Measuring progress in rehabilitation

MOTI is a measuring device for physiotherapists to measure the joint mobility (ROM) and movement quality (QOM) of their patients. This helps the physiotherapists to assess their patients’ physical stage in each of the patients’ frequent consultations, making it possible to optimize the treatment based on objective results and motivate the patient by showing actual progress.

Today, physiotherapists determine the patient’s physical stage by looking at ROM - assessed with either a manual goniometer or eyesight and QOM - which is only determined by eye and described with words in the patient record as there does not exist any products for measuring this in physiotherapy. The two assessed parameters are impossible to quantify, compare, and visualize, and it can, therefore, fail to motivate the patient, if they can not see or feel any progress. Without motivation, patients skip treatment and miss out on getting better.

MOTI has five co-founders; two Industrial Design Engineers (Halldóra and Marie), and three scientists (Thorvaldur; Ph.D. Clinical Science and Biomedicine, Steffan; Ph.D. Clinical Science and Biomedicine, and Rogerio; Ph.D. in Clinical Science) - two of them are also physiothera

MOTI is mounted according to the respective joint with either using the strap or a disposable sticker making MOTI hands free. This gives the physiotherapist the opportunity to have full focus on the patient’s movement and assist if necessary. MOTI can be applied to measure all relevant joints in one single device. MOTI compares the measurements with previous results and all results are accessible through a web-client, this makes it possible to extract the results and paste them directly into the record system, which saves valuable time for the physiotherapist.
