Currently there is a major problem with mobility worldwide, particularly in the elderly community, and no satisfactory solution. Our aim is to improve the mobility of UK and international citizens by introducing a simple to use sensor based system that quantifies mobility issues to enable health professionals to provide the correct treatment or a targeted rehabilitation programme. Our test will form part of the routine care pathway, providing both the patient and health professional with clear objective data on where the gait kinematics deviate from normal plus a simple animation to help with the understanding. Individuals can track their own progress through the treatment and rehabilitation cycle. The short, 10 minute procedure will be performed in the clinical or home environment, depending upon the type of mobility issue. The groups of people most likely to benefit are the elderly at risk of falling, patients undergoing joint replacements and people suffering from neurological conditions such as stroke or Parkinson’s disease.

目前，全球范围内尤其是老年人社区的流动性存在重大问题，而且还没有令人满意的解决方案。我们的目标是通过引入一种简单易用的基于传感器的系统来改善英国和国际公民的流动性，该系统可以量化流动性问题，使卫生专业人员能够提供正确的治疗或有针对性的康复计划。我们的测试将成为常规护理途径的一部分，为患者和医疗专业人员提供有关步态运动学偏离正常位置的清晰客观数据，并提供简单的动画来帮助理解。个人可以在治疗和康复周期中跟踪自己的进展。简短的 10 分钟程序将在临床或家庭环境中进行，具体取决于行动问题的类型。最有可能受益的人群是有跌倒风险的老年人、接受关节置换术的患者以及患有中风或帕金森病等神经系统疾病的人。
