Performance testing is an important basis to successfully design your training schedule as a recreational- or endurance sportsmen. With the workshops of Fokus:Diagnostik you get a detailed look at the range of opportunities performance testing and its parameters can give you. Experienced sports scientists and performance diagnosticians convey the theoretical basics combined with important practical application examples.

There are various applications for gait analysis but every single one is aiming at improving the patients gait, health and well-being.
Vienna based rehab clinic Wien Baumgarten performs initial gait analysis on each of their orthopaedic patients up on their arrival to have the most precise status quo to base their work on.

Few days ago, our exclusive distributor in France MGC Diagnostics installed a pulsar treadmill including safety arch and long handrail at the Hospital D’Arles Joseph Imbert in southern France.
 
Going forward, the system will be a great tool for the local team for performance analytics as well as cardiac diagnostics.
 
We would like to thank MGC Diagnostics for the great work!

Many runners and athletes face pain during or after their training sessions. Well-known German doctor and author of the "running bible" Dr. med. Matthias Marquardt joined forces with Artzt to analyse the most relevant of these problems, to demonstrate therapies and sum these up in short videos.

The webinar started with a theoretical overview on the topic before the live patient got introduced. During the following practical session on the treadmill, various applications could be demonstrated including gait-analysis via zebris pressure distribution measurement and visual cueing, overspeed training with manual unweighting (via arm-support) as well as active gait correction with the robowalk system.

The webinars were held in German language.

Metabolic testing in physiology labs is the key to understanding how our body burns fuel!

Triathletes, Ironmen and ultra-endurance athletes perform on an outstanding level. At that level of sports performance, it is sometimes few percent in performance that mean the difference between winning and losing. Loughborough University has most recently published an interesting overview about Ironman, triathlon and ultra-endurance performance energy consumption and their metabolic testing.

In 30 minutes time, Sabine Lamprecht (M.Sc. Neurorehabilitation) approached the topic very practically before she answer the audience's questions.
 
Major topics of the second webinar were:
- dedicated approaches for stroke, multiple sclerosis, parkinson's disease and geriatric patients
- gait- and treadmill therapy in spasticity
- gait- and treadmill therapy in ataxia

While most parameters, e.g. stride time, stride length and stride frequency showed excellent validity, some parameters became faulty (e.g. contact time) due to the height difference between the position of the bars and the treadmill surface. As a result, the study suggested to incorporate a correction factor, which is already available and can be set in the software, called GaitR-In and GaitR-Out filter.
 
We would, as an addition, like to highlight two available improvements in this context:
