2 Introduction
Dear medilogic User!
Thank You very much for deciding to buy our medilogic system.
We are convinced that the expectations You had when buying this system will be fulfilled after a short
getting to know period. To make this getting to know as short as possible we strove to keep this manu-
al as informative and easy to understand as possible without bothering You with unnecessary details.

In this manual we address You the user of the medilogic system in order to provide you with all the ne-
cessary information. We use the term ‘customer’ for the person being examined instead of the term
‘patient’ as used in medical context. This takes into account the fact that for medical/orthopaedic care
the patient nowadays often is the customer.

We undertook every effort to make sure that the information herein is complete and accurate. But we
can not guarantee for it. Should You notice something amiss or should passages seem misleading to
You. Please kindly send us a message, so that we can improve the next edition of the manual accord-
ingly.

The software and some parts of the hardware for the medilogic foot pressure measurement system and
the medilogic platform system are identical, thus the manual applies to both systems. In places where
there are differences between the systems they will be explained separately.

3 medilogic – orthopaedic measuring system for static and dynamic measure-

ment of pressure under the foot

3.1 Application
The intended use for the medilogic product family is as diagnostic help for orthopaedics and sports
medicine to record the basic data and afterwards evaluate the load distribution under the foot during
walking and standing.
Furthermore is aids in getting the basic data for manufacture, adaption, inspection and documentation
of shoe care with the view to load distribution in static and dynamic situations. The medilogic foot
scanner can be used to optically capture the sole of the foot.
Basically medilogic must be viewed as an enhancement in the varied interplay between diagnostic an d
crafting processes. Thus a comprehensive assessment of the individual situation can not be based on
the display of the load distribution alone. It is the responsibility of the user (e. G. physician or ortho-
tist ), to compare the conclusions from measurements and further examination like anamnese ,X-Ray
or etc.
Thus medilogic enables the optimization of insole and bespoke shoe care (especially for diabetic and
rheumatic feet), furthermore the zones of load of the foot can be shown. This supports You in docu-
menting the effectiveness work and can have impact on customer motivation.
With medilogic medical crafts are handed a tool, which facilitates better diagnoses and in-house quali-
ty control. medilogic supports You in providing care according to the customers needs with insoles and
orthopedic aids.
The medilogic seat pressure measurement is used to record basic static and dynamic data to evaluate
the load during sitting. For example customers with spinal cord injury can be tied to the wheelchair
due to paralysis, since these often affect the body from chest downwards. According to the degree of
disability special seat cushions or individually formed seats and shells can be adapted. With seat pres-
sure measurement potential pressure points can be identified during the production process. The fin-
ished product can be checked for effectiveness and corrected if necessary as well as documented.

3.2 Description of the System

The medilogic foot pressure measurement system consists of the pressure

measuring insole which is placed inside the customers shoe and the WLAN
transmitter module which is connected to the insole and attached to the
Leg. From there the recorded data is sent wireless to the WLAN interface
of a computer.

The version with the Upat4 wireless data transmission has a customer modem (optionally with integ-
rated data logger, which is attached to the customers back and transmits the data to a second modem
connected to a computer. With the medilogic pressure measuring platform the customer modem ist at-
tached to the case of the platform, the customer stand with socks on the platform.
The medilogic pressure measuring platform basic and pro have cable connection directly to the USB
port, which transmits the recorded data to the computer. With the wireless version the integrated mo-
dem in the platform transmits the data to a modem connected to the computer.

For the medilogic seat pressure measurement the mat is placed underneath the sitting patient and the
cables from the flexible mat are connected to the customer modem.

The medilogic software built to run on WINDOWS® displays the recorded values instantly on the
computer monitor. Immediately after turning on the measuring devices the recorded data is displayed
as graphics on the monitor. The pressure distribution can be displayed as isobaric colour graphic or as
three dimensional coloured mountain representation.

The operation of medilogic is comparable to a recording device. With press of a ‘button’ (mouse click)
the measurement (recording) is started. After the recording is done it can be viewed in fast forward, at
normal speed, in slow motion or step by step one point in time at a time.

The display of maximum pressures, of the averages, the pressure momentum as well as the path of the
centre of pressure as gait line and cyclogram is possible. Images of these can be sent to a printer.

Two recordings can be compared. To store the data on hard disk each recording can be associated with
a patient. Later evaluation of the data is always possible. A comprehensive data management function
allows for backup, export and import of measurements.

and safety instructions.

The use is not permitted if:

• the customer is not able to safely stand during the measurement period, or safely sit in case of
the seat measurement.

Page 20
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

3.4 Special Instructions for Use

Using the medilogic system as medical device the following instructions have to be adhered to in order
to insure proper and safe use.
The measuring system may only be used and handled by staff trained in the use and handling of the
system. Special care needs to be taken to avoid damage to the sensors (insoles of measuring platform)
from sharp of pointed objects. Bending the insoles sharply must also be avoided. (see 7 )

Safety Instructions
To ensure customer safety the following precautions need to be adhered to. The wireless transmission
Upat4 is attached to the customer using the belt delivered with the system in a way that it is firmly in
contact with the customers back and freedom of movement is not compromised. The tongues of the in-
soles must be attached to the lower leg using the Velcro leg cuffs. When the system is used to record
fast movements during sports the cables need to be secured to avoid catching on objects.
When used with Customers with walking disorders the user has to monitor the customer carefully to
prevent falls during the measurement process.
Using the cable versions of the pressure measuring platforms Basic/Pro or the wireless platform spe-
cial attention needs to be focused on safely securing the cables to avoid tripping the customer. Avoid
pulling on the cable during use or transport under all circumstances.
In order to ensure safety and hygiene the medilogic system may not be used in such a way that the
bare skin comes in contact with the sensors. The medilogic system is designed for use over a limited
amount of time and should only be attached to the patient for a limited amount of time.
Furthermore the surface of the sensors needs to be disinfected before the are used with the next cus-
tomer to avoid infections. The cleaning procedures using a moist cloth described in the following sec-
tion need to be adhered to. Using the medilogic system with fluids is not permitted to prevent endan-
gering the customer, the user or system components. Make sure that no inflammatory wound liquids
come in contact with the surface.
To ensure the product features especially the leatherette covering the sensors softeners (phtalates) are
necessary. Because the intended use of the system: no direct skin contact, limited application time, en-
sure that the softeners pose no risk to user or customer. The risk of transition of the softeners into the
customer body can be assessed as being small, the usefulness outweighs the residual risk.
The use of the medilogic system with a computer system requires the proper functioning and electrical
safety of all computer components. For this the safety instructions chapter 5.3 concerning installation
and checking of the computer system under operator responsibility have to be complied with.
The connector to the power grid (or the USB cable) need to be easily accessible for safety reasons in
order to completely separate the system from the power grid if necessary.
Using the Li-Ion batteries of the WLAN transmission basic safety instructions have to be complied
with: Do not open the devices, do not let the devices get wet, do not charge the device when it is at-
tached to the customer.
The medilogic system is intended to be used in an electro magnetic environment that is controlled for
HF disturbances. The user should avoid electro magnetic disturbances by adhering to the instructions
in chapter 8.2 concerning operating environment and the recommended minimum distances to HF tele-
communication devices.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Clean the sensor surface and the cases using a soft moist cloth without detergents, take special care
that no moisture enters the devices; don’t use abrasive detergents or sharp edged objects.
To avoid the transfer of infections via the sensor surface of the pressure measuring system disinfect the
surface before and/or after each customer
In order to disinfect the sensor surface (pressure measuring insoles, pressure measuring platforms,
flexible mats) wipe them off with disinfectants that can be found in the VAH list (Verbund für Ange-
Page 21
medilogic Pressure Measurement

wandte Hygiene e.V.) according to criteria set out by the DGHM (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hygiene
und Mikrobiologie). Please pay attention to the product description of the disinfectant. Use cloth
soaked in disinfectant, do not apply the fluid to the sensors directly. To ensure customer safety and
flawless sensor operation make sure that during the cleaning process fluids or impurities can not enter
the sensors through faults in the surface.
The user must take care that no damage to the device are present, that could lead to injuries (e.G. sharp
edges). Damaged components need to be send to the manufacturer for repair.

Maintenance
• Charging the Batteries:
The WLAN transmitters have a Li-Ion battery as power supply. Charging by the user is done with a
USB charger that is attached in the same way as the measuring insoles are attached to the transmitter.
First put the transmitter on the cradle then make the connection to the USB port or the NaviLock char-
ging adaptor.
Should it be necessary to replace the Li-Ion-Battery this must be done by personal trained by the man-
ufacturer to ensure safety.
•Changing Block Batteries:
The medilogic wireless transmission Upat4 and the pressure measuring platforms Pro wireless and Ba-
sic wireless have a 9V Alkaline Block Battery as power supply (the USB cable version operate without
battery). The battery capacity is monitored by the software as soon as the system starts, should the
voltage drop to far a warning is shown in the software. The user can change the battery. Make sure You
get a alkaline or lithium battery which offer much longer operation time than cheaper batteries.
•Calibration:
The electronics attached to the sensors store calibration tables, which need to be checked regularly (at
least once a year) by the manufacturer and adjusted if necessary. For this the system has to be sent to
the manufacturer in the system case packed shock protected in a cardboard box.
•Preventive Inspection:
Additionally to the cleaning and disinfection mentioned above the user has to make a preventive in-
spection at least once a year to check that:

• sensor surface is clean, free of crinkles and damages

• transmitter case free of mechanical damage
• platform case free of mechanical damage
• USB-cable and connector free of damage and kinks
• insole cable and connector free of damage and kinks
• battery connector free of damage (wireless transmitter Upat4)

Disposal
The used batteries have to be disposed of according to local laws and regulations
The components of the medilogic pressure measuring system contain electronic parts, they have
to be disposed of according to local laws and regulations or sent back to the manufacturer

Storage and Transport

To protest from dust, dirt and moisture and other impurities or damage the system components have to
be stored in the system case or a place suitable for storing electronic measuring equipment. Please
make sure that the insoles are stored lying flat in the compartment designed to hold them. Under no
circumstances may the insoles be stored or transported folded or bent sharply. Transport of the mobile

Page 22
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

system components has to be done using the system case or bag designed for that purpose. Store the
system case lying flat since especially the platform cases are prone to topple.
The system case protects the components from shocks and other mechanical damage during transport.
Especially sending should only be done in the system case best wrapped around with a cardboard box.
All changes by the user to system components (especially improper repair) and use other than intended
can cause failure and void the manufacturers responsibility and guarantee.
Don’t drop, Attention breakable!

3.5 medilogic Projection

The usefulness of the medilogic foot pressure measuring system gains a whole dimension through pro-
jection the load distribution on top of an insole:

It simplifies the production process by projection 1:1 the repres-

entation of the load maxima onto the work piece. Instead of using
the traditional paper printout You ‘magic’ the medilogic pressure
measurement directly onto Your worktop. The high intensity pro-
jector can make the colour graphics visible even on dark material.
Using the only now available display to scale of static and dy-
namic load distribution
onto the outer insole You
gain new insights into how

4 Installation and Commissioning

4.1 Installing the hardware

4.1.1 WLAN-Insoles
The transmission of measuring data is directly between the WLAN module connected to an insole and
the computer. Data reception on the computer can be either with a built in WLAN device which is con-
figured by the software for direct connection, or with a WLAN adapter connected to a USB port(TP-
Link is part of the accessories). The hardware driver for the WLAN adapter delivered with the system
is on the installation media in the ‘tools’ folder and has to be installed before use.

The WLAN transmitter module switches on as soon as an insole is inserted the WLAN connection is
initiated. As soon as the medilogic software is started the selected WLAN adapter is configured for use
with medilogic measurements.
Please note that the WLAN interface can now not be used to connect the computer with Your network.
Should this be necessary we recommend the use of the WLAN adapter delivered with the system (TP-
Link)
Battery status of the WLAN transmitter module is indicated by the upper blinking LED: green means
good, yellow/orange low capacity. If the LED turns red it is time to connect the module to the cradle
delivered with the system.

4.1.2 Upat4 Wireless Data Transmission

The medilogic system with the Upat4 Wireless Transmission uses two modems for data transmission.
One is connected to the computer and called the computer modem. It is connected directly to the USB
port.
The other modem is near the customer/patient (for the insole system on the back of the customer) and
is called the customer modem. The sensors (insoles, platforms and flexible mats) are connected to the
customer modem.
The customer modem, provided it has sufficient power supply, instantly operational without the need
for an installation procedure.
The USB computer modem is connected directly to a USB port. The hardware installation is automatic
since it is detected as human interface device (HID) the driver is provided by the WINDOWS® opera-
tion system.

Note for Windows 8, 8.1 and 10:

The orange LED on the computer modem should blink if the medilogic software is not running, while
running it should light up constantly. If that is not the case the function „FuMod4USB-Problembeseiti-
gung für Windows 8.1“ from the installation media has to be started.
The tool can also be downloaded from the medilogic home page: www.medilogic.com

4.2 Installing the software

Before You can start using the medilogic system the software has to be installed to the hard disk of
your computer. When purchasing the medilogic system together with computer hardware, the software
is pre-installed. In all other cases the following point need to be checked:
 The computer is able to run Windows® operating systems and fulfils the hardware requirements:
see 7.10 Technical Specifications for the Foot Pressure Measuring System
see 7.11 Specifications for the Platform Measuring System
 The operating system Windows® 7 / 8 / 8.1/ 10 is already installed. If not, install the operating
system first following the instructions that come with it.
 Necessary hard disk capacity.
The programme for the medilogic pressure measurement system requires 200MB space on
the hard disc. At least 10 GB free space are recommended for measurements and the SQL-
server. If You use video capture with medilogic we recommend an additional 20 GB of
hard disk space.
 The computer system has to be certified according to IEC 60950 and checked regularly accord-
ing to BGV A3. The responsibility lies with the operator of the system.
 Furthermore operating a medical device (medilogic) with a non-medical device (standard Com-
puter) DIN EN 60601-1-1 and DIN EN 60601-1 need to be adhered to, which also is the respons-
ibility of the operator.
 During the installation of the software on Your computer admin rights are necessary. Please log in
as fully privileged admin.

To install the software on the WINDOWS® operating system just connect the installation media to the
computer and start the medilogic setup. The setup will guide You through the necessary steps of the in-
stallation.

5 Recording a Pressure Measurement

5.1 Quick Start – Preparation and Measurement

If You are an experienced WINDOWS® user, handling of the programme will come easy to You. The
software is designed to be easily understood focusing intentionally on function relevant to everyday
use. This eliminates long training. This section will show You the most important steps for preparation
and measurement. The details can be found in the corresponding chapters.
Please follow these steps to use the medilogic system:

 Setup the Hardware see 4.1 Install

 Install the software see 4.2 Install
 Start the medilogic pressure measurement software:
Click or double click on the medilogic icon depending on whether the icon is located on the
desktop or in the menu. The medilogic software will now start. You can use the system as soon
as the software finished loading.
 Preparing for the measurement: see 7.1
Insert the insoles in to the shoes (red – left; blue - right), attach with velcro strips to the legs,
connect to WLAN transmitter or Upat4 wireless transmitter using the cable attached to the in-
soles, belt on the transmitter and switch it on (short pressure on the button situated on the side of
the case; power LED of the transmitter will light up).
Connect wireless pressure measurement platform to the Upat4 transmitter and switch it on. The
wireless measurement platforms Basic and Pro are switched on by using the switch on the side
of the case; the cable version Basic and Pro just have to be connected to the computer to power
up.
The pressure values of the sensors should show up on screen after a short initialisation phase.

Please use the insoles and platform only wearing socks!

 Starting a recording/measurement see 6.3
Recording starts as soon as You press the red recording button.
 Saving the recording with customer information
Enter the first name, name and date of birth and further customer data as needed.
 Evaluating the pressure measurement see 6.2.3 ff.
 Printing the pressure measurement see 6.4 Print
Choose the appropriate print out from the menu ‘Print’
 Finally detach the WLAN transmitter from the insoles or switch of the Upat4 wireless transmit-
ter by pressing the button on the side until the double beep sounds, close the software.

Everything else is easily explored. Enjoy!

5.2 Notes for dynamic pressure measurements (Insole measurement /pressure measuring plat-
form)
These notes represent the condensed knowledge from years of experience and hands on application,
they can be used for easier access interpreting the results of foot pressure measurements. We are sure
that most experienced users of the pressure measurement will know about this and operate the system
accordingly.
The motivation for these notes is to capture the characteristic (every day) locomotive patterns of the
customers, analyse and evaluate them.

Page 28
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

The doctor will often put down on the prescription why an orthopaedic care is prescribed, but it is al-
ways advisable to make a short anamnese of Your own. Questions that should be asked concern injur-
ies or illnesses (diabetes, rheumatism etc.) in recent years, current occupation (are there repetitive pat-
terns of movement), pain, leisure activities (esp. sports) and so on. This should result in care like spe-
cial insoles, that fit the individual load situations as well as possible. At the same time the answers will
provide a good basis when the pressure measurement is analysed and evaluated. Many pathologies de-
scribed by the customer will evoke certain concepts for motion defects with the user that will show up
in the pressure measurement.

Often the customers will come for their pressure measurement wearing their best shoes. It is important
to instruct the customer to bring their every day shoes for the measurement. These will already show
the tell tale traces of continuous use. Usually the customer wants to use the insoles in these shoes any-
way. These shoes constitute the integral part and basis for the locomotor system of the customer.
Even if these shoes are often rather harmful then helpful for the customer, they are reluctant to switch
them for more suitable comfort shoes for reasons like price or fashion reasons. Many times the prob-
lems are caused by these insufficient shoes in the first place, for which the customer now seeks an in-
sole solution. In view of that the insole need to take into account the characteristics of these shoes.
This is not a good situation, but the shoe belongs to the customer and if he or she can not be convinced
that has to be accepted and dealt with.

When conducting a pressure measurement, make sure that the customer has time to adapt to the meas-
uring equipment and situation. There are physiological and psychological reasons for this. From a
physiological point of view it is an important fact that biological systems try to minimize the energy
needed for any given task. At the begin of locomotion higher friction occurs in the joints and has to be
dealt with. This results in higher energy needs at the beginning of any locomotion. Only when the
phase of minimized energy consumption is reached has also the point of steady state come .
The psychological components result from the inner agitation from being measured with an unknown
technology. Many customers show the signs of this unaccustomed situation. Indicators are very short
steps. Most customers loose this nervousness after approx. 20 steps. So we suggest a run in phase of
15 to 20 steps before starting the actual measurement. The same is true for measurements on the plat-
forms. The customer should make some trial rounds with the instruction not to look at the floor.
The results form the run in phase should not be included in later evaluations. Leaving the customer in
the dark about when the measurement actually takes place, will also prevent them from tensing and
thus changing the gait pattern.
The recording should consist of an uninterrupted sequence of steps. This is only possible using the in-
sole systems. Using the platforms limits the evaluation to a single step. Keep this in mind when evalu-
ating results from a platform measurement, the recorded values could represent an accidental, not typ-
ical step, not representing the normal locomotor patterns of the customer.
To get an evaluation representing the customer typical locomotor pattern record 13 to 15 consecutive
steps. This precludes the over interpretation of single events like tripping and these events skewing the
results.

The dynamic pressure measurement using the platform has to be conducted in such a way that the
swinging leg does not pass over the case of the platform, but over the free half of the platform (for the
platforms wireless and Pro) or over the floor (for Basic platforms).
After roll off of the first foot the customer need to turn around and walk in the opposite direction over
the platform hitting it with the second foot. The software will place the feet on screen so that the left
foot is displayed left and the right foot on the right hand side.

The wireless transmission of the insole systems eliminates the need for a tread mill. This means that
the measurements can be conducted anywhere. Space constraints might make it necessary for the cus-
tomer to walk in circles. This results in one foot always on the inner curve and the other on the out-
Page 29
medilogic Pressure Measurement

side. If possible limit the number of turns the customer needs to take to avoid single sided locomotion
and skewed evaluations. If spacial constraints make multiple turns necessary instruct the customer to
walk the figure eight. This results in changing the position of the feet from inside to outside.

Include the customer in the process of evaluation to present the quality of Your service This builds
trust with the customer and leads to long term customer loyalty. The customer will get a positive im-
pression that You work according to the latest technology for orthopaedic care.

5.3 Notes for the static foot outline measurement (wireless pressure measurement platform)
Some aspects of making a measurement using the wireless pressure measurement need looking into.
Experience with making these measurements have yielded some typical sources for error, which can
be avoided heeding theses notes:
The static pressure measurement including the foot outline is controlled by menu described in section
(1) The feet of the customer should be place in the middle of the corresponding halves of the platform.
Enough space around the feet should be left to draw the outline.
(2) During the recording of the load in step 2 the position of the feet should not be changed, but it is
advisable to instruct the customer to lean on the side being outlined. This will help recording the
full area of contact and avoid triggering additional sensor (e.g. from a collapsing foot arch) during
the drawing of the outline.
(3) The outline is drawn according to step 3 by continuously dragging the pen with its rounded side
over the platform. Take care to move slowly in order to capture enough points around the outline.
You can stop and redraw parts of the outline, if not enough points have been recorded for the out-
line. Especially for the tight curves at the toes an heel attention has to be taken to record a suffi-
cient number of points. Should false points be recorded (e.g. by accidentally putting the hand on
the platform) the recording can be redone using the back arrows.
(4) In step 4 touching sensors on the outline will set markers (e.g. the metatarsals) which will show up
as red crosses on the outline.
(5) The results for the corresponding foot are displayed and the steps can be repeated if necessary us-
ing the backwards arrow.

Compared to the traditional blue print the image of the foot thus obtained offers more information in-
cluding the pressure distribution. Remember that the customer steps on a soft membrane, which is un-
der a slight tension doing the traditional blue print. This will paint areas blue even if the load applied
was minimal. The blue print will show areas, where the foot only touches the ground, but transfers no
load. This happens often in the mid part of the foot. These areas are less pronounced using the medi-
logic pressure measurement platform.

6 Description of the medilogic - Software

6.1 medilogic Systems - Overview

The description of the programmes is structured in these main parts:

 First are buttons described displayed on the user interface. Buttons give easy access to the most
important functions like recording and evaluation. see 6.3
 Next the graphics of the programmes are explained. see 6.4
 Finally follows a detailed description of menu entries. see 6.5 ff.

Since the software of the medilogic insole system and the medilogic platform system are similar in
structure and use, they will be explained side by side in this manual. If a feature is only available in
one of the programmes this will be marked.
The change between programme modes (e.g. insole and platform) happens automatically when the
corresponding sensors are attached and switched on or a measurement is loaded. medilogic always
starts in the programme mode last used.

The software also integrates control for the medilogic foot scanner additionally to the pressure meas-
urement. The menu item 'Scan' provides access to these additional functions. Description of the func-
tions of the foot scanner software are located in a separate manual for that product.

6.2 Buttons of the user interface – New basic programme interface medilogic WLAN
With software version 10.x for You have the option to switch between the new basic programme inter-
face and the classic one. We strove to organize the buttons in such a way that the functions needed
most often are easily accessible.
We used the same icons to make the transition as smooth as possible for our long term users.
Following is a overview of the new basic programme interface with labelling of the elements. The
buttons described in the following chapter are valid for the classic view and the new basic programme
interface, if appropriate the buttons are listed for both programmes:
Left above the text: Symbol for the classic basic programme interface;
Right above the text: Symbol for the new basic programme interface

6.3 Buttons of the User Interface – classic basic programme interface

The programmes of the medilogic insole measuring system and the platform measuring system are in-
tentionally designed for use that is as simple as possible. The following graphic depicts the most im-
portant elements for the medilogic insole pressure measurement system. The graphical user interface
for the platform measurement system is very similar and described in section see 6.4 .

The important functions like control of a recording and evaluation can be accessed using the buttons
displayed in the user interface. This gives a quick overview of the programmes functionality and
shortens the work in phase considerably.
Using the programme is made even more easy by only making the buttons available, that are usable in
the current state of the programme. All other buttons are either greyed out and not clickable or not dis-
played at all.
Page 32
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.3.1 Recording a Measurement

The button with the red circle („Start“) represents the recording button. A record-
ing is started clicking this button. Always the current measurement is recorded not
the comparative measurement.
Note: Recording is only available if the measurement (black feet) is displayed or no comparative
measurement is displayed. If the comparative measurement is selected the button is greyed out to in-
dicate that it is not available. By selecting the measurement the button becomes available again.
If trigger mats (optional) are used a small point is displayed within the ‘Start’ button. This indicates
that the use of trigger mats is activated. Triggering the mats would now automatically start a recording
and stop it with a second trigger impulse.
see 6.8.3 „Extra“

6.3.2 Stopping a Recording

The button with the black square („Stop / Online“) is used to stop a recording and
switch the software from replay mode to online display of current values.

A recording can be stopped using this button or is stopped automatically, when the recording time is
up. (The standard for the maximum recording time is 60 seconds for insole measurements and 30 for
platform measurements)– this can be set in: see 6.8.3 „Extra“).
Since shorter recording periods lead to recordings needing less space on the hard drive and the more
complex evaluations run faster, recordings should be kept as short as possible.
Note: This button is only available if the measurement (black feet) is displayed or no comparative
measurement is displayed. If the comparative measurement is selected the button is greyed out to in-
dicate that it is not available. By selecting the measurement the button becomes available again.
After the recording is stopped it is advisable to save it, if You consider it worth saving.
For every day use it is advisable to automatically display the save dialogue directly after the recording
stops. This option is available in: see 6.8.4 Options

6.3.3 Outline
 only available for platform measuring system wireless and Pro (see 6.4 )
The foot outline in the medilogic platform measuring system is a static pressure
measurement comparable to the classic blue print.
A click on this button will start the control menu, that helps the user through the process of making a
outline measurement. It is easily controlled using three Buttons located on the platform and in the soft-
ware:
Black Arrow : „Back“ - one step backwards in the process,
Green Check : „OK“ - accept the result of the current step and continue
Red Cross : „Cancel“ - cancel the whole foot outline process

After a short period of load on the pressure measuring platform (loading the foot without lifting it from
the platform) the outline can be drawn around the foot with the rounded side of the pen delivered with
the system. Drawing of the pen (soft pressure and average speed) is supported by acoustic feed back,
which tells You that the currently touche pressure point has been recorded for the outline.
Please read the notes for doing the outline measurement: see 5.3 (wireless pressure measurement plat-
form)
After the outline process is finished it is advisable to save the measurement, if You think it is worth
saving.

medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.3.4 Replaying a Recording

The segmented replay bar is used to play back a recording, either after recording or loading it. I works
like most devices for replaying recordings. The arrow direction indicates the play direction:
Slow motion (speed can be set in the dialogue Options/Display-General)

Replay in normal speed (depending on computer speed frames can be skipped)

Fast Forward or Fast Rewind (classic basic programme view only)

Pause (stops the replay at any chosen point in time)

All replay buttons will lock with one short click and reset with a second click (going to pause mode).
If the buttons are pressed continuously they will not lock but reset to pause after release.
The option ‘infinite loop’ will start the replay at the beginning as soon as the end is reached.

6.3.5 Loading Measurement/Comparative Measurement

Clicking the grey folder allows You to load a measurement from the database, with the magenta folder
You can load a comparative measurement for comparison.
In the classic basic programme interface You can find this function in the menu ‘data’ ‘load data’ and
‘load comparative data’.
The corresponding chapters 6.5.2 and 6.5.3 in this manual give a detailed explanation.

6.3.6 Evaluation Maximum Pressure

The button with "MAX" on it switches to the display of maximum pressure graph-
ics. Now the highest values for every sensor from the whole recording or the cur-
rently zoomed period are displayed

6.3.7 Evaluation Average Pressure

The button with the average icon switches the display to averages graphics. Now
the average values for every sensor for the whole recording or the zoomed part are
displayed.
The method for the average calculation can tailored to incorporate all values or only the values above a
certain threshold. This can be set using the menu ‘Options’ ‘Display/General’ ‘Method for Calculation
of Averages’. We suggest the setting ‘20% of the maximum’, if You want to evaluate the pressure val-
ues from the load phase of a step. see 6.8.1 Options „Display / General“

Page 34
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.3.8 Evaluation Momentum

 only available with the insole measuring system
The „IMP“- button switches the display to the momentum graphics. (Pressure)
Momentum with the physical unit [N s / cm2] results from the multiplication of
pressure [N/cm2] and time [s]. It is calculated for every sensor and normalised for
the step. This evaluation takes into account pressure and time of load.
While the MAX evaluation shows high values that might be short lived, the momentum evaluation
shows up values where over an extended period an average load persisted. The combination of both
evaluations facilitate the production of optimal insoles, which take into account single peaks and per-
manent loads.

6.3.9 Evaluation Gait line

 only available with the insole measuring system
This button will display the gait lines which represent the progression of the centre
of pressure for every step as a black line. They are calculated for every foot separ-
ately.
The gait line is a biomechanical evaluation used as a graphical representation of the roll of during
walking.

6.3.10 Evaluation Cyclogram

 only available with the insole measuring system
This will button will display the cyclogram graphics. It is a representation of the
progression of the centre of pressure for the body as whole.
Normally the lines have the shape of a butterfly and correspond to the symmetry of the gait. Activating
the option „display Cyclogram for MAX,... “ displays the progression of the centre of pressure for dy-
namic platform measurements.

6.3.11 Gait Analysis

This button gives access to specific evaluations for gait analysis.
In the classic basic programme interface the functions can be found in the menu ‘Gait Ana-
lysis’. The corresponding chapter 6.6 of this manual gives detailed explanations for these
functionalities.

6.3.12 Evaluation I. + II. Step

 only available with the platform measuring system and in classic ba-
sic programme view
( see 6.4 )

For a dynamic platform measurement this button will display the maximum pressure for first and
second step. For this evaluation it does not matter on which half of the platform the customer stepped.
We suggest that the left and right half of the platform are used just like during a static measurement.
If more than two steps were recorded, the zoom function in the time graphics display can be used to
choose two relevant load periods. The first and second step from that period will then be displayed.
For this correct detection of steps a minimal pause between the two steps has to exist, where there is
no load on the platform.

Page 35
medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.3.13 Switching between Graphics Displays

These Buttons switch between different types of graphic display.(isobar-
ic display, sensor display, 3D-display from different perspectives).
see 6.4.1
see 6.4.2
see 6.4.3

6.3.14 Comparing two Measurements

 this functionality is not available with the basic platform systems
The buttons below appear only when a comparative measurement has been loaded. Here You can set
up which parts of the two measurements are displayed.
- current measurement (also used for recording a measurement )

- comparative measurement (additionally loaded measurement)

- comparison between the tow left feet from both measurements

- comparison between the tow right feet from both measurements

 only available with the insole measuring system

- difference of values between the current and comparative measurement.
Areas with little difference are depicted in green, increased load in yellow and
red and decreased load in blue.
- Due to the maximum resolution of the colour scale the graphic of value differ-
ences will show as maximum differences +/- 50% of maximum pressure. Higher
differences resulting from different foot positions will be shown as the maximum
difference of 50% of maximum pressure (e.g. maximum pressure = 64 N/cm² =>
maximum difference = 32 N/cm²)
- the difference graphic is only valid and useful if the foot position on the insoles
is identical for both measurements, so that pressure differences in the same sensor
position are evaluated.

If You are looking at a comparison between both left or both right feet, the information about the
measurement will be displayed in the title bar and note if the mouse cursor hovers over one of the dis-
played feet or platform halves. (This display is only available in sensor or isobaric display)
see 6.5.3

6.3.15 Data menu

This button is only available in the new basic programme interface and is used to access the
data management functionalities and various export interfaces.
In the classic basic programme interface these can be found in the menu ‘Data’.
The details can be found in chapter 6.5 of this manual.

6.3.16 Customer Details

This button opens the a dialogue to edit customer details(e.g. name, address) and allows You
to generate a new customer file prior to starting a measurement.
In the classic basic programme interface this can be found in the menu ‘Data’. Chapter 6.5.5
of this manual gives detailed information.

6.3.17 Print Out

This button will open a list of available print outs.
In the classic basic programme interface this can be found in the ‘print out’ menu. In
Chapter 6.7 in this manual You can find detailed information about print outs.

6.3.18 Options
This button gives access to the options for the programme and the configuration of the
WLAN data transmission.

6.4 Display
As mentioned above we have designed the programmes for the insole foot pressure measurement sys-
tem and the platform system in a way that makes learning and using it as easy and quick as possible.
The graphic below shows the most important elements as displayed for the medilogic platform meas-
urement system. The interface for the insole system is very similar and described in section see 6.3 .
The user interface for the medilogic scanner can be found in the chapter 6.4. Scan of the correspond-
ing manual.

The title bar of the medilogic programme has some basic, important information. The name of the cur-
rent customer, date and time of the measurement, zoom and insole size (for the insole system only) can
be found here.
All buttons are arranged in groups. All main functions during recording and replay can be accessed
using these. The details can be found in see 6.3 B.We will explain the functions relevant to the display
here:
These buttons switch between the different display modes.(colour dis-
play, 3D-display with different views and isobaric display).

Page 38
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.4.1 Isobaric - Display

The isobaric display colour codes the pressure values from the insole or platform sys-
tems so that areas with the same colour share the same pressure value. To achieve a
higher spatial resolution mathematical algorithms are used to calculate pressure values
between the sensors.

The pressure corresponding to a colour can be read

from the colour scale at the bottom of the screen.
The relation between colour and pressure is influ-
enced by the zero threshold and maximum pressure
set in the programme. Setting the maximum pressure
with the slide bar allows You to compare measure-
ments of customers with different weights and still
using the full colour range.
This setting can be changed at any time after a record-
ing has been made.

see 6.8.2 „Colour Table“

Hovering the mouse cursor over the isobaric display
will show the pressure value at this position on to the
right side of the graphic area as ‘current pressure’.

6.4.2 Sensor Display

If this display mode is selected the graphic will show the sensors in the insole or plat-
form. Pressures are represented as colours.

The pressure corresponding to a colour can be read

from the colour scale at the bottom of the screen.
The relation between colour and pressure is influ-
enced by the zero threshold and maximum pressure
set in the programme. Setting the maximum pressure
with the slide bar allows You to compare measure-
ments of customers with different weights and still us-
ing the full colour range.
This setting can be changed at any time after a record-
ing has been made.
see 6.8.2 „Colour Table“

Inside every sensor field the values can be displayed

as numbers (‘Options’ ‘Display/General’ ‘Numeric
Value in Sensor’). These values are independent from
the settings of zero threshold and maximum pressure.
In the 5.x versions this option is only available in the
insole programme for readability reasons.
Hovering the mouse cursor over a sensor field will
show the value to the right of the graphic as ‘current
pressure’.

Page 39
medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.4.3 3D-Display
The 3D Display can be set to three predefined view points. It represents the pressure val-
ues as colour and hight. The relation between colours and pressures can be read from the
colour scale at the bottom of the screen.

The relation between colour and pressure is influ-

enced by the zero threshold and maximum pressure
set in the programme. Setting the maximum pressure
with the slide bar allows You to compare measure-
ments of customers with different weights and still
using the full colour range.
This setting can be changed at any time after a record-
ing has been made.
see 6.8.2 „Colour Table“
Hovering the mouse cursor over the 3D display will
show the pressure value at this position on to the right
side of the graphic area as ‘current pressure’.

6.4.4 ‘Area with Load’

 only available for the insole system
This graphic shows how many percent of pressure values are above the zero
threshold. This represents the percent of insole area loaded.
If the zero threshold is set to 0.0 N/cm² the graphic vanishes, since it would al-
ways read 100%.

6.4.5 ‘Percent of Load’

 only available for the platform system
These values represent the percentage of load on the left and right half
of the platform. The values are displayed at the bottom of the screen
for the 10.x software and at the top for the 5.x software versions.
This requires a measurement where both halves of the platform recor-
ded load of two feet separately. Each foot has to stand or roll over one
halve without crossing the middle line.
This lets You evaluate the symmetry of load distribution while stand-
ing or walking.

Page 40
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.4.6 ‘Colour Scale’

The colour scale shows the relation between colours and pressure values for the isobaric, sensor and
3D display. The lower end is defined by the zero threshold (set in the ‘Options’) the upper end by the
maximum pressure (set with the slider for maximum Pressure).
The numbers underneath the colours represent the dividers between the colours and represent the low-
est value for the colour going to the right. The values are rounded to an decimal everywhere they are
shown (beneath the colour scale, in a sensor field or under ‘current pressure’).
The number of colour steps can be set in the ‘Options’.
In the new basic programme interface the colour scale can be collapsed using the arrow key on the
right hand side. This key can be used to show the colour scale again.
see6.8.2 „Colour Table“

6.4.7 Adjusting the colour scale using ‘ maximum pressure’

The relation between colour steps and pressure values can be set using the slider ‘maximum pressure’ .
The setting defines the pressure value (N/cm²)to be represented by the last colour step (dark red). The
colour table is scaled accordingly. This allows You to set the optimal colour range for every measure-
ment. This is especially useful if individuals with widely different weights have to be evaluated.
Setting the maximum pressure to the
highest value of a measurement ensures the
best possible contrast displaying the pres-
sure values. It does not change the numbers.
For most cases it is advisable to set the maximum pressure to the highest pressure occurring in the
current measurement, ensuring the best possible pressure representation. This setting can be made by
the software automatically, if ‘Options’ /‘Colour Table’ /‘automatically adjust max. pressure’ is set.
The alternative would be to use ‘manual adjustment’ and set the value by hand.
In the new basic programme interface You can also click and drag the mouse over the colour scale to
change the value. Moving the mouse to the right will move the colour spectrum towards red (max.
pressure is decreased); reversely moving the mouse to the left shifts the colour spectrum towards blue
(max. pressure is increased). see6.8.2 „Colour Table“ function: „max. pressure: Setting the colours for
display“
Two markers are available in the classic basic programme interface above the slider. These give quick
access to two setting (e.g. for walking and standing) by clicking on them. To change the marker posi-
tion hold the ‘Ctrl’ -Key down click on one marker and drag it to the desired potion.
This is also available for the colour scale used with the momentum graphic (max. momentum
(Ns/cm2).

Page 41
medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.4.8 ‘time graphic’

During recording and replay of a measurement the time graphic is drawn or shown. During replay You
can set the point in time for values from the measurement.
This graphic displays the average pressure
values for each side (red: left insole/ platform
halve; blue right insole/platform halve).
The unit for the x – axis is seconds.

In the classic basic programme interface a white triangle above the time graphic indicates the current
position in the measurement for which the values are displayed. The position (and with it the triangle)
can be moved using click and drag with the mouse or the buttons from the replay section.
In the new basic programme interface a yellow triangle below the graphic has the same function.
In this interface a scroll bar is displayed above the time graphic, if the measurement is zoomed. The
zoomed area can be moved using the scroll bar. The time graphic can in the new interface can be col-
lapsed and unfolded using the arrow key on the right hand side.
In order to zoom in on a period of interest click the mouse on the first point in time and drag it two the
last point in time You want to inspect and release the mouse button. This works wit both basic pro-
gramme interfaces. You can zoom again and again until only three single points in time are visible
(marked by little squares).
All evaluations and replay function (replay, slow motion, maximum, average, gait analysis etc.) only
are calculated for the displayed period. If the measurement is not saved yet only the zoomed period
will be saved.
To look at the whole measurement period again click once anywhere in the time graphic.
The representation is only meant for orientation purposes, a detailed graphic to scale is available in
‘gait analysis’/’time graphic’.

see 6.6.3
see 6.4.1
see 6.4.2
see 6.4.3

Page 42
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.4.9 ‘Note’
For every measurement a note can be displayed, which can be entered while saving the measurement.
To hide or show the note set the ‘Option’/’Display/General’/’Display Note’ see 6.8.1 Options „Display
/ General“) The size and position of the note can be adjusted using the left mouse button by clicking
and dragging. With a saved and loaded measurement You can change or enter new information by
double clicking on the note. Now You are in edit mode (cursor is blinking) and can write or change the
text.
With a right click in the note a context menu will appear with these options:

 Undo all changes since entering edit mode

 Select all , to select all of the text in the note
 a selection of predefined text blocks to speed up entry of standard texts (diagnoses etc.)
 Add new text module , to create a new text block
 delete text module , to delete a text block from the list

Clicking anywhere outside the note will end the edit mode.

On the right note as displayed in the new basic programme interface.

6.5 Data
Measurement data can be saved and loaded for later viewing and evaluation. The 5.x versions
of the software save the data to the ‘\Data’ subdirectory of the medilogic programme path or a
specified network location. The 10.x versions store the data in the SQL server installed with
the system (if not present) either locally or on a network location of Your choice.
Identifying information is first name and name (additionally date of birth) of the customer as well as
time and date of recording. Additional information can be saved with the measurement (e.g. note, body
weight, email address etc).

6.5.1 Saving Data

After recording has stopped the measurement can be saved. The period of the measurement
shown in the time graphics is saved. This offers You the chance to exclude parts at the begin-
ning or end with unwanted data (e.g. customer just starting to walk from standing, or trip-
ping).
see 6.4.8 ‘time graphic’"
The ‘Save’ button (floppy disk symbol) can be used to call up the save dialogue (or the menu
‘Data/saving’ in the 5.x version). To simply this the dialogue can be called up automatically when the
recording stops. This can be set in ‘Options’ ‘Usability’ ‘Show Save Dialogue after recording’.

Page 44
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

In the middle part of the memory the information about first name and name are mandatory in order to
save a measurement. Entering the date of birth will further increase the programmes ability to differen-
tiate Your customers.

The notes are saved for every measurement separately, entry is not mandatory. To speed up the entry of
notes and diagnoses text blocks can be inserted using the right mouse button. see 6.4.9
The ‘Advanced’ button unfolds (and folds) an area with additional information about the measurement
and the customer (e.g. address). This can also be accessed using the ‘Edit Customer Data’ dialogue
see 6.5.5 .
If You want to use gait analytical evaluations You need to enter information about the length of the
walkway or the treadmill speed as well as body height and weight of the customer. Should You not
wish to use these evaluations or evaluation is not possible (e.g. walking very erratic) You can leave
these fields empty. To make entry of this information mandatory You can set the check in ‘Options’
‘Usability’ ‘make entering body height and weight mandatory’.
The upper part of the dialogue gives access to customers already stored in the system in order to save a
new measurement with that customer. Your customers can be grouped to make it easier to locate them,
if You want to access all customers select ‘show all’. The drop down selection ‘Name’ list all custom-
ers of the selected group in alphabetical order. You can also sort the customers by the date of their last
measurement setting the check next to the ‘Group’ drop down list.
The field ‘Quick Search’ lets You find a customer by entering first name or name. The search start as
soon as You start entering letters and will show information for the first hit immediately. The drop
down list lets You choose insurance number or customer number as alternate criteria.
To enter a new Customer click the ‘New Customer’ button (all fields will be emptied). If You need a
new group You can create one by clicking ‘New Group’, otherwise select the group from the drop
down list You wish to associate with the customer.
When the dialogue opens the most recent customers information will be shown. If the information
about the customer is correct You can confirm by clicking the ‘OK’ button. Otherwise use the ‘New
Customer’ button to create a new customer entry and fill in the information necessary.
To jump from field to field use the TAB-key or click into the field of interest.
Note: For quick handling the dialogue will position the cursor in the field ‘First Name’ hitting the
‘ENTER’ key will set it to the ‘Name’ field , then the ‘Date of Birth’ field the next hit on the ‘ENTER’
key will operate the ‘OK’ button and save the measurement.
Saving a measurement is only possible if a new recording has been made, otherwise the access is
denied (greyed out). This is meant to prevent saving a measurement twice.
If You configured the medilogic system to access external data bases for customer data (‘Options’’Ex-
tra’’External Databases’) data entry can be speeded up.

Page 45
medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.5.2 Loading Data

Saved data can be loaded into the software. Thus the data is again available for viewing and
evaluation. Please use the ‘Data’’Load’ menu item to do this.

Choose the customer group (or ‘Show all’) and the customer You are looking for from the drop down
list ‘Name’. Default sorting criterium is the name, if the check ‘use measurement date as sorting cri-
terium’ is set the customers most recently measured will be listed first. For every day use this eases
locating Your customers.
In the list below You can select the desired measurement by clicking on it. The entries show time and
date of the measurement, the sensors used, length of the measurement, sampling rate and the note if
entered. Using the ‘OK’ button will cause the measurement to be loaded into the software and the dia-
logue to close.
Note: You can also double click on the measurement for more speedy loading.
The ‘Quick Search’ field lets You locate customers quickly using first name, name, insurance number
or customer number.
If You select a measurement made with a different programme mode (e.g. insole, platform) the current
one, the software will automatically switch to the needed programme.

6.5.3 Loading Comparative measurement

For the insole measuring system and the platform measuring system it often is useful to
compare two measurement side by side. To do that Use ‘Data’’load comparative measure-
ment’.
The dialogue mirrors the one used for loading a current measurement. ( see 6.5.2 )
After successfully loading a comparative measurement an additional button block is displayed. The
black feet represent the measurement first loaded (current measurement), the magenta coloured feet
represent the second measurement loaded (comparative measurement)see 6.3.14
All evaluations are also available for the comparative measurement. The measurements are compared
for the side of the feet or platform halve (left-left or right -right). Use the corresponding buttons to se-
lect.

Page 46
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.5.4 Deleting measurements / Customers / Groups

The menu item ‘Data’’Delete...’ allows You to delete measurements, customer entries and
groups no longer needed. Selecting the element to be deleted is analogue to 6.5.2 .
Pressing the button ‘Delete Group’ or ‘Delete Customer’ will delete the customer shown in
the drop down list or the group from the drop down list with all its customers. Clicking ‘Delete meas-
urement(s) will delete all measurements selected in the list ‘measurement’. Please check carefully
whether to confirm the confirmation dialogue whether these object should really be deleted.

6.5.5 Edit Customer Data

The menu item ‘Data’’Edit Customer Data’ is used to call up the dialogue used to access
and edit customer data (e.g. name, address etc.). You can also use it to create new groups or
customer entries with the buttons ‘New Group’ ‘New Customer’ before recording a meas-
urement and saving it to the database. Handling is similar to 6.5.1Saving Data. Entry can also be done
using external databases see 6.8.3 „Extra“ The drop down list ‘New Group assignment’ lets you shift
customer entries between the groups.
When the dialogue is opened it always presents the customer called up most recently. But You can ac-
cess any customer from this dialogue.
If any information for a customer has been changed, selecting other customers is denied until the ‘Ap-
ply’ button is clicked.

6.5.6 Data Administration (Backup / Restore/ Export Customer data to CSV table)
Making a backup to an external storage device, other computer or server is a good idea for
all systems. The menu item ‘Data’ ‘Data Administration’ opens a dialogue to do that.

‘Backup’
Data selected by the user can be saved to a location as entered in the field ‘Backup to:’. Information
about the customer and the selected measurements as well as printer page settings will be saved . For

Page 47
medilogic Pressure Measurement

the 5.x version a file backup.mdb, a ‘Data’ folder and if applicable the ‘logo.bmp’ are written to the
chosen location. The 10x. Version write a file like:
‘medilogic.T&T medilogic_Database_Backup_2017.12.13_10.08.51.tar’
If the check ‘Also copy video files’ is set video files are copied too, please make sure sufficient space
is available in the storage location.
It is advisable to check the medilogic data base for consistency using the button ‘Check medilogic
Database’, to avoid backing up corrupted data.
Note: Only use this process to backup data, copying by hand can lead to the loss of customer data.

‘Restore’
The reverse process to backup is data restoration (‘Restore’). Data is retrieved from the location
entered in the field ‘Restore from’. The medilogic software has to find the file(s) that were created by
the backup process.

„Data logger“
The medilogic data logger (optional auxiliary only available with UPAT 4 systems) integrates data sav-
ing in the Upat4 wireless transmitter. Whether data is transmitted or stored is selected in the tab ‘Data
logger’ where You can choose between data logger or wireless transmission on the right hand side.
To configure the data logger the Upat4 transmitter needs to be switched on without sensors attached to
it.
At the bottom of the dialogue the current communication status with the data logger is shown. To re-
cord in data logger mode set the option in this dialogue an switch on the Upat4 transmitter with
sensors attached to it. The recording as configured starts immediately.
- Configuring the Data Logger
Opening the dialogue with the transmitter switched on and no sensors attached will start a readout of
the current configuration from the data logger.

Page 48
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

In the upper part of the dialogue on the right hand side choose the option ‘Data Logger’. The relevant
parameters became available for editing. The schedule for recording measurement(s) can be detailed
using the parameters. You need to specify the sensors You intend to use in the drop down list
‘Sensors’. Default selection is Flex-Sohle (insole), other sensor are available in the list.
If in doubt please contact hotline support for correct settings.
‘Run of measurements’ describes measurements made consecutively according to the parameters set,
normally for one customer. After configuring and switching on the device, connect the sensors and
switch on again, this will start the run of measurements.
The following parameters are available for a run of measurements
Time before start of run Defines the delay between the moment of switch on and the start
of measurements of the first recording.
Duration of one measure- The duration for a recording period, identical for all recordings in
ment the run
Pause between record- Defines the interval between two recordings
ings
Over all duration Defines the over all time for the run of measurements, this in-
cludes the pause intervals
Start/Stop-Beep Defines whether the Upat4 sounds are suppressed. Suggested if
You think the irritate during the run of measurements
Using these parameters the programme estimates the amount of storage space required. The blue bar at
the bottom of this section shows the amount of space planned in relation to the amount available. The
calculation can be viewed hovering the mouse over the bar. Should the planned space exceed the avail-
able space the bar will turn red.
After setting the parameters for the configuration You need to click the button ‘write configuration to
data logger’ to transfer the information from the software to the data logger. In order to do this the Up-
at4 transmitter needs to be switched on without sensors attached. The configuration now written can
be read back from the data logger when it is next connected to the software (no sensors attached).

- Recording with the Data Logger

After the configuration has been written to the data logger as described above, it can now operate inde-
pendently from the PC.
To prepare for recording it is advisable to switch the Upat4 transmitter off, connect the sensors and
then switch the Upat4 transmitter back on again.
When the Upat4 transmitter is switched on a short series of beeps indicates that it is in data logger
mode.
The run of measurements starts immediately. As set in the configuration the recording starts after the
set delay. The start of a recording is indicated by a short beep the end by two short beeps. These
sounds can be deactivated in the configuration.
Pressing down the button on the side of the Upat4 transmitter longer will switch off the device and
stop recording and run for measurements immediately.
Note: Before changing the type of sensors You use You must set them in the data logger configuration
and transfer it to the device.(see Kap 6.5.6 (Backup / Restore/ Export Customer data to CSV table))
- Receiving Data from the Data Logger
To read the data from the data logger use the lower part of the data logger dialogue called ‘Data re-
trieval’ . The Upat4 transmitter has to be switched on without any sensors attached. An overview re-
cordings for the sensor type selected will be shown.
To retrieve a recording select it using the left mouse button. You can enter time and date of the record-
ing, if left empty current time and date are used. ‘Start’ begins the process of transfer.

Page 49
medilogic Pressure Measurement

After finishing the recording is displayed and can be saved providing the information about the cus-
tomer. The space used and the number of recordings is provided as additional information.
The storage space an the data logger can be freed using the button ‘delete all measurements from the
data logger’.

„Export Customer data to CSV table“

This function will convert the customer information from the data base and export it to a csv-file read-
able with spreadsheet software like LibreOffice Calc. You can use the customer information in other
applications, for example to generate a serial letter using LibreOffice Writer. You can export the whole
data set or select only some customer. see 6.5.5

6.5.7 Save to.. ; Import from...

To transfer a measurement currently loaded use the menu item ‘Data’’Save to...’ to save it to USB-
Stick, network drive or similar. The target directory set in ‘Options’’Extra’ has to be writeable and
provide enough storage space. measurements stored in the location can be imported into the software
using the menu item ‘Import from...’
If specified in the options the measurement will be deleted after successful import and display.

6.5.8 E-Mail
This menu item gives access to a dialogue for sending and receiving measurements using e-
mail. After receiving the measurements can be viewed and evaluated in medilogic software.

How does E-Mail work – a short introduction

You need to have an e-mail account with a provider of Your choice with at least one email address. We
also assume that You use this address only to transfer data for the medilogic system. Since there are a
lot of free email providers out there, this poses no limitation and makes handling much more comfort-
able.
Lets assume Bob wants to send Alice an e-mail, then they have to follow the steps below:

1. Bob presses the ‘send’ button when the e-mail is ready for sending. The software now connects
Bobs computer with the server of his e-mail provider. Between the computers the SMTP (Simple
Message Transfer Protocol) is used to transfer the email. This simple protocol provides no au-
thentication mechanism. Since many providers now insist on one to prevent spam and phishing
we need one of the following methods. „POP before SMTP“ will use the information provided to
receive email to send it, so Bob will have to receive mail first providing username and password.
„SMTP_Auth“ is the SMTP enhanced with an authentication mechanism, it is the usual method
nowadays and therefore default.
2. After successful authentication by Bob the e-mail gets send.
3. Bobs provider will send the e-mail to a POP server used by Alice where it waits for retrieval.
4. Alice clicks the ‘Check Post Office Box’, the Software connects to the POP Server and retrieves
the e-mail after successful authentication.

E-Mail Settings
As You can see from the preceding section some settings are necessary to successfully send and re-
ceive e-mail. You find these clicking the menu item ‘Data’’E-Mail’.
Should You not have the information needed here please contact Your e-mail provider.
For data security reasons we strongly suggest encryption. To do this please enter a 5 digit security code
and send it to the receiver of the e-mail, otherwise the data can not be read and imported into
the medilogic software.
Should the remainder of the window not be self-explanatory please contact hotline support
Page 50
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

Fetch e-mail from [email protected]

After entering the POP3 information in the e-mail settings, check whether e-mails are available for re-
trieval. If that is the case the buttons ‘Fetch measurement’ and ‘Delete e-mail’ become available.
The check ‘Clear measurements after downloading’ will cause the software to delete the e-mail from
the server after successful retrieval. ‘Show measurements after downloading’ will display the measure-
ment after it was successfully retrieved.
To save time You can limit the number of e-mails listed.

Send measurement to [email protected]

After entering the SMTP information in the E-Mail settings and the recipients e-mail address, You can
send the measurement currently loaded using the ‘send measurement’ button.
Note: If the time graphic shows a zoomed period, only that will be sent

Page 51
medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.5.9 Exporting Data to External Programmes

This menu item allows You to write the currently displayed measurement to file, which can
be read by external programmes. Export to csv-file writes the current measurement so that it can be
opened with spreadsheet programmes like LibreOffice Calc and evaluated using statistical or other
tools.
The load distribution measurement can also be exported for a number of computer aided milling sys-
tems: ID:CAM, pedcad,IETEC, ComfortSpline or Ortho-Fit. For pedcad- and ComfortSpline-export
the evaluation average load distribution is used with a threshold of 80% ignoring all values below
that. For the IETEC-exportes the average of pressure maxima from all steps are used.
To enhance the display for the ID:CAMSystem set the check ‘Increased Sensor Resolution’. If You
routinely export measurements You can set the check ‘Automatically export when saving a measure-
ment’
see 6.8.1 Options „Display / General“: Methods for Average Calculation

Export Data to CSV-Table

The menu item ‘Data’’Export’ opens a dialogue to export the currently loaded measurement to a csv
table. As ‘Path’ enter or select the desired location.
Six sets of files are generated if appropriate:
Name_firstName_DateOfBirth_time of recording_
_CYCL.CSV → COP coordinates of cyclogramme
_FFT.CSV → Fast Fourier Transform
_GL_L.CSV → COP coordinates of gait line left
_GL_R.CSV → COP coordinates of gait line right
_L.CSV → sensor values left
_R.CSV → sensor values right
To import the data to the spreadsheet programme select ‘;’ as field separator in the dialogue displayed
before import.
The sensor values are the raw ADC (Analog Digital Converter) values from the system (unless the
check ‘in metric unit of measurement N/cm², otherwise ADC value’ is set, which is available 10.x up-
wards).
To calculate N/cm² from the ADC values follow these steps:

Page 52
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

1. Find out the maximum Pressure the system is calibrated to (the maximum Value the slider
‘maximum pressure’ allows)For insole an platform measurement typically 64 N/cm².
2. Calculate N/cm² from ADC values (Digits):
csv−value[ADC Digit ]∗max . pressure[ N /cm ² ]
Pressure Value [ N /cm ²]=
255[ADC Digit ]

ONLY use the export of gait line and cyclogram when the display mode is set to an isobaric
display (either 2D or 3D)
The coordinate system below is the frame of reference:

6.5.10 Link a Scan with a currently loaded Measurement

For advanced evaluation the measurement currently loaded (insole/platform) can be overlayed with
scan image made with the foot scanner. In order to do this You need to link the scan with the measure-
ment using the menu item ‘Link Scan to currently loaded measurement’.
The overlay function is only available with the 2D isobaric Display and activated using the check in
the upper right hand corner of the screen. To adjust the overlay a slider is right next to the checkbox.
You can position the Scan for each foot separately using the mouse:
Left mouse button to move.
Right mouse button to rotate.

Note: The position of the scan images can be reset by holding the ‘0’ (Zero) key down and hovering
the mouse over the graphic are.

6.6 Gait Analysis

Measuring and evaluating the human locomotor behaviour is interesting in the fields of or-
thopaedics, surgery, neurology, work-, accident and sports medicine and many related
fields. For diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation reliable and reproducible information is
indispensable.
The aim of technically aided gait analysis is the measurement and evaluation of characteristic values to
optimize the human locomotor behaviour. The results have to be presented in a user friendly manner.
In the field of prosthetics for example measurements can show how a prosthesis is loaded and adjusted
to be an adequate limb replacement.
Optimizing orthesis optimization is also possible. Gait analysis is used to document and optimize heal-
ing and rehabilitation.
Note: For gait analytical measurement well defined conditions are indispensable. There are two ways
to achieve that. Either You use a defined walk way with known length or the measurement is done on a
treadmill with known speed.
An important basis for the gait analysis is to calculate customer specific average step:

During recording a number of steps are re-

corded. Using mathematical algorithms the
average step is calculated.
see 6.4.8

The process used eliminates steps that vary to much from the average. Four valid steps are necessary
to calculate the average step, if the algorithm can not find at least that many the average step can not
be calculated. Using the zoom function a period without erratic steps can be selected making the calcu-
lation possible. see 6.4.8
Pressure sensors from defined areas of the insole are combined and the average step calculated for
these areas. The average step is also calculated for every sensor separately.
Note: The attribution of areas is the mirror image for the right foot

Page 54
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.6.1 Gait Parameters

 only available for the insole system
From long years of experience in the field of technically aided gait analysis we identified meaningful
parameter for practical application when evaluating human gait. The parameters mainly have their ori-
gin in load distribution under the foot. Further parameters are time based like speed, stance phase dur-
ation and step length (calculated from speed).

The upper part of the dialogue displays basic customer data like age, body height and weight. The
lower part displays the gait parameters in four sections.
To give the user a quick overview the calculated parameters are compared to a database from test per-
sons with normal gait patterns compiled by T&T medilogic. The colour coding indicates the position
of the current parameter in relation to the norm. Green signals that the parameter is within the normal
range. Yellow means as slight to middle deviation and red a strong deviation.
The value the customers parameters is compared to is the average of the comparison group. The in-
ternal data base uses about 800 measurements from 164 test candidates at different speeds. So para-
meters that are influenced by speed are evaluated correctly.

This internal database is continuously updated by T&T medilogic. It is a valuable tool to evaluate gait
parameters.

Note: The colour red does not necessarily signify a pathological condition, but only that the parameter
deviates strongly from the comparison group.

The parameters from the comparison group are only valid for evaluation walking not running. The
parameters for running are being developed at the moment.
The section ‘General Gait Parameters’ hold parameters for the basic gait properties.
Speed is a vital value for quantitative gait analysis. Human beings instinctively choose the speed
which is adequate for their locomotor abilities. Very low speeds are indicators for pathological condi-

Page 55
medilogic Pressure Measurement

tions. Many gait parameters are dependent on speed, so that comparing different measurements is
only valid if recorded at comparable speeds (e.g. before and after care).
Speed is also dependent an body height. Big people generally walk faster than small. It has therefore
proven useful to calculate the relative speed which takes into account the body height of a person.
vrel is defined:
v
vrel  in [1/s].
L0
A complete gait cycle starts with the heel strike of the first foot and ends with the heel strike of the
same foot. This is called a double step. The double step length L is the way covered during a double
step. This is obviously also dependent on body height.
The relative double step length Lrel is defined as:
L
Lrel  .
L0
A short double step length is indicative of insecurities during walking.
Double step duration is the time needed to complete one double step. The reciprocal value is the
double step frequency.
Two leg stance is the part of a double step when both feet are on the ground. A high value is indicative
of insecurities during walking.
The stance phase duration is calculated for each leg separately. It represents the percentage of the
double step when the foot is on the ground. For patients with impairments to one side (e.g. prosthesis
or injury) the stance phase duration for that side is often shorter then that of the other side.
Effective foot length is calculated from the average gait line and related to the insole length. It shows
how much the foot is used for roll off. People with impaired ability to lift the fore foot have a very
short effective foot length.
Width of the gait line evaluates the variation of the gait line to the in medial and lateral direction. It is
calculated relative to the width of the insole. It is a good indication how much the steps vary. A very
narrow gait line can be indicative of tiredness of impaired coordination. Lesions to the ankle joint of-
ten lead to very narrow gait lines.
The section to the left of the first evaluates scatter.
Scatter of the double step duration and stance phase (left and right) is used to evaluate the evenness of
the gait. Large scatter indicates insecure gait.
The lower left section deals with load.
To calculate load the area beneath the pressure – time curve of the average step. The loads are calcu-
lated for different areas of the foot see 6.6.2
The following abbreviations are used:
StD stance phase duration
PV average pressure under the forefoot
PM average pressure under the mid foot
PF average pressure under the heel
PA average pressure under the lateral part of the foot
PI average pressure under the medial part of the foot
PG average pressure under the whole foot

The loads are calculated as follows:

StD StD
forefoot: IV =  Pv dt lateral: IA =  PA dt
0 0

Page 56
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

StD StD
Mid foot: IM =  PM dt medial: II =  PI dt
0 0
StD StD
Heel : IF =  PF dt whole: IG =  PG dt
0 0

The section bottom left contains symmetry parameters

Every time a gait parameter can be calculated for each foot separately it is also possible to calculate a
symmetry parameter. Assuming PR is a parameter for the right foot and PL for the left foot a sym-
metry S can be calculated as follows:
(P  PL )
S R ´ 100 in [%]
(PR  PL )
Symmetry parameters for stance phase duration, effective foot length and loads are displayed.

If You have loaded current and comparative measurement You can compare them directly in this dia-
logue using the buttons with the coloured feet to switch between the measurements or calculate the dif-
ference.
The button ‘csv export’ stores the parameters displayed on the hard disk in the csv format (separator
‘;’).
Printout of the gait parameters is possible when the gait parameter dialogue is open via ‘Print’’Gait
parameters’

6.6.2 ‘Average Step’

 only available with the insole system
The dialogue ‘Average Step’ displays one step, the result of averaging all valid steps of the current
measurement see 6.6
The drop down lists in the upper part of the dialogue are used to select relevant channels (e.g. heel
area, whole foot etc.) to be displayed in the graphic below. Up to 16 channels can be displayed simul-
taneously using colours that can be chosen by clicking on the button to right of every drop down list.
If You have loaded a comparative measurement the buttons with the coloured feet at the right side can
be used to switch between the measurements of show both together (symbol of striped feet, bottom
most button). The left four drop down list are used for the current measurement (black feet) the left
four for the comparative measurement (magenta feet).
The slider at the bottom left can be used to shift the start point of the double step. On click on the ar-
row in the middle will reset the slider to the default (left heel strike as start point)
Activating the check phase will eliminate the phase difference between left and right step, which can
now be viewed side by side.

Page 57
medilogic Pressure Measurement

The x axis can be set to % double step duration (% DSD)

or time in seconds.

All adjustments made to elements in this dialogue can be

saved to a scheme, which makes using different settings
easy.

You can print the results using the menu item ‘Print’’Average Step’ as long as the average step dia-
logue is open.

6.6.3 ‘Time Graphic’

Page 58
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

This dialogue displays the pressure values for the whole measured period. In the upper part of the win-
dow eight drop down lists give access to different sensor values or areas (heel, forefoot etc.)
For the platform system only four channels are available for average left and right of the current and
comparative measurement.
Clicking on the menu item ‘Gait Analysis’’Time Graphic’ repeatedly will open multiple instances of
this dialogue. This can be useful for complex evaluations.
The period displayed in this dialogue is the same displayed in the main window. That means a zoomed
view in the main window results in a zoomed view in this dialogue.
Changes to zoom in the main window get passed right away to this dialogue without the need to reload
it.
The sliders underneath the graphic area allow You to change the minimum and max-
imum value displayed on the y axis. The setting can be saved with a scheme (see
6.6.2 The check ‘automatic scaling’ uses the graphic display to the fullest.

If You loaded current and comparative measurement the coloured feet on the right hand side let You
switch between the measurements or show both of them side by side. The left drop down lists are used
for the current the right ones for the comparative measurement.
You can print the results using the menu item ‘Print’’Time Graphic’ as long as the average step dia-
logue is open.

6.6.4 ‘DSP Dynamics

 only available in the insole system.
The menu item ‘Gait Analysis’’DSP Dynamics’ opens a dialogue with two place-time graphics.

The upper graphic displays the progression of the centre of pressure between left and right foot. The
progression corresponds directly to the step frequency.
The bottom graphic displays the progression of the centre of pressure in anterior – posterior direction.
The frequency is twice that of the step frequency.
The colour red is used for the left side the colour blue for the right.
If current and comparative measurement have been loaded the coloured feet at the right side of the dia-
logue can be used to switch between measurements (black – current, magenta - comparative)
You can print the results using the menu item ‘Print’’DSP Dynamics’ as long as the average step dia-
logue is open.

6.7 Print
Basically every graphic displayed on Your screen can be sent
to the printer. Additionally relevant information about the cus-
tomer and the measurement are added.
There are various options to print the information from the
screen to a printer installed on the WINDOWS® Operating
system
Note: Like in all the menus items not available at the moment
are greyed out and not selectable. The gait analytical evalu-
ations can only be printed when the corresponding dialogue is
open.

The printer can be selected using the menu item ‘Print’ ‘medilogic Printer setup’.

6.7.1 Print Current View

This will create a printout of the graphic currently displayed and include the relevant information
about the customer (e.g. first name, name, note etc). This insures that the printout can later be attrib-
uted a customer. If the current measurement has not been saved yet the information about the customer
is left empty. To avoid this save any measurement before printing. Independent of that the company
logo is put on the printout.
If You use the video option You can print the current view with a picture from the video associated
with that point in time (‘Current View (Video)’).

6.7.2 Print - 1:1 Sensor, Isobaric Display

The graphic currently displayed on Your screen is sent to the printer for printout in real size. This is
available for all graphics except the 3D displays. The medilogic software will check the paper size cur-
rently in use in Your printer and calculate whether the printout will fit on one page. If the picture
should exceed the available space the image will be printed on two pages.
Two printout schemes are available for isobaric and sensor display respectively.
For space considerations the company logo is not printed .

6.7.3 Print – Sequential Printout

This printout sends a time sequence of the pressure distribution measurement to the printer.
Comparable to a video sequence a number of single pictures will be printed showing the pressure dis-
tribution at different points in time during roll off. If there are more than two steps (one for the left and
one for the right foot) You get shown a dialogue asking You to mark images for printout.

6.7.4 Print – Overview Normal, 3D, Comparison

Four images are put on one page and send to the printer. Basically any graphic displayed on the screen
can be sent to the printer.
The print menu hold different configurations for the overview printout. The are identified by the name
next to overview. Should You need additional overview printouts please contact the hotline.
The company logo will also be put on the overview printout, making it an ideal handout for Your cus-
tomer.

Page 60
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.7.5 Print – Gait Parameters, Average Step, Time Graphic, DSP Dynamics
All printouts for gait analytical evaluations are only available, if the corresponding dialogue is open.
The information displayed is put into a printable format and sent to the printer. Some preconfigured
printouts with different configurations are available, should You need another configuration please
contact our hotline.
The company logo can also be printed out.

6.7.6 Print to bmp file

Printouts can be saved as *.bmp files instead of being printed on paper. These files can then be sent to
external programmes. The first time this function is used the subdirectory ‘pictures’ in the medilogic
path (normally ‘c:\programme files(86)\medilogic\’). Here the bmp files will be put with a filename
concatenated like that: name_firstName_DateOfBirth_current_number.

6.7.7 Setup Printer

The menu item ‘Print’’medilogic printer setup’ calls up the standard WINDOWS® dialogue used for
choosing end configuring a printer. Here You can set the paper size, the orientation (must be set to por-
trait) and the print quality. The print quality influences printout speed and colour use.
Other parameter that can be set up are printer specific. If in doubt consult Your printer manual.
When printing to a black and white printer the software will switch from colour table to greyscale for a
short moment to display pressure gradients as detailed as possible.
To speed up printout for every day use ‘Options’ ‘Usability’ ‘Suppress Printer Dialogue Before Print-
ing’. The printout will now start immediately without the need to confirm the printer settings.

6.7.8 Including a Company Logo

The medilogic software can add Your company logo to printouts. By default it is displayed in the up-
per right hand corner. Your company logo should be in the bitmap format and have the name logo.b-
mp. It replaces the default logo.bmp in the medilogic path (normally ‘c:\programme files(86)\medi-
logic\’). You can save the printer settings and Your logo.bmp when making a backup.
( see 6.5.6 ) .

medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.8 Options
The menu item opens a dialogue that lets You change settings to adapt the medilogic soft-
ware to Your needs. If an option is activated that is indicated by the check in front of it.
Clicking on the check will set and reset it. The setting are saved when You click ‘OK’ or
’Apply’ and loaded at the next start of the programme. Options marked by ‘*’ indicate that they are ap-
plied to the insole and platform programme and have to be set only once in either programme.
Some options are only valid for pressure measurement so if the ‘Scan Only’ (5.x version) is activated
the irrelevant options are greyed out. The same is true for the 10.x versions if You access the scanner
functions.

6.8.1 Options „Display / General“

Option: „Display Average Gait 'MAX', 'AV', 'Gait Line' and Cyclogram“
This option will overlay the maximum graphic, average graphic, gait line, cyclogram with the average
gait line.
Option: „Display Cyclogram for ‘Max’ ‘AV’ and Gait Line“
The cyclogram depicts the progression of the centre of pressure of the body over the measurement
period. Normally it has the shape of a butterfly and can be overlayed over the maximum graphic the
average graphic and the gait line. see 6.3.10
Option: „Speed of Centre of Pressure“
The gait line is coloured from blue (slow) to red (fast) to indicate the speed of the centre of pressure at
any given moment.

Page 62
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

Option: „Analysis of Running (Account for Flight Phase)“

This will force continuous lines for the cyclogram even if both feet are in the are and the centre of
pressure can not be calculated. In addition to that lines dividing left/right and forefoot/heel are shown
to facilitate the interpretation of the cyclogram.
Option: „Display Centre of Pressure in Colour Graphic“
The current centre of pressure is displayed as cross hair in colour graphic.
Option: „Also in Blue Print “
Refers to the option above and will show it in the blue print evaluation as well.
Option: „Weight Distribution in the Platform Programme (percent display)“
This option will show to percent displays with corresponding bars at the bottom of the graphic.
To indicate the load distribution between left and right side.
Option: „Quad“
Additionally to the option above for percent displays show the load distribution for left/right and fore-
foot/heel areas.
Option: „Play Loop“
When replaying a measurement the replay will not stop when it reaches the but start at the beginning
again. If the period has been zoomed into only the part shown will loop.
Option: "Sounds"
This option activates the audio signal the medilogic programme put out when starting or when sensors
are connected. They give screen independent information about the state of the programme and alert
You to messages.
Option: "Use Sound Card (Wave)"
This option will send the sounds to the sound card instead of the internal speaker. These wave files
sound smoother than the beeps from the internal speaker. You can test the sounds using the button to
the left.
Option: "Show Video Window"
If a video source is connected to Your computer (e.g. a webcam) this option will display a window
which shows the video from that source. This option can be purchased separately as software update.
To control recording and replay use the same buttons as for recording and replaying a measurement.
After recording a video the file is compressed and saved to hard disk, depending on computer speed
see 6.8.5 Options „Video“
Option: "Numeric Value in Sensor"
This will put the pressure value for every sensor in the coloured field representing that sensor in the
sensor graphic. For the platform programme this option is only available for the 10.x versions.
Option: „Highest Isobars Resolution for Printout“
For speedy recording and evaluation of measurement it can be helpful (esp. for slow computers) to set
the isobars resolution to a lower then maximum level. For the best possible printout the highest resolu-
tion is desirable and since it is only used just before the printout will not take up too much time.
Option: „Save Window Position“
This option saves the window position when the software is closed and reopens them in the same posi-
tion when the software starts again. After installation this option is not selected, should You wish to
use this function please activate it.
Option: „Projection mode (fix display size)“
If You use medilogic projection the display size has to be adjusted to ensure 1:1 projection of pressure
distribution. This option will save the setting and call it up with every start of the programme.
The button ‘Use Current Size’ will overwrite the value saved with that of the current window.

Page 63
medilogic Pressure Measurement

Option: „Scale Sensor Matrix with Window“

If this option is set the sensor matrix is scaled with the programme window. If You have a 16:9 screen
aspect ratio we suggest not using this option to avoid distorted display of insole or platform graphics.
Option: „Show Note“
Set this option to display the note in a separate window see 6.4.9

Option: „Show Photos“

You can associate up to nine photos with a measurement. The photos can be used for documentation
purposes and come from a digital camera or if You use the video option as frames from the video win-
dow. The photos associated with a measurement will be displayed if the measurement is loaded. A spe-
cial print scheme will send them to Your printer.
Option: „Method for Calculation of Averages“
This option influences the display of average pressures (see 6.3.7) . The threshold is set to eliminate
values below the number indicated beneath the slider. This helps to discern between periods with little
pressure (e.g. swing phase) and periods with higher values (e.g. stance phase). A threshold value of
20% should be ideal to eliminate the swing phase from the average calculation. In other words: the set-
ting of 20% will only calculate the average from the stance phases.
Setting the slider all the way to the right causes a special average calculation needed for Export used
with theIETEC milling machine. An average is calculated using the averages of all maximum values.
For every step and sensor the maximum value is detected separately and from these values an average
is calculated.
Option: „Isobars Resolution“
The higher the isobars resolution the more computing power is needed to display it. Should You notice
lag in displaying or recording pressure distributions, please choose a lower resolution. This will speed
up the display process.
Option: „Slow Motion Speed“
This set the ratio at which the measurement is slowed down compared to normal speed. The frame rate
for normal speed is calculated and multiplied with the values set in the drop down list. To achieve cor-
rect timing even with a slow machine frames may be dropped.

Page 64
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.8.2 Options for „Colour Table“

Option : „Colour – Black/White“

If You use a black and white display it is important to set this option. The pressure will then be coded
according to a grey scale. If You print to a black and white printer the software will automatically
switch to this mode for a short period to generate the correct grey scale.
Option: „Automatically adjust Max. Pressure“/’Get Max. Pressure from measurement’/’Manual
Adjustment’
These three options influence how the max. pressure slider works. The option we suggest is to let the
programme automatically adjust the colour distribution. That way the programme will parse the meas-
urement when it is loaded and set the colour red to that value. This displays the measurement the
highest number of colours available.
Getting the max. pressure value from the measurement will read the value set by the user when saving
the measurement. The measurement will then be displayed with the value set be the user.
The third option is to set the max. pressure value manually. The programme will not touch that value
except to call up the value set by the user in the previous session. This is useful if You want to have a
fixed relation between colour and pressure. With this setting You can compare two measurements by
just looking at the colours.
Option: „Colours“
This set the number of colours used to display pressure distributions between 8 and 128. The more col-
ours are used the more computing power is needed. For the average computer 32 colours is a good set-
ting . If You stet the number of colours higher than 32 that number is used, but the colour scale at the
bottom of the screen stays at 32 intervals, because of readability. see6.4.6

Page 65
medilogic Pressure Measurement

Option: „Zero Threshold (Pressure / Momentum)“

Only the values above the set zero threshold are displayed as colours. The colour scale starts with the
value set here. It can be set separately for pressure (N/cm2) and momentum (N/cm2 * s) graphics.
see6.4

6.8.3 Options „Extra“

Normally the software and system are setup by a technician sent by the company, he or she will make
the proper adjustments in this section. Should You feel uncertainty concerning these settings, please
don’t hesitate to contact the manufactures hotline.

Option: „Duration“
The maximum recording duration is set with this option. Keep in mind that this directly influences the
amount of storage space You need for each measurement. Use the amount of time suitable for the task.
For insole measurements we suggest 60 s for platform measurements 20 s.
Option: „Sample Frequency“
The number of samples per second is set by this option. Like the option ‘Duration’ this setting influ-
ences the storage space required for each measurement. A higher sample frequency will let You catch
shorter events. For sports measurements the WLAN system offers up to 400Hz the Upat4 system
300Hz.
For a standard insole measurement during walking 60Hz are sufficient. The platform measurements
are stored with a sampling frequency of 20 Hz.

Page 66
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

Option: ‘Unit’
For users in the anglophonic world this option can be set to English in order to display pressure units
and speed in English units.
Option: ‘Use start-stop function’
For gait analytical measurements on a walk way we offer wireless trigger mats to start and stop a re-
cording. Setting this option activates the use of trigger mats to control recording. The function of the
triggers can be tested in the dialogue. The field ‘Test start-stop function’ will light up when a trigger is
activated. A small red dot is added to the recording button in the software. If a trigger signal has been
received it turns green.
Option: ‘Use Pulse Measurement’
Signals from the additionally available heart rate sensors can be saved with a measurement.
Option: ‘Generate Audio Output for Pulse’
When a signal from the pulse measurement has been received an audio signal is generated.
Option: „Capture Zero Values after Recording“
For special applications of the medilogic system like in sports locomotor analysis the values of the
foot in unloaded phases can be subtracted as zero values. The smallest values from the whole measure-
ment are identified for each sensor and subtracted from all the values in the measurement.
Option: „Manual Zeroing“
If this option is set the recording button (red circle) will turn yellow indicating that the zero values are
being captured. A second click on the button will start the actual recording.
Option: „Show most recent Measurement at the Top“
The dialogue for loading current and comparative measurements will sort the measurements according
to their recording date and time, if this option is set.
Option: "Show Scan Window Automatically When loading a Pressure Measurement’
This option is only available in the 5.x version and will open a scan window, if a scan is associated
with the measurement being loaded.
Option: ‘Options for the Menu ‘Data’ /’Save to...’ and ‘Import from...’
Speedy data exchange for mobile storage devices can be preconfigured using these options. Choose a
removable storage device, where You want to save or restore the measurements. Decide whether to
save images and videos to this location as well. Make sure there is enough space on the device, espe-
cially for the last to options.
Option: „Delete successfully imported measurements(s) from the source path“
The measurement is deleted from the storage device after it has successfully been imported.
Option: „Display measurement if it was imported singly“
If only one measurement was in the location specified above, display it immediately after importing.
Option: „DX-Diag“
The graphic module directX supplied by WINDOWS® is used to display the isobaric display and the
3D graphics. This button (only available in the 5.x versions) lets You start the diagnosis tool and con-
figure directX. It can be helpful to deactivate the option directDraw and direct3D in the tab ‘Display’.
Option: „medilogic Database“
This button will call up a dialogue that lets You choose the location of the medilogic database, to
which measurements and customer information are stored. You can point the software to server on
Your network. From now on data will be saved and retrieved from this location. Multiple instances of
the medilogic software on computers in different locations can access the same database and thus
share the information without the need for a backup and restore process for synchronisation. This al-
Page 67
medilogic Pressure Measurement

lows You to work on measurements and customer information simultaneously from different locations.
The information currently changed on one computer is protected from change made at a different loca-
tion, to prevent conflicts.
Changes that do not pertain to customer information or measurements (e.g. Options or printouts) get
stored in a local database.
Option: "Check medilogic Database"
To check the database for inconsistencies concerning measurements and customer information click
this button. This check should be done regularly and always before making a complete backup.
Option: ‘External Databases’
This option lets You set up import of customer data from external databases. This is mainly meant to
speedily enter customer data already existing in other programmes.
You can choose from a number of databases and programmes for which we have programmed an in-
terface. Select a database name from the drop down list and activate the check ‘use’. You can choose
more than one database to import customers from.
The field ‘database path’ lets You set the path to the external database, if the database is installed at the
default location You can leave the entry as it is. If not You can use the button ‘Search for Database’ to
locate it. The same is true for the field ‘Database file’.
Should the database You use not be in the drop down list please contact the manufacturer of the medi-
logic system.
Option: "Change Picture Path"
This option lets You choose a path where the printout scheme ‘Current View (BMP)’ put the image
file. The default directory is the ‘pictures’ - path in the medilogic programme directory.

Page 68
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.8.4 Options ‘Usability’

These options category contain programme settings which can streamline Your everyday work.
Depending on Your work mode and habits You can choose how the programme ‘reacts’.

Option: ’Show Save Dialog after recording’

The save dialogue opens automatically as soon as a recording is stopped, either by clicking the stop
button or when the maximum recording duration is reached. If You choose not to save the measure-
ment just recorded (e.g. You want to do it again) , click on ‘Cancel’ to return to the main window and
the online mode.
Option: ‘make entering address mandatory’
If You want to save an address with every customer set this option to make entering the information
mandatory.
Option: ‘make entering body height and weight mandatory’
For gait analytical evaluations the information about body weight and height is necessary and can be
made mandatory setting this option
Option: ‘make entering size of shoes mandatory’
If You need the information about the shoe size, setting this option will prevent the save dialogue from
being closed without this information. The field is marked red.
Page 69
medilogic Pressure Measurement

Option: ‘Automatically Show Time Graphics’

The evaluation ‘Gait Analysis/Time Graphics’ opens automatically after a recording is finished. The
save dialogue might appear before that if the option (see above) is set.
This might be useful for a dynamic platform measurement so that the time-load graphic is opened for
immediate inspection.
Option: "Ignore unsaved measurement when using start-stop function"
If You use the trigger mats provided additionally by medilogic to start and stop recordings, this option
will overwrite existing unsaved measurements. This prevents the save dialogue from delaying the start
of the recording, If You use this option make sure to save recordings right after stopping them.
Option: „Delete periods without load“
 only available in the platform programme
Periods during the measurement where no load is detected are deleted. This allows You to make sever-
al steps over the platform and save them as consecutive steps. This will save storage space and make
handling the measurement easier.see 7.2.2
Option: „make entering body height and weight mandatory“
 only available in the insole programme
Information necessary for gait analytical evaluations will be checked for completeness. This is to pre-
vent the user accidentally forgetting to enter the information and thus preventing gait analytical evalu-
ation.
If only the basic evaluations are needed (Max, Avg, Gait Line, Cyclogram) information about body
height and weight are not necessary and the option can remain unchecked.
Option: „Pre fill distance or speed for gait analysis“
This allows You to save default values for Your gait analysis measurement. The value will be filled in
when the save dialogue is opened. This is useful if You have a standard walk way or preset speed on
the treadmill.
Option: „Backup Check“
This option ensures that the programme checks regularly whether a backup has been made. If no
backup has been made after 20 measurements or one week the programme will prompt the user to
make a backup. This check is performed when the software starts and finishes. If You answer ‘Yes’ the
backup dialogue will open and You can change the settings. Clicking ‘Start’ will make a backup.
see6.5.6
Option: „Suppress Printer Dialogue before Printing“
If You use the same printer with the same settings for all medilogic printout, this option will skip the
printer setup dialogue for faster printing.
Option: „User defined Menu Items“
To quickly access sub menu items (e.g. like a printing scheme) You can define the menu items needed
most often and put them in the menu bar on the right hand side. This makes Your every day handling
of the medilogic system much faster.

Page 70
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

6.8.5 Options „Video“

If You use the medilogic system with the video (see 6.8.1 Options „Display / General“) option (addi-
tionally available) You can save the current frame and store it in the photo dialogue. By default the im-
ages are saved as bmp the checkbox ’Save images as JPG’ compresses the images according to the
jpeg standard. The quality slider sets the compression rate which is inversely related to storage space
uptake.

Only relevant for the 5.x version:

The videos have to be compressed to conserve storage space on Your hard drive. There are a number
of compressors available. The default is the ‘Indeo’ compressor.
You can set the size of the video window, depending on the video source used. This allows You to ad-
apt the video window to the space available on Your screen.
For webcams we suggest the setting ‘1:1 no conversion’. To access the settings available for Your
video device use the right mouse button to click the video window, showing the live view.

7 Description of Hardware Components

7.1 Pressure Measuring Insoles

7.1.1 Description
The insoles of the medilogic foot pressure measurement system are intended to be used to measure the
pressure distribution inside the shoe under the foot for static and dynamic loads. The loads are recor-
ded for left and right foot in correct temporal relation. Should You need insoles that differ from the
standard outlines (e.g. for comfort shoes), we can manufacture insoles according to Your specifica-
tions.

7.1.2 Intended Use

Choose an insole according to the foot size of the customer and put them inside the shoes. The tongue
of the insoles is on the outside (lateral) of the lower leg and needs to be attached using the velcro
straps provided. The insole marked red is intended for the left foot, the one marked in blue for the right
foot.
Make sure that the medilogic insole is not larger then the insole of the shoe and not much smaller,
since this would lead to unrealistic values. Make sure that there are no sharp objects (e.g. nails,
small stones) inside the shoe that could penetrate the insole and destroy it.
Don’t try to adjust the position of the insole inside the shoe by pulling on the tongue, rather let the cus-
tomer step out of the shoe again and hold the tongue while the customer steps into the shoe again.
Attach the insoles to the lower leg of the customer and connect them to the transmitter (WLAN or Up-
at4 transmitter on the belt).
The transmitter will read when switched on what kind of insoles are connected. The information is
sent to the computer. The information about the outline of the insole is used to display the insole cor-
rectly.
Consequences for You:
 If no insoles are connected to the transmitter no insoles will be displayed.
 With the U2 wireless transmitter the device needs to be restarted if the insoles have been changed,
which usually happens between one customer and the next. Otherwise the wrong information is
used for the recording
see7.6

7.1.3 Sensor Principle

The sensors are surface resistive pressure sensors, that means with rising load the electric resistance of
the sensors goes down. To achieve maximum accuracy each sensor is calibrated individually. The res-
ulting calibration tables are stored in the insole electronics.
The calibration tables have to be checked regularly. We suggest at least once a year or after 5000
loads/steps (what ever comes first) a computer based polybaric calibration is done by the manufac-
turer.

Page 72
 medilogic Pressure Measurement

7.2 Wireless Pressure Measuring Platform

7.2.1 Description
The medilogic wireless pressure measuring platform is used for easy recording of static an dynamic
load distribution under the foot. The measurement is especially useful to document the foot status be-
fore and after care. The option of capturing the outline of the foot makes it the ideal companion to the
medilogic insole foot pressure measuring system.
The wireless pressure measuring platform uses the Upat4 wireless transmitter (Upat4/Fumod4). This
means that it is not a cable system giving You more freedom of placement.

7.2.2 Intended Use

After the programme has finished loading and the transmitter has been switched on the customer needs
to take off the shoes and stand on the platform. During a static recording it might be useful to ask the
customer to shift the weight to load all areas of the foot.
To record a dynamic measurement with the pressure measuring platform make sure that the customer
leg not on the platform swings over the free half of the platform NOT over the case holding the elec-
tronics (wireless and Pro platform). For the Basic version the foot should swing over the floor.
After roll off of one foot the customer turns around to step on the platform with the second foot.
The software will put both feet on screen side by side, toes pointing upwards so that the left foot is on
the left side and the right foot on the right.
see 7.6

7.3 Pressure Measuring Platform Pro

The medilogic pressure measuring platform Pro is available as cable version directly connected to the
USB port of Your computer or with a wireless transmission.
The cable version is supplied with power from the USB port and needs no additional power source.
The size and properties of the sensor field for the medilogic pressure measuring platform Pro are the
same as for the wireless pressure measuring platform.

7.4 Pressure Measuring Platform Basic

The pressure measuring platform Basic is available with a cable connection to the USB port of Your
computer or a wireless transmission.
The cable version is supplied with power from the USB port and needs no additional power supply.
The pressure measuring platform Basic is designed for capturing dynamic load distributions under the
foot that is rolling off on the platform. The sensor resolution is the same as that of the wireless pres-
sure measuring platform.
The following functions are NOT available for the medilogic pressure measuring platform Basic:
● on screen comparison
● capturing the foot outline
● video option
Please heed the advice in sections 7.2.2 Hinweise zum dynamischen Messablauf

7.5 Pressure Measuring Seat Mat

To record load distributions during sitting e.g. on a cushion or in a shell we offer flexible measuring
mats in different sizes. The mats contain depending on size and shape up to 480 sensors. The mats use
the wireless transmission (Upat4/Fumod4). Thus they are not hindered by cable connections and can
be used with the maximum amount of freedom.

7.6 Wireless Transmitter Upat4

The wireless transmitter for the medilogic system in the Upat4 version can be attached to the custom-
ers back using the belt provided or to the platform using the velcro strips an the back of the case.
The insoles or platform are connected to the transmitter using the attached cables. The pressure values
are sent via the cable to the transmitter. This eliminates hindering cable connections between customer
and computer.
Switch on the transmitter by pressing down the black button on the side of the device. Two short beeps
will sound and the power - LED will light up. The transmitter is ready for use.
After the transmitter has been switched on it will immediately start to send data to the wireless trans-
mitter Fumod4 attached to the computer. A orange LED shows the current state (blinking = ready but
not yet in use; continuously on = activated by the medilogic software and ready to transmit). Whenev-
er data is received on the computer the green LED will light up.
To switch the transmitter Upat4 off hold down the black button for approx. three seconds. The device
will emit a long beep and switch off once You release the button, the LED is switched off.
The integrated energy saving mode will switch off the transmitter Upat4 after five minutes. 15 seconds
before that it starts beeping in regular intervals. Pressing once on the black button keeps the transmitter
Upat4 on for five more minutes. During recording You can press the <F2> key to keep it on for anoth-
er five minutes. Starting and stopping a recording will also keep the transmitter Upat4 alive for five
more minutes.
Note: Power supply for the transmitter Upat4 is a 9V standard block battery. When purchasing batter-
ies look for alkaline or lithium batteries, these have a much higher capacity resulting in longer opera-
tion hours.
When the battery reaches a low level, a message will be displayed by the software and the LED on the
transmitter Upat4 starts blinking.
Should the supply voltage drop under a level for correct operation the transmitter Upat4 will switch off
automatically and can only be switched on again when a new battery has been inserted.
To change the battery open the lid on the back side of the transmitter Upat4. Carefully remove the bat-
tery contacts to avoid ripping them off. Connect the new battery observing the correct polarity an put it
in the battery compartment. Please note batteries have to be disposed off according to local regula-
tions.
see 8.1.2 „Battery of the Upat4 is low

7.7 Wireless Transmitter Fumod4

The wireless transmitter Fumod4 for the medilogic foot pressure measuring system in the version Up-
at4 and the for the platform system has to be attached to a USB-port of Your computer using the cable
provided.
Switching it on and off is done by the software/computer. If it is switched on this is indicated by an or-
ange LED (blinking=ready for use, but not yet activated by the software; continuously on = activated
by the software an ready for use). The reception of data is indicated by the green LED on the transmit-
ter Fumod4.
Note: for Windows 8, 8.1 and 10
Should the orange LED not blink while the software is off or not light up continuously when the soft-
ware is running, the USB interface needs to be reconfigured. Start the function „FuMod4USB-Prob-
lembeseitigung für Windows 8.1“ from the medilogic install medium.

7.8 WLAN-Transmitter
For a completely cable free data transmission a WLAN transmitter is connected to the left and right in-
sole respectively. These transmitters transfer the data to a WLAN interface on Your computer and thus
provide online display on the screen.
A built in rechargeable battery is the power supply for the WLAN transmitter. The charging status is
indicated by the upper LED. Green = charge OK, if it turns orange or red first connect the transmitter
to the USB cradle and then connect the cradle to the computer USB port.
The lower LED indicated data transmission: when an insole is connected the initialisation phase is in-
dicated by orange blinking, after that the data transmission starts. Continuous green light indicates that
a recording has not been started by the software. During recording the LED blinks green.
To restart the transmitter disconnect and reconnect the insole.

mitter manufacturer and d as the recom-
mended safety distance in meters (m).
The field strength of stationary radio
transmitters should be lower than the
compliance level at all frequencies ac-
cording to an on-site survey.
In the vicinity of devices bearing the fol-
lowing icon, interference is possible.

Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. The spread of electromagnetic quantities is influ-
enced by absorption and reflection of buildings, objects and people.
a
The field strength of stationary transmitters, e.g. Base stations of radio telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio stations, AM and FM radio and television stations can not be theoretically accurately predicted.
In order to determine the electromagnetic environment with respect to the stationary transmitters, a study of
the electromagnetic phenomena of the location should be considered. If the measured field strength at the loca-
tion where the ME device is used exceeds the above compliance levels, the ME device should be observed to
verify its intended function. If unusual performance is observed, additional measures may be required, such as:
a changed orientation or another location of the ME device.
b
Over the frequency range of 150kHz to 80MHz the field strength should be less than 3V / m.
