Challenges in movement and rehabilitation research

Researchers studying human movement often rely on laboratory equipment that is expensive, complex, and difficult to deploy outside specialised environments. Collecting biomechanical data in real-world clinical settings can be challenging.

Bio6 provides a wearable sensing platform that allows researchers to capture movement data during functional tasks and rehabilitation exercises: in clinics, rehabilitation centres, and real-world environments.

Capture objective movement data

Replace laboratory motion capture equipment with wearable sensors that measure joint kinematics, symmetry, and biomechanical patterns during functional tasks.

Track longitudinal recovery

Collect data across multiple time points and sessions to study recovery trajectories, treatment response, and the effectiveness of rehabilitation protocols over time.

Analyse neuromuscular function

Measure muscle activation timing and neuromuscular coordination during movement assessments to study motor control in clinical and healthy populations.

Deploy in real-world environments

Conduct research studies outside the laboratory in clinics, rehabilitation centres, and community settings to improve ecological validity of findings.

Research Example

Study of gait recovery after stroke

Researchers studying stroke rehabilitation aim to understand how patients regain walking symmetry during recovery. Using BioBand sensors, researchers capture walking data during therapy sessions to quantify recovery progression and evaluate rehabilitation protocol effectiveness.

Measurements captured

Gait recovery protocol

BioBand sensors capture the following signals during walking assessments across sessions:

  • Step duration and cadence
  • Stride symmetry index
  • Balance stability during stance
  • Muscle activation timing

Outputs

Structured research data outputs

Bio6 gives researchers the metrics and structured datasets they need to analyse movement patterns, evaluate rehabilitation outcomes, and publish scientific findings.

Longitudinal dataset tracking

Collect biomechanical data across study sessions and time points. Monitor recovery trajectories and compare participant datasets to establish normative benchmarks and study treatment effectiveness.

Movement symmetry analysis

Measure left-right balance and bilateral coordination during functional movement tasks. Quantify symmetry indices across study populations to study neuromuscular control and asymmetry patterns.

Outcome measure scoring

Track participants against standardised functional benchmarks. Generate consistent outcome scores across sessions to support statistical analysis and comparison between intervention and control groups.

Structured research exports

Generate publication-ready datasets and visualisations. Export biomechanical metrics, neuromuscular signals, and physiological data in structured formats ready for statistical analysis and scientific reporting.

Bio6 provides a flexible platform for collecting biomechanical data during rehabilitation studies. The system allows us to monitor movement patterns in real-world clinical environments.
