The Moterum iStride Solution™ , covered by dozens of patent applications and issued patents, changes the gait of its user to re-pattern the user’s brain so they relearn how to walk, while monitoring, assessing, and engaging through a digital therapeutic platform. The device has successfully been used in clinical trials to help people walk faster, reduce fall risk, and improve balance. It is commercially available with a prescription
