Neuro Musculo-skeletal (NMS) Force Analysis

Working with the Gatherer Partnership, The Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital is the first Centre in the world to offer neuro musculoskeletal (NMS) force analysis which combines physical medicine and Formula 1 technology to introduce substantial new levels of objective data analysis into the fields of rehabilitation, physical therapy, exercise, and sport.  NMS ANALYSIS LEAFLET (0.7MB)

The NMS Force Analyser

The introduction into physical medicine of technology capable of objective data collection, analysis, and rehabilitation monitoring has a ground-breaking impact for clinical management of the  neuro musculo-skeletal system. This new technology is called an NMS Force Analyser The analysis of data is paramount to clinical evaluation especially concerning nerve root lesions and the design of safe pre and post operative deficit specific rehabilitation programmes.  TOP OF PAGE

An objective tool to support decision making

Working closely with neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, and research institutions, The Gatherer Partnership and the Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital are setting new standards in the field of clinical evaluation. Accurate peak force and fatigue rating of voluntary muscle contraction data is being used to diagnose injuries and provide data to make critical decisions relating to clinical management, including the need for surgical intervention, if indicated.

The GP Harness Systems

The GP Harness has been specifically designed for exercising and strengthening different muscle groups, with careful consideration given to preventing injury during use. The harness fits over the appropriate area of the body and, utilising a range of different attachments, over 250kg of force can be applied by either an operator, the user, or by weights.

The GP Wireless Loadcell

Derived from F1 measurement technology, the wireless loadcell provides force measurement data at 200 times per second. Transmitted wirelessly to the PC, the data from the loadcell provides accurate and repeatable results up to 200kg under tension and 100kg in compression (resolution of 0.1kg), ensuring precise diagnosis and patient assessments at all levels. Lightweight and wireless, it is easily portable. Simple operation and PC interface allows a physio to focus on the patient. Highly accurate and repeatable results are achieved. TOP OF PAGE

 
The Neuro Musculo Skeletal (NMS) Force Analyser - Identifying Clinical Needs
 
With additional rehabilitation programmes and training sessions available, the NMS Force Analyser takes diagnostics and treatment options to the next level.

The proprietary software receives this data and displays a real time graph for instant feedback as well as allowing for post treatment analysis of all data.

The software allows for several modes, including profiling, endurance, rehabilitation, multiple channel support and automatic report generation.  Objective analysis offers significant cost and efficiency savings in diagnosis, rehabilitation and health. TOP OF PAGE
