Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
|
Over 330,000 have MS in the U.S. Most patients
have difficulties with daily physical activity, such as problems with gait and
difficulty in walking, loss of balance. Physical activity level in MS patients
is an important indicator to the patients and to their physicians of the status
of their disease.
|
|
Evaluating the gait
disorders and providing individualized training/exercise can help most of these
problems. However, neither too much nor too little amount of physical activity
would help for the control of the disease. But the optimal type and mount of
physical activity and exercise for these patients remains an unsolved problem,
and this can only be resolved by obtaining individualized data of these
patients from a portable activity monitor such as the IDEEA.
|
|
As we learn more about the presentation of the
disease and its amelioration, we will be much more able to diagnose and treat
directly.
|
|
It’s critical to know
the progress and be able to predict the end-results of a patient’s physical
capabilities after treatments are prescribed. IDEEA is the perfect tool for
this application. IDEEA provides invaluable information regarding the entire
process of treatment, its progress and the outcome of the treatment.
|
|
For example, the
number of gaits made, the distance traveled, the speed of the walking and
running and the duration and intensity of step climbing can be recorded before,
during and after a treatment program. IDEEA enables the effectiveness of
tracking the therapy’s progress. With IDEEA the prognosis and functional level
of a patient compared to other patients with similar problems can all be known
objectively and accurately.
|
|
IDEEA is what researchers have been waiting for decades! It is the most
powerful and accurate device ever of its kind. The data analysis and
result presentation is astounding.
|
|
|
The birth of IDEEA creates a new era for studies in physical activity,
behavior and fitness. Truly remarkable!
