Silokom portable system for measuring force and moments has been designed by the order of the Ministry of Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy of the Russian Federation in 2010. The system is intended to provide immediate control and improvement of speed-and-force and force condition of top-level sportsmen based on measuring isometric force moments in ankle, knee and elbow joints. The system also enables evaluating the electric activity of muscles using active electrodes.
Specific features and benefits of the complex:
The mobile system may be moved by one person to any place of destination including field conditions, and be prepared to perform personal measurements within 5-8 minutes. This system is electrically independent i.e. a charged notebook battery is sufficient to provide its operation. The hardware-software provides methods of speed-force and force readiness of a sportsman, and also the methods of muscular force development by a sportsman and rehabilitation methods applied after overtraining and traumas due to the visual feedback features commonly used. The Russian-language user-friendly interface of the software (the software) of Silokom allows to use it easily by any Russian coaches and sportsmen, and the software structure allows to easily increase functional options taking into account specific sport features.
The price of Silokom mobile system is by 10-15 times less than this one of the foreign devices of the stationary type with the similar purpose and functionality.
Silokom system may be produced in three versions:
-
Silokom-01- stationary, “light” system version intended to evaluate force moments in the knee, ankle and elbow joints;
-
Silokom-02 intended to evaluate force moments in the knee and ankle joints;
-
Silokom-03 intended to evaluate force moments in the elbow joint.
Silokom – 01 stationary system for measuring force and moments
to evaluate force moments in the knee, ankle and elbow joints
Silokom-Version 01 allows to evaluate force moments and activity of muscles while bending and extending the ankle, knee and elbow joints.

- Range to record force and moments in joints +/–500 N·m;
- Quantity of force moment recording channels – 2;
- Quantity of electromyogram recording channels – 2;
- Range to record electromyogram envelopes 0 – 2 mV;
- Power consumption – not more than 2,5 W.
The system includes:
- the biomechanical part including force-moment sensors, systems of their fixation on a human body;
- a special folding seat (the total weight of the biomechanical system part is 35 kg);
- an electronic unit (weight - 200 gr);

This system structure allows operating it not only in the stationary mode but also moving this mobile system. Silokom -Version 01 is electrically independent to the extent the notebook charge is provided.
Silokom – 02 mobile system for measuring force and moments
to evaluate force-moments in the knee and ankle joints
The system is intended to record and evaluate force moments in joints and the electrical activity of muscles participating in bending and extending a knee joint, and also bending an ankle joint as basic speed-force indices of sportsmen when performing interim and current complex investigations, and also for training and rehabilitation in sport medicine. All the parameters measured shall be recorded in PC on a real time basis. The system provides successful restoration of locomotor dysfunctions in the biofeedback mode. The system may be applied to train and evaluate the training effectiveness of long and high jumpers, gymnasts, skiers and also representatives of any other sports.
Specifications of the system for measuring force and moments:
- Range to record force and moments in joints +/–500 N·m;
- Quantity of force moment recording channels – 2;
- Quantity of electromyogram recording channels – 2;
- Range to record electromyogram envelopes 0 – 2 mV;
- Power consumption – not more than 2,5 W.
The software provides the following options:
- to maintain the database of testees and examinations performed with an option to export and import data;
- to perform tests under the existing methods;
- to process examination results using various methods of signal analysis;
- to print examination results;
- to export signals in files of various format;
- to make some proper examination methods based on the standard samples;
- to make indices dynamics.
Overall dimensions of equipment and its weight:
- Weight of the system for measuring force and moment – not more than 12 kg;
- Overall dimensions of an electronic unit– 200x100x40 mm;
- Weight of an electronic unit – 310 gr.
Silokom – 03 mobile system for measuring force and moment
to evaluate force moments in the elbow joint
The system is intended to record and evaluate force moments in joints and electrical activity of muscles participating in bending and extending of the elbow joint as basic speed-force indices of sportsmen when performing interim and current complex investigations, and also for training and rehabilitation in sport medicine. All the parameters measured shall be recorded in PC on a real time basis. The complex provides successful restoration of locomotor dysfunctions in the biofeedback mode. The system may be used to train and evaluate the effectiveness while training swimmers, gymnasts, skiers, weightlifters, and also representatives of any other sports.
Specifications:
