There is a growing need in physical therapy (PT) for reliable, objective assessments. The shift toward value-based care and bundled payments drives PT centers to increase efficiency to remain profitable. Objective measures introduce a reliable way to track, optimize, and implement treatment plans that are evidence-based, allowing physical therapists to provide the most efficient and effective care to each patient using fewer resources. For physical therapists who specialize in orthopedic injuries, accelMOTION is the leading edge in rapid, comprehensive and objective assessment of injury and recovery that optimizes one-on-one time with patients, streamlines clinical decision making, individualizes treatment goals, and accurately assesses recovery. It provides a portable, reproducible assessment system to evaluate patients and quantify treatment progress.
Description
AccelMOTION leverages over 15 years of experience and research on injury prevention in Special Operations Forces operators and in student athletes. A unique and prospective multifactorial approach to study musculoskeletal injury has generated a valuable data set with which injury risk algorithms can be derived, allowing the user to generate reports of the quantitative assessments that are useful to the user. The novel assessments developed to be use with wearable sensors will be validated against the gold standard measurements to ensure that they are reliable, valid measures and are sensitive enough to be discriminatory in our injury risk analysis.
