Case Study: Lower Limb Load Measurement - Ota Hospital

We would like to introduce a case study of "Ota Hospital," which provides medical treatment and primary and secondary emergency care, primarily in Minokamo City, Gifu Prefecture, and its surrounding areas.

We have received detailed comments on the challenges of load training on-site and the convenience after implementation, along with actual usage applications. It is the ideal measuring device when you want to know about unloading or load 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 load meter "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 sent to a dedicated app in real-time. ● Load release 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 release 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 measurement result output You can register the patient's name and weight, 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, allowing for accurate evaluations. 【Main target cases】 Lower limb fractures (such as femur or tibia), hemiplegia due to stroke, artificial knee joints, etc.
