Quantitative Measurement of the
Stability of the body
A critical Unmet Need in the
Assessment and Management of
Musculoskeletal Conditions
Efficient and Effective
Load-bearing & Load Transfer
is essential for:
Motion & Mobility – Fundamental Basis of Life
Health – Especially, Musculoskeletal Health
Quality of Life (QoL) – Various aspects of QoL, including
the ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs),
Efficient and Effective
Load-bearing & Load Transfer
Can lead to :
Diseases – Especially, Disorders involving the Musculoskeletal System.
Poor Quality of Life (QoL) Negative impact on various aspects of QoL, including inability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
Life Threatening Conditions – Potential resulting in Death
The Body’s Main
Load-bearing & Load Transfer Chain
The
Weight-bearing
Chain
The
Weight Transfer
Chain
This Mechanical Chain operates as a single Functional Unit
Spine-Hip-Knees-Ankles (feet) Complex
The Weight-bearing & Weight Transfer Chain
The Spine-Hip-Knees- Ankles (feet) Complex)
Plays a Key Role in:
The Handling of Body Weight and Morphology (size, shape…)
Gait & Posture
Locomotion
For an Efficient and Effective
Weight-bearing & Weight Transfer
The Spine-Hip-Knees- Ankles (feet) Complex Requires:
Flexibility: – The complex must be Flexible (Pliable, Adaptable)
Stability – The Load must be Transferred in Stable (Coherent, Balanced) manner between units forming The Spine-Hip-Knees- Ankles (feet) Complex).
Strength – Each Unit within The Spine-Hip-Knees- Ankles (feet) Complex must be Strong (able to withstand the load being transferred.)
For good Gait, Posture,& Locomotion
Amongst the Components of
The Effective and Efficient Load-bearing & Load transfer Triad
Flexibility, Stability, Strength
Stability is The Most Neglected Determinant of Load-bearing & Transfer
Despite its Critical Importance, especially in Musculoskeletal Health
An Unstable Structure Is Unhealthy Regardless of its Flexibility, and/or the Strength of its Components
The Unmet Need
Currently, No Tool Available for:
“Quantitative Measurement of the Stability of Weight-Bearing & Weight-Transfer”
The Load Transfer Chain Responsible for the State of Gait, Posture, and Locomotion in Health and Diseases
Mindful of this gap in Musculoskeletal Health, We develop:
OAS - A World First Technology
A Revolution in Musculoskeletal Health
OAS Technology
The Technology performs a fully automated analysis of hip images (from various sources including DXA and Standard X-Rays) to provide many parameters including:
A Quantitative Measurement of the:
ORIENTATION
ALIGNMENT
SYMMETRY
The – OAS – of The Load Transfer Chain responsible for Weight-bearing, Gait, Posture and Locomotion,
(The Spine-Hip-Knee- Ankle (foot)- Complex)
OAS Technology
The – OAS – [Orientation, Alignment, & Symmetry]
Provides a Quantitative Measure of the Stability of Load Transfer Chain responsible for:
Weight-Bearing
Gait & Posture
Locomotion
Stability of The Spine-Hip-Knee- Ankle (foot)- Complex
OAS Technology
A Good OAS (Orientation, Alignment, & Symmetry)
Indicates:
Stable
Coherent
Steady,balanced
Load (Weight)-bearing & Load (Weight)Transfer
within the Spine-Hip-Knee- Ankle (foot)- Complex
OAS Technology
A Good OAS (Orientation, Alignment, & Symmetry)
Indicates:
Instable
Incoherent
Unsteady, Unbalanced
Load (Weight)-bearing & Load (Weight)Transfer
within the Spine-Hip-Knee- Ankle (foot)- Complex
OAS Technology
A Good OAS (Orientation, Alignment, & Symmetry)
Is Indicative of unstable, incoherent, Load Bearing & load Transfer that Translates into:
Poor Orientation
Inadequate Alignment
Unsatisfactory Symmetry
within the Spine-Hip-Knee- Ankle (foot)- Complex
The Critical Importance of Stability Stability
Unstable, Incoherent, Load Bearing & load Transfer
Produces a Bad OAS (Orientation, Alignment, & Symmetry)
Which result in Damages, Disorders within the
Spine-Hip-Knees- Ankles (foot) – Complex
Damages & Disorders occur regardless of the:
Flexibility of the Complex
Strength of any of the component of the Complex
(spine, hip, femur, ankle, foot..)
OAS Technology
Your Key for Assessment & Monitoring
Your Guide to the Management
Drugs, Physical Interventions (Exercise, and others)
of Diseases, Conditions, Interventions and Therapies that affect:
The Spine-Hip-Knees-Ankles (Feet) Complex
In Particular, the Femur
