Using GaitSmart in Care Pathways
GaitSmart testing has been incorporated within existing care pathways in hospitals, care homes, falls clinics and GP surgeries.
The quick and easy-to-use GaitSmart test can be administered by non-professional healthcare workers with minimal training.
GaitSmart’s digital test results allow easy retrieval of patient information and the ability to track changes in mobility over time.
The Patient Journey
Patients visit their GaitSmart advisor to generate their first report.
The report shows the severity of their issues and a personalised set of exercises.
At each assessment, the exercises are adapted as the patient’s gait improves.
The patient is left walking confidently, feeling fitter and freely walking again.

What our people say:
Hip Replacement, further hip and knee issues
“My name is HP, I am 70 years old.
Over a number of years, I had ongoing issues with both my hips and a further issue with my right knee. My ability to walk any distance got worse year on year to the point that I had to do something to relive the horrendous pain. I attended my local GP and was referred to a specialist at a nearby hospital. Following examination and various x-rays and MRI scans it was confirmed that I would need a replacement right hip and possibly left hip later, possibly within one year. I was operated in July and spent 3 nights in hospital. I was discharged and given a series of exercises to do along with some physiotherapy, this did help and within a few weeks I was able to walk without any aids.
It was at this point I was introduced to GaitSmart. I started attending sessions using GaitSmart in November and continued through until August. The regular monitoring along with prescribed exercises have helped enormously. My walking and gait improved on a month-on-month basis, starting at 56% and improving to 86% on the GaitSmart score.
I would highly recommend GaitSmart to anyone having similar issues with walking.
I am delighted with the support I was given by Dynamic Metrics.
Yours truly
HP”

User Testimony: Clinical Trial
“Modelling and Artificial intelligence using sensor data to Personalise REHABilitation following joint replacement
“For the past 12 months, I have been using the GaitSmart system within the MAP-Rehab research study based at the NNUH.
After minimal training, I have found the equipment easy and intuitive to use. The system is compact, durable and fully portable.
We have had excellent support from the team at Dynamic Metrics whom we have found to be very approachable and always on hand if we have any questions or issues.
Thanks to the colour coding system, the reports are visually easy to understand for both research staff and participants.
Participants have been very impressed with quick results and have really enjoyed participating in this study.”
