Clinical Research System (CRS)™

Clinical Research SystemThe clinical efficacy of NeuroCom EquiTest and SMART EquiTest Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) systems, the recording capabilities of the NeuroCom Dual Top™ force plate from AMTI, and NeuroCom’s dynamic research software package are combined in the new Clinical Research System (CRS).

The CRS systems provide the researcher with objective documentation of the balance control functions (sensory as well as voluntary and reflexive motor) in the population to be studied, the ability to design complex sensory and motor challenges to emulate real world conditions, and full access to the detailed force response data (X, Y and Z components) to accurately demonstrate the impact of those challenges on human balance performance.

Research Software Package

User programmable operating system for flexibility in designing research protocols. User can specify:

  • Independent control of force plate and surround movements
  • Waveform
  • Mathematical function
  • Look-up tables
  • Step or ramp function
  • Sway referencing
  • Movement onset delay
  • Trial duration
  • Cursor display

Data from the AMTI force plate and motor positions can be exported to a text delimited file for easy access by statistical packages.

Clinical Software Package

User can select standardized assessment protocols and compare to normative data:

Sensory Organization Test (SOT)
Motor Control Test (MCT)
Adaptation Test (ADT)
Weight Bearing Squat (WBS)

Limits of Stability (LOS)
Rhythmic Weight Shift (RWS)
Unilateral Stance (US)
