HP Cosmos Gaitway (Gait Analysis)
HP Cosmos Gaitway System for gait analysis - force plates in a running machine. View short demo video.
What makes this treadmill system unique is the ability to measure vertical ground reaction forces and centre of pressure for complete, consecutive foot strikes during walking and running.
The instrumented treadmill system has been designed using a patented tandem force plate design and includes a patented algorithm which distinguishes left and right foot-strikes.

Gaitway Software
The Gaitway Software is the power behind the system, collecting the data from the force sensors located in the bed of the treadmill and separating the left and right foot strikes, plotting the results and enabling the user to selectively print and export data to other programs.
A powerful database keeps track of trials by subject name, ID, doctor, therapist, pathology, or any other user-specified classification.
Multiple trials can be overlaid on a single graph and the time base can be varied to view the data in absolute time, relative time (i.e. heel strikes aligned at time=0), percent contact, percent step and percent gait cycle.
