FAQs

Our wireless systems operate in a specifically approved ISM (Industry, Science, Medical) frequency band intended for such applications. The details are governed by EMC Directive 89/336/EEC.

There are programs that record what happens on the screen and save it in formats such as AVI or SWF.

The number of sensors depends on shoe size and ranges from about 100 (size 37) to about 200 (size 47) sensors per foot; the FLEX insole has around 1 sensor per cm?.

They are surface-resistive pressure sensors, i.e., as the load on the sensor increases, the electrical resistance at the sensor decreases.

To achieve high accuracy, each sensor is calibrated individually before delivery. The resulting characteristic curves are stored in tables in the insole or plate electronics. The calibration curves should be checked at regular intervals. We recommend sending the sensors to the manufacturer at least once a year or after 5,000 loads/steps for computer-assisted multi-point calibration. Calibration or adjustment before each measurement is not necessary.

The standard delivery includes five pairs of measurement insoles in five sizes. You can choose from sizes 19/20 to 49/50.

Comprehensive customer support beyond delivery: detailed training of operating personnel during installation on the customer's hardware (no extra charge), advice on system usage including marketing questions (no extra charge), and direct support by development engineers via telephone hotline (standard phone tariff).

In addition to the statutory two-year warranty period for defects due to faulty materials or workmanship, we provide a one-year additional EU manufacturer's warranty.

For our foot pressure measurement systems, we offer a free system check with sensor calibration one year after delivery and a free software update one year after delivery.

The system remains state of the art and is regularly maintained through an affordable service contract for maintenance and repair starting in the second year after delivery (includes calibration with ISO 9001 certificate, repair labor, and software updates).

Pressure distribution is evaluated using the following graphical displays: sensor display, isobar color gradient (2D), and mountain color display (3D).

The program provides the following standard evaluations: maximum pressure, average pressure, pressure impulse, gait lines, cyclogram (course of the body/pressure center).

Additional gait analysis evaluations include a time graph (pressure/time diagram) and DSP dynamics (course of the center of pressure over the measurement time).

The basis for gait analysis is the calculation of a typical average step for the subject. A measurement provides a sequence of steps. Using a mathematical method, an average step is calculated from these individual steps. The pressure-time diagram of this average step is evaluated both for individual foot regions and for different measurements in comparison. Based on many years of experience in technically supported gait analysis, medilogic selected key parameters relevant for practical evaluation. These are primarily parameters derived from the load distribution on the foot (pressure impulse). In addition, general parameters such as speed, stride length, and stance phase duration are determined. To make evaluation and assessment easier, the medilogic system provides comparative values for normal gait, and deviations are highlighted in color.

The comparison of two measurements (before and after a fitting) is possible through graphical juxtaposition.

Embedding a video image from a digital video camera is possible (optional software module); alternatively, there is an interface for synchronous recording/evaluation with the SimiMoStill video analysis software.

The medilogic program is suitable for network use, with multiple installations on workstations at no additional cost. A sensible network installation is carried out by our service technician upon delivery. Access to measurement data is possible from other computers via a network connection.

The transfer of individual or grouped measurements is possible to various storage media; data transfer by email is also possible.

A data export interface for transferring pressure measurements to milling systems is available. Currently supported interfaces: GloboCAD, PedCad, IETEC, ComfortSpline, OrthoFit, Go-Tech. Adaptations to additional milling systems are offered on request at no extra charge.

A data import interface for customer data from customer management systems is available. Currently supported interfaces: Cosinos, Paedus, OrthoTronic, OrthoPro, Dicompacs, TopM, opta data, Cosi Txt, GDT, BRUNIE, Acriba, THEDEX, Sani Concept, MM-Orthosoft, TEMI_TBI-Soft.

Adaptations to additional customer management systems are offered on request at no extra charge. Patient data can also be read from the chip card. From version 5.2, medilogic also works with the new card readers for the electronic health card.

The medilogic system is supplied in a transport case. Using a mobile laptop provides full mobility for use in a wide variety of locations.

Measurement data is transmitted wirelessly. It is an online transmission of the complete measurement data, so feedback is displayed for examiner and patient during acquisition and there is no need for later transfer from storage media.

Measurement control is also wireless from the PC. This significantly simplifies handling of the measurement process.

The use of wireless technology in medical environments is fully safe. In accordance with the EC declaration of conformity, applicable directives and standards are met and thus the permitted limits for wireless transmission are complied with. This allows safe use of the medilogic system in hospitals and, for example, for people with pacemakers.

Similar to the "pager" devices used in hospitals, our devices have relatively low transmit power. In principle, the medilogic system operates in a frequency range (ISM band: industry - science - medical) specifically designated for measurement applications in these areas throughout Europe.
