Case Study: Lower Limb Load Measurement - Kiwa Hospital

We would like to introduce a case study of "Kiwa Hospital," which is committed to healthcare and nursing that values the brilliance of life (QOL).

It is actively used in the field of occupational therapy, and we have received detailed comments on its applications and implementation effects, particularly regarding safe and proactive weight training in daily life situations. It is the ideal measuring device when you want to know the unloading or weight during rehabilitation. It realizes the visualization of load and improves the quality of rehabilitation with Sokumaru! If you are interested in the lower limb weight measurement device "Sokumaru," please take a look!

basic information

● Step-by-step load measurement is possible With sensors built into one foot, measurements can be taken in real-time, step by step. The measured data is transmitted to a dedicated app in real-time. ● Load reduction instructions and weight range specifications are possible By simply pressing the buttons for "1/3, 1/2, 2/3, full load," you can easily set load reduction instructions. The target load can be specified within upper and lower limits, allowing for a gradual step-up in daily rehabilitation. (Example) Day 1: 15–30kg Day 2: 18–30kg Day 3: 20–30kg ● Visual and auditory feedback When the set load weight is exceeded, the color of the scale on the screen changes, making it easy for patients to understand. Notifications are also provided via a buzzer, allowing rehabilitation to be conducted relying solely on sound. ● User registration and output of measurement results Patients' names and weights can be registered, and by selecting the registered patient on the screen, there is no need to reset the settings each time. Measurement results can be output as an Excel file, enabling accurate evaluations. 【Main target cases】 Lower limb fractures (such as femur or tibia), hemiplegia due to stroke, artificial knee joints, etc.
