User manual for the SpineWise Pro Kit

On the home screen, you can see each connected wearable, the position where the wearable should be attached, the set number, the corresponding battery percentage, and to whom each wearable belongs. Each set can be identified by replacing 'Person 1' with another name. Furthermore, you can indicate who each wearable belongs to. If the position shown on the app for the wearable does not match the position for which it is being used, you can also adjust it.

No wearable visible after connection

This issue may be due to the driver, install it and reopen the app.

Not able to upload file

An error can occur when trying to upload a file that has less than 5 seconds of active usage. These files cannot be used for further analysis. Small file error

It is important to regularly connect the wearables to the Pro Kit App, as this is also the moment when the time is synchronized for the wearable. Once the battery is depleted, the wearable "forgets" the time and the date resets to 01/01/2001.

Downloading files from the wearables & uploading to SpineWise for analysis

The wearables store the calibrated measurements locally and can only be analyzed once they are downloaded from the wearable. This normally happens automatically, but it can be disabled through a setting in the "Settings" menu. It is also possible to pause the download, delete files from the wearable, and select specific files for download.

Download config

Please do not remove the wearables while downloading.

After downloading the measurements from the wearable, they are automatically uploaded to the SpineWise cloud platform, and the measurement will be available for analysis after a few minutes.

Configuring the belt wearable

If you want to adjust the settings of the wearable, you can do so via 'Config'. Here, you can select which data you want to measure and which angles should be used for this. We recommend always enabling the beta parameter, as it ensures that the curvature of the back is taken into account. To save the configuration, press the 'Apply changes' button. It is also possible to use a standard configuration. Select one to get more information.

Configuration

Motion detection parameters

Remember, we are using 4 zones in the sagittal plane:

Zones

Red Zone

  • Activate Red Zone: This button ensures that the red zone is included in the measurements.
  • Activate Alpha Angle: This button activates the measurement of alpha.
  • Alpha Angle Entry-Threshold: This determines at which angle of alpha a movement is registered, which is set to 60° by default for the red zone.
  • Alpha Angle Exit-Threshold: This determines under which angle of alpha the movement is exited, which is set to 50° by default for the red zone.
  • Activate Beta Angle: This button activates the measurement of beta.
  • Beta Angle Entry-Threshold: This determines at which angle of beta a movement is registered, which is set to 45° by default for the red zone.
  • Beta Angle Exit-Threshold: This determines under which angle of beta the movement is exited, which is set to 35° by default for the red zone.

Orange Zone

  • Activate Orange Zone: This button ensures that the orange zone is included in the measurements.
  • Activate Alpha Angle: This button activates the measurement of alpha.
  • Alpha Angle Entry-Threshold: This determines at which angle of alpha a movement is registered, which is set to 20° by default for the orange zone.
  • Alpha Angle Exit-Threshold: This determines under which angle of alpha the movement is exited, which is set to 10° by default for the orange zone.
  • Activate Beta Angle: This button activates the measurement of beta.
  • Beta Angle Entry-Threshold: This determines at which angle of beta a movement is registered, which is set to 30° by default for the orange zone.
  • Beta Angle Exit-Threshold: This determines under which angle of beta the movement is exited, which is set to 20° by default for the orange zone.

Overextension Zone

  • Activate Overextension Zone: This button ensures that the overextension zone is included in the measurements.
  • Activate Alpha Angle: This button activates the measurement of alpha.
  • Alpha Angle Entry-Threshold: This determines at which angle of alpha a movement is registered, which is set to -20° by default for the overextension zone.
  • Alpha Angle Exit-Threshold: This determines under which angle of alpha the movement is exited, which is set to -10° by default for the overextension zone.
  • Activate Beta Angle: This button activates the measurement of beta.
  • Beta Angle Entry-Threshold: This determines at which angle of beta a movement is registered, which is set to -20° by default for the overextension zone.
  • Beta Angle Exit-Threshold: This determines under which angle of beta the movement is exited, which is set to -10° by default for the overextension zone.
