A breakthrough in the international medical market through an Israeli Developer
Professor Reuven Cohen Raz, an Israeli inventor has a static equilibrium test (Posturography) that can contribute to the diagnosis of orthopedic disorders, Vertigo and balance disturbances.
Professor Cohen Raz, what Posturography?
When a person on the floor, the person changes the pressure of his / her weight from one leg to the other and from one area of the same leg other.
During the test, the tested individual is on special plates, which contain pressure sensors. The information is collected and transmitted to a computer where the processing data is made.
Analysis of the output of the researcher allows conclusions about the medical condition of that person to withdraw.
His there are similar tools around the world?
Yes. There is a tool that a plate. The person examined is on the plate and the plate itself changes its situation due to the activity of an electric motor. This test is called Dynamic Posturography. My instrument is called Static Posturography, the advantages are that it is cheaper, and mobile simpler.
What are your relations with the Israeli Air Force?
In the past, the Israeli Air Force used my invention for the examination of the pilots during their training. Analysis of data showed that there is association between the number of hours sleep and Posturographic testing.
Pilots who slept more hours had better performance in the bombardments and landings achieved compared with those who were tired.
Do you believe that such a test would have prevent the tragedy of the Israeli pilot Captain Asaf Ramon, rest in peace?
The circumstances of this tragic accident are not known to the public, and I do not know. I think even within the Israeli Air Force, many important details missing. In general Posturography help in the diagnosis of sleep deprivation, but this alone is not enough in preventing accidents.
What kind of medical conditions can be diagnosed by a Posturographic Test?
When the computer output is abnormal, it is possible to distinguish between
"Central" and "peripheral" origin of Vertigo. The terms "central" and "peripheral" refers to the brains and inner ear. When confronted with a person with Vertigo attacks, an important question is where the problem arise? either the brains or the internal ear. Orthopedic causes, dugs, alcohol, abnormal metabolism, medications, neurological disorders (such as a muscular disease) can also be detected by a Posturographic Test.
Can you inform doctors who use your invention?
Yes., Dr. Shemesh Zecharya (known Tinnitus researcher and therapist), for example. Dr. Shemesh to me referred patients suffering Vertigo and Meniere's disease. I have some follow-up of these patients was striking and impressive therapeutic results.
Dr. Victor Roth, an orthopedic surgeon, Posturographic has its own machine and is testing his own patients. Based on the clinical diagnosis and results of the test he writes that it is willing insoles for each patient. Today, Dr. Roth has a very good reputation in orthopedic ailments that link to posture.
What future uses do you see for your invention?
There are many possible uses. Everything depends on the budget is devoted to the subject by policymakers. For example: the USA, when a driver is asked to exhale into an alcohol detector is allowed to refuse. For the police to enable making the diagnosis of a drunk driver, a new law was introduced - it is now legal, a policeman, to blood samples.
The new law was not tested in court, it is possible that one of the drivers will refuse to do the blood test, hire a good lawyer and start a legal scandal.
Instead of an invasive blood test, a static instrument Posturographic can be used to distinguish between a driver and a driver who fit a high risk to the community. The test will not diagnose the exact cause of the disability the driver. But then, the public, it is irrelevant whether the police immediately diagnoses the underlying factor or not.
Alcohol, drugs, Sever sleep deprivation or uncontrolled diabetes are all examples of possible causes for the failure to follow traffic rules and a high risk of car crash.
Posturographic the test is not invasive. It is not to raise any issue relating to human rights. And therefore there is no justification for the drivers to the test on that object on the ground.
