About Motion Therapeutics
Motion Therapeutics Inc (MTI) is the leading provider of innovative balance assessment and balance-enhancing “Wearable” Technology. MTI has a proven solution for fall risk reduction in older adults and those with neurological disorders.
Our innovative BalanceWear® technology is indicated for patients with mobility difficulties associated with loss of balance and postural control. The solution focuses on the intrinsic factors of balance loss such as delayed reaction times, increased body sway and instability.
After years of research, this non-invasive, torso-stabilizing BalanceWear vest/garment is available. We developed BalanceWear® to help patients suffering losses of three-dimensional balance, postural control and, alignment, which may be a side effect of a wide variety of neurologic and orthopedic disorders.
The BalanceWear Assessment: Balanced-Based Torso-Weighting (BBTW)
BBTW determines three-dimensional balance loss in sitting or standing and while moving to determine the direction, magnitude and velocity of loss balance. In addition, loss of the ability to maintain upright are identified through a series of nudges to your trunk.
