The sensor monitors not just range of motion but quality of motion along with recording pain point and pain scores and can identify if pain is muscular or joint related.
About
BPMpathway is a cost-effective remote patient assessment platform that supports orthopaedic patients through their preparation for surgery at enhanced recovery joint schools, during the acute hospital phase and crucially supports them throughout their rehabilitation, whilst at the same time providing clinicians with the vital data needed to assess their on-going recovery progress. Before a patient leaves hospital or during the pre-operative period, the clinician uses BPMpathway to create a personalised post-operative support programme to meet the patient’s individual needs, which they can undertake in the comfort of their own home. The programme, which a patient will typically be asked to undertake three times a day, is a combination of tests to determine pain, range and quality of motion and physiotherapy exercises to help with rehabilitation. During a test, a wireless BPMpro sensor worn on the limb under test streams data to the BPMpathway app on the patient’s tablet displaying the results on a live animated avatar, recording them for immediate on-screen graphical comparison. The data is also simultaneously transmitted automatically via the Cloud to the clinician to review progress and recovery trends. Easy-to-understand instructions and test set-up and exercise videos help the patient with their programme as the software progresses them through a defined path of what they need to do throughout the rehabilitation process. The patient-centric system is simple to use without any connection cables or needing to be connected to a TV. Advanced mathematics enable the use of a single sensor with a simple strap attachment and compensate for slight placement inaccuracies. The patient UI has been designed to be highly-intuitive and includes instruction videos, automated test start/stop and pain reporting. see www.bpmpathway.com
Key Benefits
Accurate, easy to use, patented technology to pin point pain and movement trends pre and post trauma. Developed initially for use in elite sport, then applied specifically to hip and knee recovery. Also the concept is now looking to be applied to smart workwear to analysis all key body joints 24/7 using remote power transfer methods for ease of charging and data transfer.
Applications
Support recovery post trauma. Helps to identify injury trends before serious injury occurs. Can be used in elite, professional and consumer sport training as well as medical use.
