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. When the wearables contain measurements, they are immediately downloaded by the platform. It may take some time to upload the file to the cloud after which it can take another minute before the measurement becomes visible in the application. Please do not remove the wearables during downloading.

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.

Configuring the belt wearable

If you want to adjust any settings of the wearable, you can do so via 'Config'. Here, you can indicate which data you want to record and which angles should be taken for these parameters. To save these changes, press the 'Apply changes' button at the end.

Motion detection parameters

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

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.

Measurements

In measurements, you can view the measurements of each wearable. The name of the set is mentioned, and below, a description can be added. Both of these can be customized according to your preferences. Furthermore, you can see the time when the measurement was uploaded to the platform.

You can choose for each file separately if you want to process it by clicking the button 'Start analyze'. The analysis can take 30° to 60° seconds and occasionally 5 extra minutes when starting the application.

If the wearable is in an unnatural position (e.g. lying flat), the data will be marked as inactive. There are no data charges for inactive data. (Beware: this model is not perfect!). These zones are indicated in gray on the timeline.

To find out what exactly the different parameters measure, you can check Measured parameters. When you press 'Details' for a measurement, you can see all parameters with the recorded values.

Export as PDF File

It is possible to create a PDF export of an analysis. Ensure that the analysis is open and press the "save" button.

Provide Feedback

You can easily provide feedback directly through the app, whether it concerns an issue you've encountered or a feature you would like to see implemented. You can also still reach us via itsupport@spinewise.be for any additional support.
