01 Clinical Biomechanics Laboratory

The precision of elite sport.
Integrated into healthcare.

Elite athletes aren't evaluated by observation alone. Neither should patients. Moviq Health brings instrument-grade measurement into healthcare, transforming movement and function into objective data clinicians can use.

02 The Measurement Standard

Elite sport measures movement.
Healthcare can too.

PERFORMANCE IS MEASURED AND PRECISE.

When the smallest differences determine win or loss, professional and collegiate sports teams rely on biomechanics to reveal what observation alone cannot quantify.

PATIENTS DESERVE THE SAME PRECISION.

Movement influences diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring. Objective measurement brings the clarity trusted in elite sport into everyday clinical practice.

03 The Evidence

Movement informs medicine.
Measurement makes it visible.

Decades of research have shown that movement contains meaningful clinical information. Objective measurement reveal what clinical exams may miss.

Small changes matter.
0.1 m/s slower gait speed
→ 12% higher mortality risk

A difference too subtle to see can carry meaningful implications for long-term health. Movement often reveals what symptoms have yet to say.

Symmetry isn't enough.
90% LSI
≠ normal loading

Patients can meet traditional return-to-activity thresholds while still demonstrating substantial force asymmetries.

Risk appears before falls.
Quantitative balance measures
→ detect instability earlier

Subtle changes in postural control often emerge before overt events occur. Measurement helps identify risk while there is still time to intervene.

04 What We Measure

Three dimensions of movement.
One clinical picture.

Every patient tells a story through the way they walk, load, and maintain balance. Moviq Health transforms those signals into objective information clinicians can understand, track, and share.

01
Gait reveals adaptation.

People rarely move differently by accident. Changes in speed, timing, and symmetry often reflect how the body adapts to pain, weakness, or dysfunction.

Gait Speed m/s A strong independent predictor of hospitalization, fall risk, and long-term functional decline.
Cadence spm Reduced step rate is associated with pain-avoidance strategies and impaired motor control.
Step Length cm Shortening on one side signals protective offloading and asymmetric limb loading.
Stride Length cm Reflects overall propulsive output; reduced stride length limits community ambulation distance.
Step Width cm Wider base of support indicates balance compensation and increased fall risk.
Ground Contact Time s Prolonged contact on one limb reveals reduced confidence in single-leg loading.
Duty Factor % Higher values reflect guarded, slower gait patterns common in pain and post-surgical recovery.
02
Force reveals compensation.

Patients redistribute load long before abnormalities become obvious. Objective force assessment uncovers protective strategies that observation alone can miss.

Relative Peak Power W/kg Reflects the ability to generate explosive force — critical for stair climbing, rising from a chair, and rapid direction changes.
Relative Peak Force N/kg Quantifies how much load each limb accepts relative to body weight, exposing under-loading on an affected side.
Relative RFD N/s/kg Rate of force development predicts reactive balance capacity and the ability to recover from a trip or slip.
Relative Impulse N·s/kg Captures total mechanical work applied through each limb — a sensitive marker of functional recovery after injury or surgery.
Symmetry Index % Persistent interlimb asymmetry increases cumulative joint stress and predicts reinjury risk on the compensating side.
03
Balance reveals vulnerability.

Small changes in postural control often emerge before overt instability. Quantitative assessment helps identify deterioration while there is still time to intervene.

Postural Sway cm Elevated sway area is one of the strongest independent predictors of future falls in older and post-surgical populations.
Weight Distribution cm Asymmetric loading at rest reveals protective guarding that persists even when patients report feeling recovered.
mCTSIB cm Isolates sensory contributions to balance — identifying whether deficits are visual, vestibular, or somatosensory in origin.
Limits of Stability cm² Defines how far a patient can shift their center of mass without losing control — directly linked to reaching, turning, and negotiating uneven terrain.
05 What Physicians Receive

Not more data.
More clarity.

The report
  • 01
    See what stands out. Highlight meaningful abnormalities and asymmetries that deserve attention.
  • 02
    Understand what changed. Distinguish meaningful progression from normal variation.
  • 03
    Track the trajectory. See whether patients are improving, plateauing, or compensating.
  • 04
    Explain it with confidence. Support conversations with objective findings patients can understand.
  • 05
    Decide what comes next. Spend less time interpreting measurements and more time determining action.

Clinical Summary Fall Risk  ·  Moviq Health

Gait speed and spatiotemporal parameters are within normative limits, supporting safe community ambulation. Force plate assessment reveals bilateral lower extremity weakness relative to population norms, with peak force output of 10.2 N/kg and rate of force development of 26 N/s/kg both falling below reference thresholds. Postural sway of 46 cm exceeds normative limits, consistent with reduced neuromuscular stability. The combined pattern of diminished force production capacity and elevated postural sway warrants clinical review to guide targeted strengthening and fall prevention intervention.
