The research question

Which gait, balance and mobility parameters are impaired, and how are they changing with rehabilitation?

A general functional pathway for gait instability, balance impairment and reduced mobility when a more specific disease or post-surgical service is not the best fit.

ParticipantsAdults or older adults with gait, balance or mobility impairment.
Minimum sampleIndividual clinical assessment: N = 1. Research cohorts: sample size defined by the study design.
DurationAssessment plus repeated rehabilitation monitoring.

Technology configuration

Measurement follows the task

The technology path shown here is the approved structure for this service. The exact protocol is configured around the research question, environment and participant flow.

01 · CoreIMU

Gait, turning, postural control and functional transitions.

02 · OptionalEMG

Muscle activation when relevant.

03 · OptionalVR

Balance and gait rehabilitation support.

Typical protocol · Health

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Establish safe standing and gait baseline.

02

Measure comfortable gait, turning, sit-to-stand and Timed Up and Go.

03

Add dual-task or balance challenges when appropriate.

04

Configure rehabilitation.

05

Repeat objective mobility measures.
