Dear Leslie Daigle,
| Introducing SAM to Assess Balance, Posture & Sway |
 |
|
We are pleased to introduce the Sway Analysis
Module (SAM) for assessing
the
relationship between posture and sway. It is the ideal
tool for balance and sway analysis because it can
detect
movement that would otherwise be unseen by the
naked eye. With SAM you
can:
- Observe how the sensory feedback systems
function, allowing you to understand how the body
achieves and maintains balance
- Conduct sway analysis studies to investigate the
conditions that affect sway, posture, and balance
- Assess and document the amount of sway and
weight
bearing distribution pattern a patient has before and
after treatment

| Treating Bilateral Psuedoequinus |
 |
|
Dr. Michael DeBrule of Marshall, MN treated a
59 year old male who presented with burning bilateral
forefoot pain of gradual onset for at least one year. He
was unable to walk more than 2 blocks because of
his pain and had stopped taking daily walks that he
previously enjoyed.
Examination A complete exam revealed a
high arch foot, normal
ankle
range of motion, and a shorter right leg. He had
bilateral psuedoequinus (forefoot much lower than
rearfoot) with pain to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
metatarsalphalangeal joints. Treadmill gait analysis
demonstrated early loading of the
forefoot with heel strike almost foot flat and functional
hallux limitus present.
Prescription Dr. DeBrule prescribed
orthotics based on his
examination and the data he received from the
F-Scan.
Result After a two-week follow-up, the
patient's
pain had decreased about 40%. After a six-week
follow-up, the patient was pain free and walking 2
miles per day.

| Walkway for Osteoarthritis Screening in Canines |
 |
|
Tekscan's Walkway system is used to
assist in
the diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) in
canines.
"Dogs
suspected of, or known to suffer from, OA will have (1)
painless, static
and dynamic pressure measurements taken to
determine signs of lameness, using state-of-the-art
Tekscan Walkway diagnosing equipment and
(2) a
concurrent, dynamic video recording as the Tekscan
Walkway measurements are made."
