During the eleven weeks of testing, on a weekly basis, the StrideTech team would meet with Barbara to download the previous week’s data from the StrideTech Go, replace the device’s SD card, display walker use data, and get feedback on how well the device was functioning. In this white paper, we share how we were able to collect data to support both daily and weekly patterns of activity.

After using StrideTech GO for eleven weeks, Barbara saw a 30% decrease in misuse rate can be seen for both hip distance and weight-bearing from week one. When asked about her experience using the Stride Tech Go, Barbara explained that using StrideTech Go made her feel more confident in walking knowing that 1. She was improving and 2. She would get immediate feedback if started slipping back into unsafe walker behaviors.

The FSRs correlate a change in force to a change in electrical resistance, which can be read as a change in voltage. The change in voltage is then calibrated against known forces or loads. Our partnership with the Denver University’s Human Dynamics Laboratory has allowed us to test our FSRs and conclude that they successfully are able to detect and measure walker misuse.

The Human Dynamics Laboratory at Colorado University and StrideTech have formed a partnership that has allowed our team to test our StrideTech Go product’s motion capture ability using the laboratory’s motion capture system. A Stride Tech team member and walker were outfitted with motion capture markers to test different walking tasks. In this white paper, we show results of our testing at the Human Dynamics Laboratory on four different walking tasks.

Through our partnerships with Springwood and Sunrise Senior Living, we hosted free walker repair events that allowed us to collect, analyize, and get feedback on our StrideTech GO smart walker attachment from single product testing sessions. In this white paper, we show results that support our StrideTech GO smart walker attachment can identify the two habits of walker misuse (excessive weight and/or hip distance). We also explore how we are able to collect data on how users response when vibrational feedback is triggered due to walker misuse.

StrideTech defines short term efficacy as the ability to see changes in StrideTech Go measures of walker use in a single product testing session. In this white paper we present data that was collected from a walker repair event held at a Modena Cherry Creek Senior Living.

Transitional movements such as turning can be a vital indicator of mobility quality, with longer turning durations being an indicator of higher fall risk. With StrideTech Go, we can use our hip-distance measurements to determine 1. If someone is turning, 2. The duration of their turn and, 3. How much their hip-distance deviates from their baseline during a turn, 4. use our left- and right-hand force measurements to determine asymmetrical gait.
