MOTION ANALYSIS SOFTWARE

TEMPLO - Functional Movement Screening

Innovative solutions for Function and Movement Tests

TEMPLO Functional Movement Screening is based on the successful, easy-to-use and target-oriented TEMPLO motion analysis software. The analysis schemes (tests) which have been especially designed for analysing functional, sports and neurological movement abilities and skills, considerably facilitate the use of the TEMPLO software. The software guides you through the analysis of different test methods.

Tinetti Test

Application: Geriatrics and neurology. This test evaluates the balance and the quality of gait by means of subscales.

 Balance after strike on sternum
Balance:
● sitting balance
● rising from chairs
● standing (with eyes open and closed)
● sitting down
Turning 360°
Gait:
● step length, height, width
● step symmetry
● deviation from path
● step width
● trunk stability

Berg Balance Scale

Application: Geriatrics and patients with balance impairment. This test includes 14 different tasks

 standing on one leg
● change of position: sitting to standing to sitting
● sitting/ standing balance
● retrieving objects from floor
Transfer from one chair to another
● reaching forward while standing
● standing with heyes closed
● 360° rotation
● tandem standing

Dynamic Gait Index

Application: Geriatrics and patients with multiple sclerosis. This test includes 8 tasks to test the gait abilities.

 Step over obstacles
● gait level surface
● change in gait speed
● gait and pivot turn
 Step over obstacles
● gait with vertical head turns
