Gait analysis with and without BlueRocker™
The primary goal of the BlueRocker™ is to utilise the dynamics of the orthosis to normalise gait as much as possible throughout the entire gait cycle. The photo on the left shows how without an orthosis, the ankle is unstable and the initial contact is going to involve the full plantar surface of the foot. The photo on the right demonstrates how when wearing the BlueRocker™, in addition to lifting contact. BlueRocker™ also provides good mediallateral stability at mid-stance, and dynamic propulsion at pre-swing. Wearing BlueRocker™ bilaterally, the gait pattern is clearly improved with a good pre-swing and significant balance and trunk posture improvement.
Ground Reaction Forces
The narrow spike in forces without the BlueRocker™ indicates a static 'peg-leg' type of gait pattern. With the BlueRocker™, the forces are distributed in a wider gait rocker band, indicating a more dynamic and fluid gait pattern. With BlueRocker™ bilaterally the gait pattern is clearly improved with a good pre-swing and improved balance as well as posture.
