Built for neurorehab clinicians treating MS, Parkinson’s, stroke, and TBI — focused on detecting subtle gait changes and tracking longitudinal recovery.
The Challenge
Neurorehabilitation specialists face a unique clinical problem: neurological conditions produce slow, gradual changes in gait and mobility that are nearly impossible to detect during periodic in-clinic assessments. A patient with multiple sclerosis may experience subtle increases in gait variability weeks before a noticeable relapse. A stroke patient’s compensatory movement patterns may be masked during a supervised clinic walk but revealed during unsupervised daily ambulation. Without continuous, objective measurement, clinicians are making critical treatment decisions based on incomplete data.
Who This Is For
- Neurorehabilitation physiotherapists treating MS, Parkinson’s, stroke, and TBI
- Academic medical center clinicians seeking objective outcomes for research
- Rehabilitation directors managing neurological patient populations
How eSteps Health Solves This
1. Continuous Gait Monitoring Beyond the Clinic
eSteps Health smart insoles capture gait data at 100 Hz during the patient’s everyday activities — not just during a supervised 10-meter walk test. This means clinicians see the patient’s real-world movement patterns, including variability that only appears during unsupervised ambulation.
2. Early Detection of Neurological Change
Stride length variability, gait asymmetry, and cadence changes are among the earliest measurable indicators of neurological progression or relapse. eSteps Health tracks these digital biomarkers longitudinally, enabling clinicians to identify subtle functional decline weeks before it becomes clinically apparent.
3. Objective Outcome Measurement for Research
For clinicians involved in clinical trials or outcomes research, eSteps Health provides continuous, quantitative gait data that can serve as a validated digital biomarker. This eliminates the subjectivity and inter-rater variability inherent in traditional clinical gait assessment scales.
4. Patient-Centered Recovery Tracking
Neurological patients often struggle with motivation during long rehabilitation timelines. eSteps Health provides patient-facing visualizations showing incremental improvement in gait symmetry and walking endurance — evidence of recovery that periodic clinical assessments may not capture.
The Result
A neurorehabilitation specialist using eSteps Health can expect to:
- Detect early signs of MS relapse or Parkinson’s progression through continuous gait biomarkers
- Replace subjective clinical scales with objective, continuous movement data
- Improve patient engagement by visualizing incremental recovery progress
- Generate research-grade gait data from real-world patient activity
