MoveSole StepLab - Objective data for gait and motion analysis
Easy and accessible gait measurement with MoveSole
MoveSole StepLab provides accurate measurements of underfoot forces and pressure distribution during gait and motion.
Whether you're walking through a forest, jogging as part of your training routine, or measuring physical load during a workday, MoveSole StepLab allows you to measure gait and motion whenever and wherever you need.
Designed for repetitive use, MoveSole StepLab is perfect for tracking progress throughout your training or rehabilitation journey.
This mobile, easy-to-use measurement system includes the MoveSole measurement insole and MoveSole application, wirelessly connected for instant underfoot force measurements during movement. It delivers precise results from your entire measurement session.
Visualized data for gait analysis
MoveSole StepLab is ready to use in less than a minute. Simply insert the MoveSole measurement insole into your shoe, and it automatically activates when you start moving - no special setup required.
During the session, the MoveSole application wirelessly receives data from the insole. You can view your results immediately on your smartphone and analyze them in detail on your laptop later if needed.
Visualized data for gait analysis includes
- Motion symmetry
- Step phasing: heel strike -midstance - terminal strike
- Force distribution and timing
- Contact time per step
- Cadence
- Total ground force per step
With visual and precise measurement outcomes, even the smallest changes become clear, helping you stay on track to reach your goals. Accessible, measurable, and visual data keeps you motivated, empowering your journey towards success.
Biofeedback in gait
MoveSole StepLab offers real-time biofeedback during gait.
It enables continuous monitoring and feedback on gait performance, with the flexibility to focus on individual sensors or the overall ground force of one or both feet.
Biofeedback in gait is a powerful tool that enhances rehabilitation, improves performance, and prevents injuries.
By providing real-time, personalized feedback, MoveSole StepLab enables you to adjust your gait patterns, leading to better outcomes in both health and athletic performance.
WHAT IS BIOFEEDBACK IN GAIT?
Biofeedback in gait refers to the use of real-time feedback mechanisms to inform you about specific aspects of your walking pattern or gait. This feedback with MoveSole StepLab can be visual or auditory according to your own choice.
Biofeedback is delivered through sensors in MoveSole insoles and the MoveSole application, which monitors the foot pressure limits you have set on the application during walking.
For example, if you are recovering from a lower limb injury, you might receive real-time feedback from StepLab on how much weight you are putting on your injured leg. This allows you to adjust your gait to promote better healing and avoid further injury.
WHY IS BIOFEEDBACK IMPORTANT IN GAIT?
Performance optimization: Biofeedback can be used to optimize your walking or running mechanics, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of injury. By adjusting your gait based on StepLab’s feedback, you can enhance your performance and avoid common overuse injuries.
Prevention of future injuries: Correcting abnormal gait patterns early through biofeedback can prevent chronic issues, such as problems in joints. Over time chronic pain or malfunction may result from uneven weight distribution or improper foot placement.
Rehabilitation: Biofeedback is crucial in rehabilitation, especially when recovering from injuries, surgeries, or neurological conditions. Real-time feedback provided by MoveSole StepLab allows you to relearn proper gait patterns more effectively. It’s important to correct improper walking techniques, since they could lead to further complications or delayed recovery.
MoveSole StepLab through its biofeedback allows for more personalized rehabilitation programs. Since feedback is based on your specific gait patterns, professionals can tailor the interventions to address your precise needs.
Enhanced Motivation: Seeing or hearing immediate feedback on your performance can be highly motivating. It provides a clear, measurable way to see progress, which can be encouraging and lead to better adherence to rehabilitation or training programs.
Increased Safety: By providing real-time information, StepLab biofeedback helps prevent you from putting too much stress on injured areas. This reduces the risk of re-injury and ensures that rehabilitation progresses safely.
