Observation Paper

The stabilometric platform is a piece of gym equipment that consistently astounds me. After every training session, I feel comfortable standing to evaluate my biometric status. When instructed to stand on it, the aesthetics and design are pleasing to the sight and give off a professional air of well-being. The stabilometric platform makes use of cutting-edge hardware and software. Since accuracy is their top priority, 6 pressure plates have been strategically placed on the platform to maximize precision and accuracy. The foot platform's construction material is soft to ensure that your feet are at ease throughout the measurement process. The software installed has a great navigation system so that the technician would easily read the readings from the data collected and make appropriate readings. With the auto-recognition system the stabilometric platform would gear up as you stand on the platform to have your readings taken. This shows the preparedness and the level of censure geared towards the diagnosis. The stabilometric platforms are manufactured by AM Cube and take a range of different measures. The platforms can evaluate various postures, sway and body balance at any given instant and record this data. The technician can then infer from these readings and analysis before making any conclusions about your health.
The stabilometric platforms have seamless exotic design with the interface placed at waistline and a perfect-sized platform where the patient stands. The calibration of the instrument and its functionality have been optimized to increase its overall performance and data analysis. The platform takes the reading immediately and displays it on the interface once the patient stands on the platform. This shows the high responsiveness and the sensibility of the platform. The high sensitivity measures depict how the platform can identify even the smallest gram placed on the platform. It has the ability to visualize the pressure intensity and records the instantaneous data from which the overall the analysis is done. This would enhance the diagnosis and help the specialist provide accurate report and decisions. The behavior, pressure, asymmetry and timing enhance the general functionality of the platform.
The design pf the stabilometric platform entails different aspects of art, for example, shape and mass, proportion and scale, texture and even space. The stabilometric platform assumes regular shapes with a smooth curvy profile. The rails (handles) have curvy edges to unearth the element of smoothness and also continuity. One would feel nice and comfortable handling the different sections of the rails when standing, entering or exiting the platform after a tough afternoon workout. Furthermore, cool colours are used for the finish of the product. The dominant colour is grey contrasted by a creamy colour. The colours have an effect on the persona and/or perception of the user. People like to feel comfortable and secure around objects or in a place. The dominating grey and contrasting white colour make it possible to simulate that feeling on human beings.
Another element, space, is enhanced by basic open form of the product. There are only guiding rails which highlight the area for the person to stand on the platform. Also, lack of constricting walls or overdesign features makes a person feel free and open when they stand on the platform to assess the benefits of their workout session that afternoon, morning or evening. Most parts of the stabilometric platform have a smooth texture, especially the guiding rails, the base of the platform has a rubber treaded mat which ensures high traction and improves the ability of the person to stand still without slipping while on the platform. Also, the rough texture of the base enhances the functionality aspects as one tries different postures to assess the health gains after the training session.
The stabilometric platform is a great design, one that integrates the aesthetics, art and ergonomics in one piece amid other products like the treadmill. One feels relaxed and proud to be associated to gym offering such equipment. The general form of the product, texture, colour and material used all make it a great addition and a desire for most gym enthusiasts, and any occasional user. Current society all stress on the need of healthy lifestyles in the wake of lifestyle diseases and conditions. The gym equipment and exercises are the most perceived forms of exercises to burn that extra fat or maintain a healthy body physique. Progress or how healthy one is can be monitored by the stabilometric platform. With such products, one examines his/her health status daily, weekly or even monthly to stay in shape. Everyone wants to acquire that healthy physique, grow muscles or even maintain their current health status thereby necessitating the use of the stabilometric platform. The design of the platform integrates the principles of art learnt in the class. It applies elements of shape, colour, texture and even the focal point to enhance its usage and desirability. Though the functionality may be based on purely scientific principles, the aesthetics and usage are based on art principles to make more appealing to the masses.
