HTS Therapy News
At first, no one noticed the change. John, an active 78-year-old, was still walking independently. He still did his daily laps around the community. But over a few months, something shifted. His stride shortened, just slightly. His walking speed slowed, barely noticeable. His balance wavered, nothing alarming.
No one thought much of it, until the fall happened.
The reality? A 0.1 m/s decrease in gait speed increases fall risk by 7% and even predicts early mortality. Subtle mobility changes are often the first red flags for serious decline, but they go undetected until it’s too late.
With today’s technology, this doesn’t have to happen.
OneStep: A New Era in Fall Prevention
HTS Therapy is proud to offer OneStep, an innovative technology designed to proactively prevent falls and elevate care outcomes for rehabilitation patients and campus residents. OneStep provides real-time gait analysis, allowing therapists to track even the smallest changes in walking patterns… before they lead to a fall.
How It Works:
- Patients walk naturally while a smartphone app captures and analyzes their movement.
- Therapists receive precise data on stride length, gait speed, balance, and symmetry.
- Personalized therapy plans are created based on objective insights.
Early detection of mobility changes means early intervention. By integrating OneStep’s AI-powered insights into therapy programs, we can proactively reduce fall risk, improve confidence, and support independence in your community.
HTS Therapy is committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions to keep your community active and thriving!
