Gait analysis

RestoKnee Hospital in Ahmedabad, Gujarat has partnered with SynerSenseⓇ in 2021 to offer an Instrumented gait analysis laboratory for patients with osteoarthritis (OA).

RestoKnee is one of the first hospitals in Gujarat, and Among the Top in Bharat (India) to offer innovative and highly advanced technology, a wearable and portable 3D motion capture gait analysis lab for OA patients in healthcare settings,

RestoKnee is the only hospital in Gujarat to offer Gait Analysis service using the SynerSenseⓇ innovative and highly Advanced Technology, called as MoveAxon Digital Health, 3D motion capture gait analysis that is invented by i-Fellow SIB, from AIIMS-New Delhi, IITian Alumni and Clinian Team who are highly qualified innovators, scientists and total 30+ yrs of Healthcare Industry Experts. 

TheSynerSense product, MoveAxon Highly Advanced Gait Laoratory system is the first of its kind in Gujarat installation at Restoknee Hospital and one of only a few in India.

RestoKnee is committed to providing the best possible care for its patients, and the addition of gait analysis is a significant step in that direction. The SynerSense product, MoveAxon Product is a state-of-the-art technology that will allow RestoKnee to provide its patients with the most accurate information for Knee Kinematics and Fixed-Deformity (FD) analysis in FD-Supine and FD-Standing studies. However, Gait analysis is a valuable digital health tool for assessing the impact of OA on a patients ability to walk in pre and post-operative conditions. The data collected during gait analysis can be used to identify areas of dysfunction and develop treatment plans that can help to improve a patients quality of life.

The SynerSense technology, MoveAxon is a portable and wireless digital motion capture Instrumented gait analysis system that can be used in clinical settings to assess the Biomechanical of Knee and gait kinematics in patients with OA. The MoveAxon gait analysis system provides data on joint alignment, range of motion, and muscle activation patterns, which can be used to identify areas of dysfunction and develop customized treatment plans.

Key benefits of SynerSense product - MoveAxon for 3D gait analysis for OA patients:

  • Identify areas of dysfunction:Gait analysis can help to identify areas of dysfunction in the gait pattern, such as reduced range of motion, muscle weakness, or abnormal joint alignment. This information can be used to develop treatment plans that can help to improve a patients gait and reduce pain.
  • Improve the quality of life:Gait analysis can help to improve a patients quality of life by reducing pain, improving mobility, and increasing independence.
  • Reduce the risk of surgery:Gait analysis can help to identify patients who are at risk for surgery. This information can be used to develop non-surgical treatment plans that can help to avoid surgery and its associated risks.

If you are a patient with OA, talk to your doctor for MoVeAxon - 3D gait analysis study as soon as possible to restore your Knee naturally to improve your quality of life.

WHY Gait Analysis for OA Pts

In the current scenario, Osteoarthritis of the knee is mainly treated by a total knee replacement  (TKR) in Country India and worldwide. 

The Majority of patients following partial or full TKR do not experience a Natural Knee Joint. Significantly, this shows the reasons that up to 20% (between 15% and 30% – remain dissatisfied) of TKR patients are dissatisfied, and over 50% have residual symptoms or serious complications post-TKR within six months to a one-year timeline, despite the fact is improvement in surgical approach and implant design.

Among them, the Mechanical Alignment approach for Bio-Mechanical Alignment (BMA) of Knee Joint still has its limitations, and patients dissatisfactions still persist. Despite these benefits, several authors have reported an inability to consistently and accurately position the femoral component in terms of internal/external rotation in the axial plane which is one of the crucial Knee joint movements that can be only analysed using MoveAxon technology.

First time in India, RestoKneeⓇ has introduced a proprietary surgical technique with an innovative advanced functional clinical assessment with value-added  Kinematic Assessment (KA) of Knee Joint Gait Analysis with SynerSenseⓇ Motion Capture System (SynerSenseⓇ technology) in pre-operative conditions to provide better planning in advance, restoration of the individual and preserving Knee Joints naturally as it is. Hence, the native Knee Kinematics movement restores and improves the Range of Motion (ROM) in Walking, Knee Bending, and squat activities in ADL.

A return to normal and natural knee joints gait kinematics post-operative RestoKneeⓇ will lead to improving clinical outcomes and greater patient satisfaction, most importantly 100% preserving the natural knee without Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Moreover, the post-operative  Knee Joint Gait Kinematics Assessment and spatial-temporal parameters using SynerSenseⓇ to be performed to measure improvements in clinical outcomes and objectively quantitatively compare knee kinematics parameters during gait analysis a return to normal gait kinematics parameters. Thus, knee preservation has been avoided for quite a long time which has many benefits over total knee replacements with good to excellent results.

Do you know the key benefits of Kinematical Assessment (KA) of Knee Joint Gait Assessment using SynerSenseⓇ motion capture device;

  • Pre-surgical planning and biomechanical measurements of Knee Joint Fixed Flexion Deformity (FFD) in Standing and Supine positions
  • Tibia (and Femoral) component internal-external rotation improvement in post-operation 
  • Knee Braces customization of an individual based on knee kinematics measurements Post-operative Therapy planning
  • Post-operative Therapy planning
  • Monitor the improved clinical outcome of FFD and the knee joint Range of Motion in Lateral, frontal and transverse plane: gait kinematics in pre and post-operative conditions.
