Moviq Health · What We Measure
Measure what
movement reveals.
Elite athletes are measured with precision because small changes in movement can shape the trajectory of performance and recovery. Moviq Health brings advanced biomechanical measurement into healthcare to quantify how patients move, generate force, and maintain balance, giving physicians objective data to better understand patient function, make more informed, data-driven decisions about care, and improve patient outcomes.
01 · Gait analysis
Measure the pattern
behind every step.
Speed = cadence × stride length
-
Gait speed
m/s
How quickly the patient moves through space.
What it shows
Slower walking can reveal reduced mobility and how easily the patient can move through everyday environments.
-
Cadence
steps/min
How many steps the patient takes each minute.
What it shows
Changes in step rate can reveal how the patient is adapting walking to changes in function, pain, or weakness.
-
Stride length
mm, left and right
How far the patient travels with each complete stride.
What it shows
A shorter or uneven stride can reveal how the patient is limiting movement on one side and changing how efficiently they move through space.
How the feet meet the ground
-
Ground contact time
ms, each foot
How long each foot stays on the ground.
What it shows
Differences between the legs can reveal how the patient is loading or protecting one side as they walk.
-
Double support time
% of gait cycle
How much of walking is spent with both feet on the ground.
What it shows
More time with both feet down can reveal a more cautious walking strategy as the patient seeks stability between steps.
-
Duty factor
% of cycle, each limb
How much of each walking cycle each foot supports the body.
What it shows
Differences between the legs can reveal whether the patient is relying more heavily on one side during walking.
-
Step width
mm
How far apart the feet land from side to side.
What it shows
A wider walking base can reveal a strategy for creating greater stability while the patient moves.
02 · Force analysis
Measure how
force shapes function.
Read from the force
-
Peak force
N/kg
How much force the patient can produce.
What it shows
Lower force can reveal reduced capacity for everyday demands such as rising from a chair, climbing stairs, or lifting the body.
-
Rate of force development
N/s/kg
How quickly the patient can produce force.
What it shows
Slower force production can reveal difficulty generating the rapid response required for demanding movements or sudden changes in balance.
-
Impulse
N·s/kg
How much force the patient can sustain through a movement.
What it shows
Lower impulse can reveal reduced ability to sustain force through a movement, affecting tasks such as rising or climbing.
-
Force symmetry
% difference, left to right
How evenly the two legs share the load.
What it shows
A difference between the legs can reveal how the patient is relying more heavily on one side and changing how force moves through the body.
What that force does to the body
-
Peak velocity
m/s
How quickly the patient can move the body.
What it shows
Lower velocity can reveal that the patient can produce force but cannot move the body through a task as quickly.
-
Displacement depth
mm
How far the patient can lower the body before rising.
What it shows
Limited depth can reveal that the patient is restricting movement and reducing the range available for tasks such as rising from a chair.
-
Peak power
W/kg
How well the patient combines force and speed.
What it shows
Lower power can reveal difficulty producing enough force quickly for demanding movements such as climbing stairs or rising with speed.
03 · Balance analysis
Measure balance
before the deficit becomes obvious.
Stand still. Then test the edge.
-
Illustration: four sway traces seen from above. The trace changes as vision and surface stability are altered across four balance conditions.
mCTSIB
cm
How much the patient sways as visual and surface conditions change.
What it shows
Greater sway when vision or a stable surface is removed can reveal how heavily the patient relies on one source of balance information and how stability changes with demand.
-
Illustration: seen from above, the two feet, a dashed limit, and a shaded shape showing how far the patient leaned in each direction.
Limits of Stability
cm²
How far the patient can lean and reach without stepping.
What it shows
A smaller reach area can reveal less room to move safely without stepping, affecting tasks such as reaching, turning, or recovering from a loss of balance.
04 · Bring the measurements together
Three domains.
One picture of function.
Walking up stairs, turning, rising from a chair, or recovering from a stumble requires the body to move, generate force, and stay in control at the same time. Together, these measurements show how those dimensions interact in real life, giving physicians a clearer picture of what a patient can actually do.

The report
Turn movement
into clinical data.
Every measurement contributes to a larger picture of function. Moviq Health brings gait, force, and balance together with reference values and change over time, creating standardized data physicians can use throughout care.
Clinical summary
01 · Overview of function
The patient walks independently and demonstrates gait measures within reference. Reduced lower limb force production may limit higher demand activities, including stairs, rising from a low chair, and uneven ground.
02 · Key findings
Gait measures are within reference, including walking speed and step timing. Force measures show reduced peak force, slower force development, and asymmetry between limbs. Balance measures indicate increased postural sway and reduced limits of stability.
03 · Comparison to prior tests
Gait speed has improved from 0.96 to 1.10 m/s and is now within reference. Peak force has increased from 8.4 to 10.2 N/kg, while force asymmetry has improved from 23% to 16%. The measurements show how function has changed since the prior study.
