Italy BTS Biomechanical Motion Analysis System

BTS FREEEMG brings the diagnostic technology of surface electromyography (Surface EMG) analysis into a brand new and revolutionary realm. BTS FREEEMG is the world's first wireless transmission technology-based electromyography signal acquisition device, with each detection electrode containing 16 miniaturized probes, weighing only 7.5 grams. The corresponding mobile receiver for each detection electrode weighs only 240 grams and can be placed on the patient, on a table, or carried by the physician, allowing for the reception of electromyography signals collected by the active electrodes at any time. BTS FREEEMG uses the latest wireless transmission technology, allowing for quick placement on specific muscle groups of the patient, providing greater comfort, and eliminating interference caused by carrying a receiver box and tangled wires while the patient moves.

With a variable geometric probe design and a special unobtrusive wearing method, as well as a lightweight design, it can collect electromyography signals for various motion analyses (such as walking, running, or jumping) or different types of subjects (such as children) without changing the original motion patterns of the subjects. BTS FREEEMG, in conjunction with powerful software like Myolab or Myolab Clinic, can visualize electromyography signals, process data, and output reports in various formats. With Myolab, deeper analysis of electromyography signals can be performed, such as localized muscle fatigue detection. In collaboration with Myolab Clinic, BTS FREEEMG can be applied in the assessment of patients with neurological pathology, orthopedic pathology, pharmacological therapy, and functional deficits in movement, providing comprehensive rehabilitation tracking and treatment.

High-precision digital optical system suitable for all types of movements.

BTS SMART-D (High-frequency digital system for biomechanical motion analysis) is a newly designed high-resolution digital optical system that can be applied to any form of motion for analysis, with higher accuracy than ever before. This system is a significant evolution of the SMART system, which has already been adopted by researchers worldwide. Due to structural improvements, high-performance calibration systems, and a newly designed three-dimensional data reconstruction process, SMART-D can capture rapid and even subtle movements using the most advanced technology. The new generation of digital cameras is not only lighter in appearance but also features more powerful flash frequency lighting technology, significantly increasing the effective detection range and enabling use in well-lit or outdoor sunny environments.

The analysis software SMARTAnalyzer can synchronize and integrate signals collected from other analog signal devices (such as force plates, electromyography acquisition devices, treadmills, etc.) with kinematic data. SMARTAnalyzer also has customizable report formats that can automatically display all the data needed for a complete motion analysis, allowing users to easily and efficiently create personalized report formats. Additionally, multimedia report formats can be printed, output, or shared online as needed, transmitting signals. Therefore, BTS SMART-D is the most advanced equipment technology in research, sports, and industrial applications. It also holds an irreplaceable position in academic or clinical biomechanics, sports mechanics, robotics, motorsports, computer graphics, virtual reality, etc., due to its high integrity, flexible application, and precision.

Measurement and evaluation of the respiratory system OEP (Opto-Electronic Plethysmography).

The system measures the state of the respiratory system by recording chest movement. In particular, specially designed cameras can accurately measure the 3D positions of reflective markers placed on the thorax; by using the world's most advanced algorithms, the OEP system provides accurate changes in the thorax during breathing. The OEP system showcases breakthrough technology by obtaining unique data—without rigid constraints and without the need to set up instruments at the patient's or athlete's mouth and nose, it can accurately measure the required data.

It can measure changes in lung capacity during breathing over sustained and long-term conditions, while allowing for continuous quantification of dynamic expansion without the need for large movements in breathing and significant sleep issues. — The respiratory system is divided into different regions for precise measurement (i.e., upper and lower ribs and abdomen, left and right sides of the thorax), allowing for quantification of changes in the thorax and phase delays in different intervals. The BOEP system is a non-invasive measurement system, thus overcoming the limitations and conditions typically used in respiratory system evaluation, allowing it to be used in various postures (sitting, standing, lying on the back, lying face down) and applicable in various activities such as: resting, exercising, sleeping, infant monitoring, singing, playing musical instruments, etc.

Clinical motion analysis integration solution.

BTS Elite allows clinicians, surgeons, and athletic trainers to conduct multifactor dynamic analyses while obtaining objective and quantitative data that traditional measurement methods cannot achieve. This system is a patented process handling software used in surgical procedures, providing highly valuable diagnostic data and monitoring tools, and can also be used to verify the efficacy of pharmacological or rehabilitation treatments, as well as to perform quantitative analysis of the effects after athletic training.

BTS Elite can integrate kinematic data with force plates, EMG, and other analog signal devices. By analyzing all synchronized data parameters, it can accurately assess how a patient uses muscle contractions and the ground reaction forces during movement, achieving mutual changes in force and torque between joints and segments. Through the BTS Elite System, more complete and precise result reports can be obtained compared to current general-level analysis systems, and all processes can be completed in just 30 minutes. Using this objective motion analysis measurement system for multiple assessment tests can lead to more appropriate decisions in treatment strategies before and after, minimizing the risk of complications.
