Description:
PROVA Innovations’ WithinStride™ Gait Rehabilitation System aims to enhance mobility, independence, and quality of life for older adults by providing a wearable, real-time biofeedback solution for gait retraining. This innovative technology combines sensor integration, personalized feedback, and remote clinician monitoring, addressing mobility challenges related to conditions like Osteoarthritis, Stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and other mobility-limiting conditions. By transitioning from lab-based testing to real-life home environments, the project seeks to validate WithinStride™’s effectiveness in diverse settings, improving patient outcomes while reducing the burden on healthcare systems. The ultimate goal is to empower older adults to age in place, maintaining their independence and physical health.
