VectorizeMove - The future of rehabilitation
38
A common way to evaluate leg injuries, or even prevent it, is to find and measure deviations from normal walking behaviour. The rehabilitation process as of today is long and complex for both humans and animals. There are no systems or good solutions available to measure gait deviations continuously in everyday life or real-world settings and existing systems work only inside clinics and gait laboratories. Moreover, their low usability makes it very difficult for users to adopt them.
VectorizeMove offers a simple yet advanced easy-to-use service that provides continuous and objective analysis of quality of walking in everyday life settings. The service is a combination of hardware device in the form of wearable sensors with high usability, algorithms and software (developed with 5+ years of R&D) in form of mobile app and a world-class database. The company aims to provide this service for both:
Animals, specifically race horses: The service helps in evaluating the gait of horses to provide early detection of lameness; and in case of lameness help in supporting correct diagnosis and monitor the recovery to decide when the horse if fully recovered and ready for training in order to prevent possibilities of relapse in lameness.
Mobility-disorder patients: The service helps to continuously monitor the rehabilitation process helping both patients and care-givers with objective information about their recovery status and efficacy of interventions.
