SAM is an add-on software module that provides an assortment of sway and balance parameters, such as weight bearing, symmetry, center of force, direction and amount of sway, and pressure distribution to analyze balance and sway.
SAM™ is an add-on software module for sway analysis, which requires one of the following systems/software to operate: FootMat™ Software, F-Scan™ System, or Strideway™ System. SAM is the ideal tool to analyze sway and assess postural stability by detecting and measuring key stability parameters that would otherwise be unseen by the naked eye. Sway analysis can help to uncover any underlying dysfunctions such as musculoskeletal and neurological problems.
What is Sway?Sway is the oscillating movement of the body, while posture is the relative alignment and orientation of the segments of the body. Sway analysis is a systematic assessment of the readiness and stability of the human body to achieve and maintain equilibrium. Sway plays an important role in the overall postural alignment and physical balance of the body and its analysis is critical in understanding how and why we sway in order to maintain posture and achieve balance.

SAM Applications for Clinicians and Researchers: |
|
|
|
SAM™ is an add-on for the following Tekscan systems and software:
|
Low-profile pressure sensing mat that captures static and dynamic pressure measurement data for foot function and gait analysis. |
|
|
|
Ultra-thin, in-shoe sensors capture timing and pressure information for foot function and gait analysis. |
The first truly modular gait analysis platform in the industry, providing objective information on force and plantar pressure and other parameters |
|
Collects static and dynamic pressure data for analyzing foot function and gait. Software includes automated analysis and reporting. Reports allow for easy communication of treatment plans with patients and insurance documentation. |
Contains the same core features as the FootMat Software for Clinicians, but with added analysis features, including data export to ASCII, AVI, Excel, and MATLAB®, additional calibration points, and synchronization to external devices (additional charges apply). |
