Especially useful for clients whose cognitive status prevents self-monitoring. Monitors the force placed on the entire foot.
PedAlert Monitor:
1. Sensor constantly monitors weight
2. Warning tone sounds when weight threshold is met or exceeded
The PedAlert weight-bearing monitor is ideal for clients with hip fractures, hip replacements, foot ulcers and other conditions that require weight-bearing limitation or weight transfer training. Especially useful for clients whose cognitive status prevents self-monitoring. Simply set the prescribed weight-bearing threshold (toe touch to 100+ lbs.). The advanced membrane sensor in the cast shoe constantly monitors the weight placed on the lower limb. Adjustable warning tone signals when the threshold is met or exceeded. Latex free.
Lightweight and easy to use. Complete with cast shoe sensor system, electronics module, connection cable, 9V battery, instruction manual and warranty.
How PedAlert Works:
PedAlert is easy to use and can be fully operational in minutes:
Place the cast shoe over the patient's foot, shoe or cast
Use a floor scale to set the prescribed weight-bearing threshold
As the patient walks, PedAlert monitors the weight placed on the foot
A warning tone indicates that the prescribed weight threshold is exceeded
Two models available:
- Model 100 monitors the force placed on the entire foot
- Model 120 adds independent monitoring of the forefoot and heal in addition to the entire foot monitoring
