|
|
novel participated as one of the main sponsors of the
5th International Symposium on the Diabetic Foot from
May 9 ~ 12, 2007 in Noordweijkerhout, Netherlands. More
than 900 participants took part in this important international
conference on the DF.

Load
relief of the foot was one of the key subject areas
of the meeting. Workshops demonstrated the importance
of load relief in the prevention of ulceration in the
Neuropathic Foot. Recent developments such as the Diapedia
load relief system from the US were displayed.
novel
demonstrated the emed and pedar systems in combination
with their customised software for quick analysis of
dynamic plantar pressure. novel also presented the new
HTML Diabetic Foot Reporting System that can be embedded
into most hospital information systems.
Many
of the participants were already novel users who were
happy to discuss the benefits of the novel systems.
The meeting was superbly organised by Karel Bakker and

(April 26, 2007) |

On
April 2nd and 3rd the Third Australian novel users meeting
was held in Sydney, Australia. The meeting was hosted
by Pat McLaughlin (ezup pty ltd) with support from novel
gmbh provided by Axel Kalpen and Peter Seitz who had traveled
out from Munich.
The first session was held at the Ibis Hotel on Darling
Harbour in downtown Sydney. Both new and experienced users
were invited from around Australia, and ultimately 21
people took part. Axel Kalpen led this 4 hour session
which was a software workshop that focused on data collection
and analysis
The first point of business was to identify key questions
that users wanted answered. These were used as the basis
for the rest of the afternoon. Axel provided an overview
of the novel software, then proceeded to collect multiple
data files from the emed X system which had been kindly
transported to Sydney by Silvia McAra from Charles Sturt
University in Albury, New South Wales.
In combination, the novel database medical, emed recorder
and novel projects software were demonstrated as the most
efficient way of reporting data in a short turnaround
time. Axel used a limit of 8 minutes to collect patient
and visit data, multiple emed data trials from both feet,
and produce a final report. Later this data was also used
to perform a comparative analysis between subjects.
The second day was held at the Podiatry Department of
Westmead Hospital in suburban Sydney. The theme of the
meeting was 'under pressure'. All current and potential
users were invited to attend and ultimately we had 41
people in attendance. The best OZ conference bag ever
was given to each participant.
The aim of this day was to encourage people to talk about
their research, and also to encourage discussion between
the audience and the presenters. We tried not to have
a standard "10 minutes plus questions" day of
presentations. We were not totally successful, but will
keep working at the format! The topics discussed can be
viewed in the attached program outline. Please feel free
to make contact with me for follow up details (noveloz@aol.com).
In conjunction with ezup pty ltd, the meeting was hosted
by Lindy Begg of Westmead Hospital and Josh Burns of The
Childrens Hospital at Westmead. Catering and venue organised
by Georgette Hanna of Westmead Hospital. My thanks to
you all for your support, time and effort in making the
day successful. Many thanks also to our presenters who
were all super prepared and well drilled in making sure
their presentations were on the PC!! Made my job easy.
Of course, thanks to all the attendees - would have been
boring without you.
As everyone knows, Axel is a master of preparation and
presentation, and once again he also demonstrated the
ability to answer questions "on the fly". After
doing an early presentation on the second day, he was
struck down by a back problem. But he toughed it out to
complete a late afternoon session on the new posturography
system. In Australia we would call him a "top bloke".
Axel, my thanks to you for your support and friendship!

The
pedar system can now work as a
high-end posturography system (April 08, 2007) |
|
|
The
pedar
system can now work as a high-end posturography system!
This system can not only discriminate sway between the
left and right feet, but also measure exactly what part
of each foot generates the vertical ground reaction
force during stance. Measurement of the total body centre
of pressure (COP) and associated parameters is possible
with this newly developed system.
The pedar-posturo consists of
a posturography sensor mat that connects to the pedar
system and a customized posturography software package.
The pedar-posturo will prove to
be a valuable tool in sports biomechanics, neurological,
rehabilitation and geriatric research
