Dear Colleague,

 

Did you hear? Motio is now part of the Amparo Prosthetics family: 

Amparo Acquires Adapttech and Further Commits to Revolutionizing Prosthetic Care

 

With this merger comes a brand new Motio StepWatch™ 2.0, as well as a powerful update to the Motio App which includes new tools to boost your clinical insights.

 

But let's recap on what this technology can do for you..

 

Warm regards 🌻

The problem statement:
 
There is a need to quantify the activity level and determine the potential benefit of a prosthetic device for lower-limb amputees.
  • Traditional tests can be subjective, and ratings are often based on a short, once-off assessment,
  • It is difficult to determine the optimal componentry for each prosthetic user's needs,
  • Reimbursement data are created manually.
The Solution:
 
The Motio StepWatch™ is a new prosthetic device that measures the functionality of prosthetic patients. Developed by Adapttech, an European company that has implemented this device in the USA as well as many European countries, including Australia and New Zealand. 
This small Bluetooth device is applied to the most proximal end of shaft - in line with the prosthetic ankle. The device records data that is accumulated over at least 7 days of wear, after which this is then synchronized to an online portal to produce the Motio Functional Report.

Motio StepWatch™ device

Accompanies a prosthetic user for a minimum period of 7 days, gathering data on cadence, distance, speed, and other metrics to allow the clinician to properly classify their patient's activity and K-level.

Motio Functional Report

Allows O&P professionals to perform current standard outcome measures while assessing the patient's ambulation data acquired from their real life and outside the clinical environment.

Accurate Patient Assessment

To centralize all the essential information required for an accurate patient assessment, the Motio System incorporates different outcome measures that can be used for reimbursement purposes & justifying a patient’s need for certain prosthetic components.

📈 Comparison Reports  (NEW)

A brand-new way to evaluate outcomes!

You can now generate side-by-side reports to track a user's progress over time or compare the effects of different prosthetic components.

  • 📊 Monitor changes in user activity across multiple data captures
  • 🔁 Assess performance before and after a component change
  • 💡 Support clinical decisions with clear, data-driven insights
