Assistive walking devices are constantly gaining value in rehabilitation markets. The German Sports University Cologne recently published a study on non-electric assistive walking devices powered by a cam-spring mechanism, directly worn by orthopaedic and neurological patients.

The results indicate that patients benefit in terms of increased gait quality (step length, cadence and hip flexion improved during the assisted walking), while muscle activity stays unaffected by the assistive device.

When it comes to performance testing, h/p/cosmos treadmills are the tool of choice for most leading sports clubs, training facilities and universities around the globe. 

Speeding up or slowing down a treadmill, changing or lowering elevation can be difficult and distracting when running or cycling at higher speeds. To solve this, we developed an automatic speed and elevation control system for our treadmills based on the athlete’s position by combining the proven coscom protocol and the localization of the subject via Microgate Optogait/Optojump bars.

The system is called h/p/cosmos speedcontrol and we are looking forward to sharing further details and insights soon!

Professionelle Leistungsdiagnostik im Spitzensport und der Bundesliga findet meistens hinter verschlossenen Türen statt. Das Team von „freekickerz“, einem der größten Deutschen YouTube Kanäle, hat sich diesen Leistungstests im UKE Athleticum Hamburg gestellt und sich selbst mit der Kamera dabei begleitet. Entstanden sind beeindruckende Bilder.

Learn how to seamlessly integrate gaitway 3d force, torque and pressure data into Qualisys QTM 2021.2 software.
Dr. Björn Zimmermann (h/p/cosmos) and Guillaume Bastien (Arsalis) are going to give an application focussed introduction to this amazing feature!

Moments are crucial and literally every second counts, when it comes to a stroke. The World Stroke Organisation has rolled out its #timeisprecious campaign for 2021 to raise awareness for the signs of a stroke and the necessity of immediate emergency care.

More than 15 Million people around the globe suffer from a stroke every year. Even though most of them are adults, also children can be affected. With the neuronal system getting harmed, communication and motoric disabilities can be affected and survivors might even stay in need of care.
