Single Belt Fully Instrumented Treadmill v5 (FIT5 Solo)
The Bertec FIT5 Solo allows biomechanics researchers and sports professionals to reduce laboratory space requirements and remove the limitations inherent in a traditional force plate walkway. The unique design features result in superior dynamic characteristics and a high natural frequency making it the preferred research-grade fully instrumented treadmill. The FIT5 Solo enables walking and running research with speeds up to 11.5 m/s and six-component force data output at 1000 Hz.
Single-belt treadmill design
Industry-leading accuracy in data measurement
Full-featured software powered by Kinamoto™
Integrates with all major motion capture systems
Customizable experimental protocols
Industry-leading accuracy
Bertec treadmills offer high quality data at precision-controlled speeds and accelerations. The system’s high natural frequency, low vibration drive system, and Bertec’s custom electronics enable independent and highly accurate 6-component load measurements output at 1000 Hz.
Single belt design
The FIT5 Solo is a single belt system that can be controlled in both forward and reverse directions. With optional instrumented handrails, you can expand your studies to collect more scenarios including upper and lower body forces.
Complete control in one software
Kinamoto™ is the comprehensive software solution for controlling the Bertec instrumented treadmills. Streamline gait experiments by providing real-time data visualization, simultaneous data capture, and seamless synchronization with all major motion capture systems. Deliver consistent, repeatable results with user-defined protocols through the fully integrated Bertec Protocol Builder.
Precision controls
Full-featured software not only enables precise velocity and acceleration control of the treadmill, but also provides a space for triggered data capture with your lab equipment. The live view of force and center of pressure data, and step counting with customizable force thresholds allows researchers to visualize and verify outputs.
Protocol builder
Create custom treadmill protocols to operate your device with unique playlist-style functionality. Offers repeatability for experiments by saving protocols and highlighting your favorite playlists. Sync your data capture with your custom protocol for one-click operation during experiments.
Easy integration
Works with all major motion capture systems. Hardware sync allows your treadmill to integrate seamlessly into your lab. Triggered data capture enables external sources to start and stop your data collection. Remote control enables advanced programmatic control of your treadmill via a Python API.
