Gyko, placed in the area beneath the shoulder blade by using a special
bib with a comfortable 3-button fastening, enables naturally integrating
the information measured on the ground with the kinematics of the trunk
in order to provide accurate information on the stability and coordination
of the upper body.

The movement of the trunk is analysed in each phase of the step and,
through advanced algorithms, specific parameters of the analysed test
are estimated such as:

• Antero-posterior and medio-lateral imbalance
• Main directions and breadth of the movement of the trunk
• Upper Phase Coordination Index (UPCI) that describes coordination in
  the rotation of the trunk
• Phase difference between the lower body and the upper body
• RMS, Harmonic Ratio and Harmonicity index describing gait stability

Gyko placed near the centre of mass with a special belt enables enriching
the temporal data with a variety of information regarding the dynamics of
the jump. It is then possible to measure lower limb strength directly and,
using appropriate algorithms, accurately and repeatably provide data relating
both to the eccentric loading phase and to the concentric thrust phase.

The movement of the trunk during the flight and contact phase is analysed
and provides, among other things, the following additional parameters:

• Eccentric and concentric work and duration
• Force, Velocity and Maximum Power
• Rate of Force Development and Landing Rate

Gyko, placed on the trunk or at the level of the centre of mass, provides
important information about the body sway of the subject and through
appropriate protocols it enables evaluating the relative contribution made
by the various components of the postural system (visual, proprioceptive
of different origin, labyrinthine, etc.).

Gyko lets you simply and quickly obtain the best known indexes concerning
the projection of the body’s centre of gravity on the ground.

The GyKo software has a state-of-the-art interface that is fully dedicated to it,
and the constant research and development of the algorithms used to supply
the data make it possible to perform a quick and accurate analysis in situations
such as after an accident, during a recovery phase or if the subject wants to improve
and monitor the progress of his performance during a training phase. In the registry
area, it is possible to enter the fundamental data of the various subjects as well as
add tabs or photos for a faster search. The central part of the software is divided
into two sections, Rehab and Power.

The Rehab section implements protocols for the evaluation and monitoring
of joint functionality and muscle strength when rehabilitating a certain
section of the musculoskeletal system and also makes it possible to perform
a stabilometric analysis of the centre of mass.

A traumatic event involving the musculoskeletal system forces the individual to a period
of immobilisation. During the rehabilitation process, the task of the therapist is to
guarantee a return to levels of muscle strength that are able to guarantee that an athlete
or a senior citizen can return to normal daily activities (running, going up stairs, etc.).
From this point of view, it becomes very important to be able to evaluate, using an objective
and non-subjective method, the muscular abilities of the subject in order to create an
individual training program whose effectiveness can be monitored.

GykoRePower accompanies the subject during the entire rehabilitation process, with a
360 degree analysis of his physical condition: evaluation of the joint function and muscle
strength in the body areas involved with the accident and/or orthopaedic surgery, using the
elastic belts on the limbs; evaluation of the condition of balance in different situations and/or
on different surfaces with the help of the pelvic belt or by positioning Gyko between the two
shoulder blades. GykoRePower is a tool able to evaluate and report each evolutionary phase in
the recovery of joint function and muscle strength.

The Rehab section of GykoRePower makes it possible to:

• quantify the deficit in terms of joint function or muscle strength between a limb and the
  contralateral or between the injured limb and the same limb prior to the accident
• evaluate and measure the subject’s balance in different situations and/or on different surfaces
• monitor the exercise intensity with real-time visual bio-feedback via a work threshold that
  can be selected by the user
• trace and report the subject’s recovery during the entire rehabilitation process by means
  of the report functionality

The Power section is used to evaluate and monitor muscle strength.
When the target of the training is to optimise performance, it becomes very
important for athletes to measure and analyse the improvement of their results
in an objective and accurate manner.

GykoRePower is a product that is specifically designed to evaluate and monitor athletic
performance directly in the field. The performance of the most typical tests adopted by
technicians and widely accepted by the scientific community form the basis of the evaluation
protocols that can be carried out thanks to GykoRePower, protocols designed, developed and
validated by Prof. Carmelo Bosco.

GykoRePower is meant for everyone who wants add a scientific base to athletic preparation
through the quantitative and therefore objective evaluation of the motor task. GykoRePower
combines the requirements of accuracy and reliability with technological innovation.

GykoRePower provides the information essential for evaluating athletic preparation in an accurate,
repeatable and simple manner. With GykoRePower, monitoring improvement and comparing the
performance of athletes is simple and immediate.

From the measurement of the force impressed on the load, the system is able to measure the power
expressed during a specific exercise. With GykoRePower, the trainer can quickly define a training
course, initially identifying the various work areas of the athlete automatically and accurately
(resistance, dynamism, limit…) and monitor the athlete’s progress during the exercise. GykoRePower
provides in fact visual and acoustic bio feedback in order to work towards targeted goals.
