Bhubaneswar, Dec 5: As a major sigh of relief for the people living with hidden injuries and musculoskeletal diseases, the All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Bhubaneswar Bhubaneswar on Wednesday, inaugurated the first 4D spine and gait analysis laboratory here in its Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) department.
The ultra modern facility which is said to be a panacea to detect internal injuries and defects without the interventions of radio waves was inaugurated by AIIM’s Executive Director Dr. Ashutosh Biswas on the occasion of the International Day of People with Disabilities.
The 4D spine and gait analysis Lab, equipped with advanced technologies, including prosthetic and orthotic services, occupational therapy, physiotherapy units, and other allied services, will help diagnose the ailments with utmost accuracy.
It is also expected to provide rehabilitation services to patients with locomotor disabilities, musculoskeletal conditions, and sports injuries.
The 4D spine and gait analysis lab helps to check and measure spine problems and provides real-time data on joint movements. It is useful for treating conditions like stroke, scoliosis (curved spine), neck and back pain, polio-related paralysis, muscle diseases, and nerve issues.
