ShadowSense™
3D Rehabilitation
Technology Overview
Rehabilitation Technology Overview
Post injury, joint replacement, and stroke recovery protocols all focus intensively on returning a patient to health through comprehensive physical therapy. Whether the goal is to return range of motion, strengthen the area of injury, or help rebuild neural pathways, a critical element of success the ability to accurately measure improvement in the patients performance. One challenge frequently encountered with physical rehabilitation has been the availability of quantitative measurement at a reasonable cost.
ShadowSense™ technology is capable of providing patients with real time feedback on their range of motion by tracking the movements of the limbs and extremities in 3D space, with great accuracy and at a moderate cost.
Features
A ShadowSense™ based system tracks multiple, independent sources IR point sources in real time. Located in a predetermined configuration on a limb strap, this system has the ability to resolve up to 6 Degrees of Freedom (X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch and roll data) for each strap, providing the patient and therapist explicit and unparalleled detail on limb positioning and movement. Limb straps are low cost and if necessary, disposable, minimizing the risk of infection for patients with recent surgery or compromised immune systems.
With positional resolution of 1mm or less in a 5 ft x 5 ft x 5 ft volume, the system can be used in a broad variety of facilities. A system can be laptop based, portable, and easy to deploy. Limited or zero calibration is required upon setup, even after transportation, allowing for most efficient use of a therapist’s time.
Its low cost enables home deployments which allow patients to maintain independent exercise and stretching routines. Remote access and data reporting allows therapists to maintain exercise discipline, track progress, and proactively intervene with a patient independent of scheduled visits.
ShadowSense™ is a revolutionary new 2D and 3D tracking technology that will produce highly effective and accurate results at a cost well below that of systems currently on the market. Although tracking systems have been in existence for some time, the existing implementations are both over complex and typically extremely expensive, putting them outside of the reach of many low - cost applications that would benefit greatly from such technology.
Based on a proprietary imaging technology, ShadowSense™ tracking technology is capable of accurately measuring the position of a given object’s “shadow”. By determining the relative angle and other characteristics of the shadow cast by an object, the object’s position in space can be fixed. The simplicity and effectiveness of Baanto’s technology offers significant advantages over competing technologies across a range of applications.
