Compas™ Alignment System from Orthocare Innovations
Alignment has been recognized as a key element for optimal prosthesis function for many decades. Prosthesis alignment historically, however, has been a learned art rather than a measureable science. Compas™ enables the prosthetist to use real-time gait analysis data to optimize prosthesis alignment for each individual. The Smart Pyramid™ with its embedded sensors is integrated into the prosthesis. The Compas™ system uses Bluetooth to communicate wirelessly with automatic gait analysis software on a PC. Incorporating the Compas™ Smart Pyramid™ into the prosthesis saves time during the initial alignment and later through a decreased need for adjustment.
