Our Science

Movement, measured with rigor.

Moviq Health applies clinical biomechanics through standardized protocols that produce reliable, repeatable movement metrics. We translate those metrics into baselines and longitudinal comparisons so clinicians can document change clearly and align conversations about mobility and function visit after visit.

Our Scientific Approach
Moviq Health movement measurement

Understanding movement through biomechanics.

Two people can look the same in the hallway, but move very differently under the surface. Biomechanics makes those differences visible, so clinics can move beyond “looks fine” and toward measurable, repeatable function.

Scientific Foundation

From research to clinical understanding.

Biomechanics research explains how gait, balance, and strength relate to functional capacity and fall risk. Moviq Health translates those findings into structured, repeatable measurements and clear summaries you can discuss in clinic.

Risk Assessment and Prevention of Falls in Older Community Dwelling Adults
Clinical takeaway Gait speed reflects coordination, balance, and force production and it is useful as a functional vital sign.

Gait speed integrates multiple systems at once. Slower speeds are commonly associated with reduced propulsion, longer time in double support, and diminished stability. These signals matter when triaging risk and selecting next steps.

Functional Reach, Single Leg Stance, and Tinetti Systematic Review
Clinical takeaway Subjective screens can miss mechanisms. Objective measurement clarifies timing, control, and strategy.

Many conventional balance screens rely on coarse scoring. Objective biomechanics can better capture the underlying mechanisms of balance control such as timing, reactive responses, and movement strategy, especially when deficits are subtle.

Lower Limb Strength and Prospective Falls
Clinical takeaway Knee and ankle strength supports step length, rhythm, and propulsion and these are key drivers of safe walking.

Weakness in knee extensors and plantarflexors can contribute to shorter steps, reduced power output, and altered walking rhythm. Tracking strength related gait features helps connect impairment to function and supports targeted intervention planning.

CoP Displacement and Balance Control
Clinical takeaway Postural sway patterns can differentiate impaired stability and higher balance demands.

Larger sway area and irregular pressure shifts are often associated with impaired stability and increased balance demands. Quantifying sway supports clearer baseline documentation and more interpretable follow ups.

Gait Biomechanical Parameters Related to Falls
Clinical takeaway Propulsion, forward progression, and step timing variability frequently relate to fall risk.

Reduced ankle push off, diminished forward progression, and higher step timing variability are commonly reported in association with increased fall risk. These features help explain why a person may be unstable, not only if they are.

Wearable Sensor Technology and Fall Risk
Clinical takeaway Wearables can extend measurement to daily life and capture turning, trunk control, and step timing.

Wearable systems that capture step timing, turning mechanics, and trunk motion show promise for evaluating gait and balance outside the clinic. This supports a more complete picture of mobility across environments.

Impact in practice

What it changes in your practice.

A consistent mobility snapshot your team can scan fast, compare over time, and use to guide better patient conversations.

See changes earlier

Repeatable check-ins make subtle shifts in gait, balance, and strength easier to catch, so you can respond sooner and track progress with confidence.

Align the whole team

A shared snapshot keeps every provider referencing the same baseline, improving continuity across handoffs, follow ups, and plan of care decisions.

Make follow-ups effortless

Standardized protocols make comparisons fast and turn findings into clear, patient-friendly next steps, so each visit feels consistent and easy to explain.
