Problem
Current mobility assessments rely on costly equipment, wearables, or subjective visual observation, making it difficult for clinicians and trainers to obtain reliable, actionable data on gait and functional decline. This limits early detection of mobility loss, hampers personalized treatment, and restricts access to advanced gait analytics in typical rehabilitation or fitness settings.
Solution
Impower Health offers a patented mobility intelligence platform that converts standard treadmills into real-time gait labs using its Gait Index™ software and Gait Tracker™ hardware module. The system captures high‑frequency biomechanical variables—such as stride length, cadence, stance and swing times—without the need for wearables, cameras, or specialized motion‑capture labs. Data are automatically organized into clinically meaningful metrics and visualized through clinician and trainer dashboards, enabling objective monitoring of mobility trajectories. Integrated self‑pacing control ensures natural walking patterns while providing safer, more effective rehabilitation sessions. By delivering objective gait intelligence on existing treadmill infrastructure, the platform supports early detection of functional decline, personalized feedback, and performance optimization.
Target Audience
Primary customers are rehabilitation clinicians, physical therapists, and fitness trainers who need objective gait assessments, as well as healthcare facilities and performance centers seeking to upgrade existing treadmills with data‑driven mobility analytics.
