FOR WHOM is Pondus®?
For people who wishes to gain further insight into the weight bearing and balance over time. The Pondus® allows for angle measurement of the foot in the footplate. The Pondus® is compatible with R82 standing devices.
Furthermore, the Pondus® can:
• Quick and easy position of Pondus® in the sandals.
• Fast and easy setup between the App and Pondus® plates.
• Create reports in pdf and csv file format and share it.
HOW does Pondus® work?
The Pondus® measures the forces going down the Pondus® plate and samples multiple times each second to detect small changes in weight bearing. The data is rendered as a chart allowing the user to see the changes over time. The angle
HOW does Pondus® help me?
The Pondus® can be used as guidance to ensure the desired force being applied on the Pondus® plate by changing the amount of support provided to the user by the standing frame to obtain a certain degree of weightbearing through the lower extremities or distribution of weightbearing between the legs.
Instrumented standing frames have been used in experimental settings and have documented a large variation in percentage of body weight from 23-133%, which could indicate misuse and/or measurement error.
