COMPREHENSIVE GAIT AND BALANCE ANALYSIS

MOBILITY LAB

the most trusted sensor-based gait and balance analysis system on the market

Trusted and utilized by researchers and clinicians worldwide, Mobility Lab provides sensitive, reliable, and valid outcome measures for assessing functional mobility.

Mobility Lab makes it easy to collect, analyze, and store data. Attach sensors to your subject, and instruct them to perform a standardized test. A report is then automatically generated to compare against normative values. This process takes less than five minutes.

Portable

Set up in any location with our lightweight, wireless system

Reliable

Numerous clinical studies have proven high test-retest reliability

Sensitive

Accurately measure minimally detectable changes

Valid

Algorithms validated against video motion capture and force plate systems

  • "We are proud to host APDM's Mobility Lab technology and have done so since 2010. This technology reinforces our position as the region's leader in balance, dizziness, vertigo and all things neurologic + geriatric. We re-invest in our program to provide more capacity to individualize treatment to our patients and community."

TESTS

WALK

WALK

The Walk test is the most comprehensive test to measure a subject’s gait.

It measures full body gait (legs, arms, and trunk), asymmetry, variability and turning.

Number of Opals: 3+

TUG

TUG

Timed Up and Go (TUG) is a common test to assess a subject’s mobility.

It measures postural transitions (sit, stand, and turning).

Number of Opals: 3+

POSTURAL SWAY

POSTURAL SWAY

The instrumented Postural Sway (Sway) test is a common test of quiet stance balance.

It measures postural sway.

Number of Opals: 1+

mCTSIB

mCTSIB

The modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance (mCTSIB) is a composite test to assess a subject’s balance under different test conditions.

It measures postural sway, visual dependence, proprioceptive dependence, and vestibular loss.

Number of Opals: 1+

mBESS

mBESS

The modified Balance Error Scoring System (mBESS) test is a shortened version of the BESS test. It is a measure of assessing static postural stability, designed for the mild head injury population, and to assist in return to sports play decisions.

It measures postural stability in varying conditions.

Number of Opals: 1+

360º TURN

360º TURN

The 360 degree Turn Test is a measure of dynamic balance.

It measures turn velocity, time, and number of steps.

Number of Opals: 6+

5x SIT TO STAND

5x SIT TO STAND

The 5 Times Sit to Stand test is a measure of functional lower limb muscle strength. It is useful in quantifying functional change of transitional movements.

It measures trunk excursion, stand time, cadence, and total time.

Number of Opals: 6+

SAW

SAW

The Stand and Walk (SAW) test allows clinicians and nonexperts to quickly obtain objective measures of standing balance, step-initiation, gait, and turning.
