CAPS® SYSTEMS

The CAPS® (Comprehensive Assessment of Postural Systems) is the ultimate
posturography tool.

It is the essential tool for any clinician who wants to offer balance
disorder/falls‑risk screenings, diagnosis and rehabilitation to his/her patient
population as well as implement an effective, profitable fall prevention
program.


APPLICATIONS:

 * Fall Risk Assessment
 * Balance Assessment
 * Physical and Sport Performance
 * Rehabilitation
 * Functional Neurology
 * TBI and Concussion Management

DESCRIPTION

The CAPS® combines very user friendly, yet very powerful software applications
with exciting new cutting‑edge technology: our unique, self‑leveling,
three‑component force platforms that are powered only by the computer via a USB
connection. And when used with a laptop computer, the CAPS® becomes a completely
portable solution.

In 2013, the International Society for Posture and Gait Research (ISPGR)
estabished standards for clinical CoP measurements*: accuracy of 0.1 mm, and
precision and resolution of 0.05 mm. Our CAPS® systems have always satisfied
these requirements!

COMPARISON WITH OTHER POSTUROGRAPHIC SYSTEMS

Unlike most systems on the market, that do not meet the minimum performance
characteristics for clinical posturographic instrumentation recommended by the
ISPGR, our systems have always been designed to exceed them.

Since the beginning, based on our research and clinical experience, we realized
that posturographic instruments with very high performance characteristics are
needed in research and clinical practice to assess the minute changes in balance
and postural control caused by non physiological conditions.

Following is an example of how the CAPS® systems compare with other devices:
