platform, a monitor was used to implement the locomotionvisual acuity test. |
Scientific Breakthrough |
\"Compared to the current productsdevelopments in the market, this technology is a platform designed through the results of competitive analyses accumulated over a long period,thus has been developed to improve on the weaknesses of existing products in various aspects. The key featuresthe technological superiority of the development are listed as follows:1. Long-termsufficient clinical experience base2.Complete competitive analysisimprovement3.Modular sensor design4. Comprehensive balance function evaluation5. Auto-followinginteractive technology\" |
