Case study highlighting the pivotal role Aspire Motion played in the rehabilitation process of an elderly patient recovering from a severe ankle injury through objective and real-time feedback of functional movements.

Case study on the positive impact of leveraging objective measurements to provide concrete evidence of progress as a motivational resource for better adherence to balance and strength training.

A retrospective analysis of twelve older adult participants utilized Aspire Motion Connect in a four-week balance training program. Assessment after the training program showed significant improvements in gait, reduction in 5X sit-to-stands completion time, and modest enhancements to postural sway. These findings suggest that incorporating Aspire Motion Connect into balance training can effectively enhance functional abilities and reduce fall risk among older adults.

Aspire Motion® utilizes a single Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) worn near the body’s center of mass (CoM) and measures body movement. This study evaluates the Aspire sensor’s accuracy in assessing postural stability compared to measurements obtained from a Bertec® force plate. Specifically, it examines the correlation between sway length recorded by the Aspire sensor and postural length derived from Center of Pressure (CoP) data.
