myometricslab The Ultimate Biomechanics Lab
ASSESSED, QUANTIFIED & VERIFIED Noraxon USA provides market-leading technology for measurement and training devices, such as EMG, gait analysis, biofeedback, 2D video and 3D motion analysis. This enables a unique approach to a fully equipped analysis and therapy concept for clinical and research applications. Noraxon continues its 25-year tradition in being the leader in Human Performance Measurement Solutions. The introduction of Noraxon s myometrics: Human Performance Lab brings an integrated approach to measuring human performance. This provides insight that allows for a deeper look at what the root causes are and the ability to fine tune the biomechanics of the entire kinetic chain. INSIGHT Biomechanical analysis has become an important part of identifying the root cause of physical problems. Healthcare professionals recognize this type of analysis as being a helpful guide in identifying and suggesting treatment options and in pre/post-surgical decision making. This technology gives insight into precisely how injuries can be prevented and treated. While patient history is still an important part of treating an injury, a computerized biomechanical analysis plays an important role in sports, rehabilitation and clinical diagnostics. Establish a base line Focus treatment based on findings Quantitatively and objectively track progress
APPLICATION AREAS DIABETES Identify hot spots to prevent plantar ulcers. ELDERLY Detect skeletal weaknesses early. FALL PREVENTION Identify those with a risk of falling and proactively address. HYDROCEPHALUS Gait abnormalities are an early clinical sign of the need for surgery or gauging the effectiveness of the surgery. KNEE INJURY Measure range of motion and muscle asymmetries. NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS Stride length and frequency are predictive in disease progression (Parkinson s, Cerebral Palsy, MS, spinal cord injury). OSTEOARTHRITIS Document progress or lack thereof. PROSTHETICS Identify specific problems and adjust design and alignment. SPORTS Prevention, detection, treatment and rehabilitation after injuries and damages caused during sport. STROKE Certain gait parameters following a stroke will mirror a patient s overall functional recovery.

VIDEO ANALYSIS Automatic angle tracking, gait analysis and sports performance 3D MOTION Assess range of motion, movement patterns and orientation without cameras and completely wireless SURFACE EMG Measure muscle activation, symmetry, coordination and biofeedback training therapy small and wireless PRESSURE ANALYSIS Walking, running, jumping, lifting, stair climbing and other functional activities can be measured
2D Video Analysis: MyoVideo Medical video analysis system with the latest video and industry leading software allowing for automatic angle tracking. This is the perfect solution for clinical gait and motion analysis. An all-in-one extremely robust video analysis tool. Portable Pressure Plate: FDM-S/SX Portable, multi-function pressure platform for gait, stance or pressure analysis. Force Distribution Measurement Treadmill: FDM-T Instrumented treadmill that allows for the analysis of force/pressure distribution during standing, walking and running. Pressure Insoles: Medilogic Instrumented and durable pressure instrumented insoles to measure walking, running, jumping, cutting, stair climbing, etc. 3D Inertial Sensors: MyoMotion Cutting edge full-body 3D kinematic system in which our miniature sensors are attached to the user selectable body segments, including head, upper/lower arm, hands, thoracic, trunk, pelvis, thigh, shank and feet to process and display all kinematic and kinetic data of these body segments in real time. Surface EMG: Research, Scientific and Clinical Applications Surface EMG is a reliable, quantifiable and easy solution to measure muscle activity within any clinical, research or sports performance setting. EMG objectively measures and records neuromuscular function and makes it easy to identify dysfunction, based on the firing patterns of the muscles. Up to 32 muscles can be measured wirelessly. In addition, a variety of biomechanical sensors, such as, goniometers, foot switches, accelerometers and heart/breathing rate can be added.
