Introduction
Objective Assessment
18 | SmartStep™ Version 2.1.1 Revision A2
1 Introduction
SmartStep™ was developed to assist clinicians to accurately assess, treat, and track
the rehabilitation of patients who are undergoing gait training, following orthopedic or
neurological impairment.
1.1 Objective Assessment
SmartStep™ improves the objective assessment of different aspects of gait
outcomes, by accurately measuring the ground reaction force exerted by the patient
during different kinds of exercises.
1.2 Training
SmartStep™ provide precise feedback in both visual and audio modes. This procedure
enhances the learning process and improves movement control (weight and timing)
and helps to normalize gait patterns.
1.3 Rehabilitation Tracking
The SmartStep™ system records the assessment and training sessions. Historical
data is collected and saved in each session for future examination.
The system allows you to:
1. Easily retrieve past sessions.
2. Analyze past sessions.
3. Compare patient sessions in order to track rehabilitation.
1.4 Using SmartStep™ in Online and Offline Mode
In assessment as well as training, the SmartStep System can be used in online or
offline mode.
In online mode, SmartStep™ communicates with your computer to provide
real-time visual feedback. Audio feedback is also possible. During an online
session, it is recommended to work in the vicinity of the computer (in a 7m
radius).
In offline mode, SmartStep™ provide real-time audio feedback. It is possible
to records session data, and downloaded it to the computer for later analysis.

SmartStep™ Components
20 | SmartStep™ Version 2.1.1 Revision A2
2.2 SmartStep™ Components
SmartStep™ consists of four main components: An insole, Control Unit, software and
a manual pump. The following sections explain each of these components in more
detail.
2.2.1 Insole
Insole
The SmartStep™ insole is placed inside the patient’s shoe, and is used to measure
the force exerted by the patient on the foot, during an assessment or a training
session.
The insole contains two inflatable compartments – the forefoot and the hind foot.
Each compartment is connected, via a tube, to a pressure sensor. When a patient
exerts force on the leg, increased air is driven out of the air pockets and is detected
by the pressure sensors and converted into uneven weight in Kg/lb.
SmartStep™ sessions are performed on a single foot at a time. The insole is suitable
for both left and right feet. It is supplied in a range of sizes (see details in 2.1 above).
System Description
Control Unit
SmartStep™ Version 2.1.1 Revision A2 | 21
2.2.2 Control Unit
The Control Unit
The SmartStep™ Control Unit serves three purposes:
Data relay to a computer via wireless (Bluetooth) communication. The
computer must have the SmartStep™ software installed (see 3.2). Connecting
the Control Unit to a computer allows you to view a graph of the gait pattern,
as the patient performs an online workout.
Feedback generation when the patient reaches and exceeds the desired
weight range. Audio feedback is optional; it can be turned on and off by
toggling the Control Unit’s operation mode.
Optional data collection in an offline mode that can be turned on or off by
toggling the Control Unit’s operating mode. The collected data can be
downloaded to a computer and view session statistics and graphs.
