UPLAB by Spronken opens state-of-the-art gait analysis laboratory in Genk

Genk, 23 June 2024 - UPLAB by Spronken is opening a new gait analysis laboratory at Transportlaan 9 in Genk. This facility focuses on improving posture through biomechanical analysis and customised solutions, such as patented steering orthotics and pressure suits. Together with UP Sports, we focus on different target groups.

  

Improving sports performance

Athletes can go there to improve sports performance through optimal foot positioning and dynamic steering. Our technologies include cameras, a treadmill with pressure sensors and a biomechanical scanner. Our team customises steering insoles based on detailed analysis and collaboration with physiotherapists and doctors for the best results. Our steering suits provide additional support to the pelvis, trunk and shoulders, leading to improved posture and movement.

Improve functionality of orthoses and prostheses

The service also targets patients with neurological disorders where, using advanced technologies such as cameras, treadmills with pressure sensors and scanners, we optimise the fit and functionality of orthoses and improve daily comfort. By analysing gait and optimising gait patterns, we can also adjust prostheses more precisely and in a targeted way, improving mobility and quality of life for amputation patients.

Spronken Orthopedie
