User report: Rosenkranz&Scherer, Kelkheim
In November 2005, the medical store Rosenkranz&Scherer opened a new branch shop
in the medical center of Kelkheim.
|
In this biggest medical center of the region (Vordertaunus) an analysis lab was
created, which provides the latest equipment for body and motion analysis as for
example the DIERS system for a 3-D-spine analysis, the Foot Checker force platform
and the TEMPLO motion analysis software designed by CONTEMPLAS.
In November and Dezember 2005, over 100 motion analyses have been carried out..
|
The sports scientist Frank Schädler carries out the analyses and he assures
that within the 15 years he is been working in the field of motion analysis "no
computer-aided system is as stable as the TEMPLO software. I have never had any
problem with this software."
90 percent of the customers coming to the medical center are sent by the surrounding
general physicians or orthopaedists.

"They require exact measuring data and a clear report. Even with the
basic version, I can work out a sound profile, barefoot and with shoes, in only
20 minutes," confirms Schädler.
Distinctive features of the walking or running profile showing differences to the
standard values provided by the system are measured or marked separately by the
sports scientist: "I show these differences in the full screen mode to the patient
and store the image with two clicks in the report. It is really very simple."
|
The joint angles can be measured as absolute values or as an orthopaedic angle.
Physicians concentrate mostly on the orthopaedic angles.
The cooperation with the physicians is very good. After having a look at the report,
a prescription for two pairs of insoles is rarely a problem.
Motion expert Schädler is pleased: "It is really profitable for our store".
Once the fabrication of the insoles is finished, Schädler can recommend the suitable
shoe to his patients. The program is small but select: "We have grouped our range
of walking shoes into 5 different categories of stability. Depending on the Achilles
tendon angle the mostly suitable walking shoe is selected".
This feature rounds
off the whole consultation. After a spine analysis, a foot pressure measurement
and a TEMPLO motion analysis, the patient is "brought on his feet" again...
