Sponsored by the Defense Health Agency, FTL’s SPARO (Sensorized Prosthetic Alignment Read-Out) provides clinicians and researchers a tool that enables quantitative measurements of prosthetic alignment and the effects it has on the rest of the body’s motions and dynamics through whole body gait and movement analysis.
Cutting-edge wearable motion capture technology provides immediate feedback to the prosthetist through a custom software interface, providing load transfer and kinematics data between the residual limb and external environment, along with whole body modeling. These objective measurements enable data-driven adjustments that will not only arrive at the best results but will get there faster than traditional methods by using machine learning in concert with SPARO’s proprietary alignment guide in a virtual 3D environment.
This new ability to precisely align prosthetic components also enables apples to apples comparisons of different prosthetic limbs, across specific patient populations. Further, full body biomechanics analysis can be performed using SPARO’s inexpensive precision motion capture technology. SPARO is the cutting edge of prosthetic limb adjustment technology.
