Bertec Instrumented Treadmill v5 (FIT5)
Overview
Spilt belt treadmill with two integrated force plates. Bertec's Fully Instrumented Treadmill is designed to reduce gait laboratory space requirements
and eliminate the limitations inherent in a traditional gait walkway
How it Works
The split-belt treadmill has two belts which can be controlled independently, each half having its own 6-modular incline feature that can be added to the system for uphill and downhill analysis of movements. The control electronics incorporate medically isolated transformers.
* Independent 6-component load measurement from each belt (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mx).
* Independent motion control of individual belts in both directions.
* No signal interference from outside sources with 100% digital encoding
* Full software solution allows easy control of treadmill and creation of custom experimental protocols
* Industry leading accuracy
