Department of Paediatrics PT

1. Precision Assessment: Captures every step, jump, and movement
2. Real-Time Feedback: X Sens provides instant visual and auditory feedback during therapy sessions.
3. Customized Interventions : X Sens Gait Analysis enables us to create tailored interventions that address your child's specific challenges
4. Early Intervention: Catching developmental delays early is crucial. X Sensor empowers our therapists to detect subtle deviations in your child's movement, allowing us to start interventions at the optimal time for the best outcomes.
5. Motor Development Assessment: X Sens can be used to assess motor development milestones in children, such as crawling, walking, and running.
6. Balance and Coordination Training: X Sens can provide real-time feedback during balance and coordination exercises, making therapy sessions more engaging for children.
7. Posture and Gait analysis assessment

Department of Neuro PT

1. Assessment of Gait Abnormalities: Gait analysis sensors can precisely quantify gait abnormalities caused by neurological conditions like stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries.
2. Individualized Treatment Planning: Based on the gait analysis data, therapists can create personalized rehabilitation plans.
3. Predicting Falls: Gait analysis can provide insights into a patient's fall risk.
4. Post-Surgical Assessment: Gait analysis can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical interventions in neurological cases
5. Monitoring Progress of the patient: By regularly analyzing gait patterns using sensors, therapists can objectively track a patient's progress throughout the rehabilitation process.
6. Fall Prevention in Geriatric population
7. Posture and Gait analysis assessment

Department of Cardiorespiratory PT

1. Functional Assessment: Gait analysis can help assess the functional capacity of patients with cardiorespiratory issues.
2. Recovery Monitoring: After cardiac surgery or during pulmonary rehabilitation, monitoring gait can help track the recovery process.
3. Physical Activity Promotion: Encouraging physical activity is essential for cardiorespiratory rehabilitation.
4. Fall Risk Assessment: Certain cardiac and pulmonary conditions can increase the risk of falls due to reduced cardiovascular fitness, medication side effects, or dizziness.
5. Individualized Exercise Programs: X sens gait analysis data can inform the development of individualized exercise programs.
6. Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Integration: Integrating gait analysis into traditional cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs can enhance the comprehensive approach to patient care.
7. Research and Data Analysis: Gait analysis data collected from patients undergoing cardiorespiratory rehabilitation can contribute to research efforts.

Department of Sports Physiotherapy

1. Advanced Movement Insights: Our state-of-the-art X Sens technology offers unparalleled insights into your biomechanics.
2. Real-Time Feedback: X Sens provides instant visual feedback during rehabilitation exercises.
3. Functional Training: X Sens enables us to create functional exercises that mimic the demands of your specific sport.
4. Injury Prevention and back to sports : X Sens identifies potential movement patterns that could contribute to future injuries.
5. Performance Enhancement: Even when injury-free, X Sens can fine-tune your technique, boost efficiency, and enhance your athletic prowess.

Department of Community Health Physiotherapy

1. Gait Analysis: Identifying irregularities in gait can help in diagnosing mobility issues and falls risk.
2. Balance Assessment: X-Sens technology can assess balance during various tasks, such as standing, walking, or transitioning from sitting to standing. By monitoring body movements in real-time, it can detect balance deficits and guide interventions to improve stability.
3. Fall Risk Assessment: Falls are a significant concern for older adults. X-Sens can aid in identifying individuals at a higher risk of falling by analyzing their movement patterns. This information can inform fall prevention strategies and exercises.
4. Assistive Device Evaluation: For older adults using mobility aids like walkers or canes, X-Sens can evaluate how these devices impact gait and overall mobility.
5. Ergonomics and Home Modifications: X-Sens can assess how older adults interact with their home environment. This data can inform home modifications or assistive technologies that improve daily living and reduce fall risk.
