When we think about vital signs, we often focus on heart rate, blood pressure, or oxygen levels. However, gait health—the way we move—is just as critical, particularly when it comes to healthy aging. Our ability to walk with stability affects our independence, mobility, and overall well-being, making it essential to assess and address changes in gait and balance early on.
At CareTech Solutions, we utilize our #OneStep technology to go beyond basic mobility assessments. By analyzing more than 20 gait parameters and integrating them with a neurological screening test, we provide care professionals with real-time insights into an individual’s movement health. These insights help identify risks, personalize care plans, and implement timely interventions—ultimately promoting safer mobility and reducing fall-related risks.
By recognizing gait health as a key indicator of overall wellness, we can shift towards a more preventative approach in aging care. Understanding how someone moves today allows us to take proactive steps in ensuring their long-term health and independence.
Let’s step forward together towards a future of healthier aging.
