Lower limb strength and control are critical indicators of functional mobility and fall risk. Research shows that muscle strength begins to decline as early as our 30s, and accelerates with age. This significantly impacts independence, balance, and fall risk.

 

Functional movements like sit-to-stand provide valuable insights into this decline. The Aspire Motion platform enhances this assessment with a comprehensive analysis of strength and motor control during the sit-to-stand task. 

 

Using AI-driven methods, Aspire Motion captures acceleration, rotation, and energy data from a single wearable sensor to quantify the force generated by muscles. It also evaluates stability, movement control and efficiency. Completion time and number of repetitions are automatically detected (no stopwatch needed).  

​

This transforms everyday functional tasks into rich, objective endpoints that reflect neuromuscular performance in real-world settings. Aspire Motion’s analysis extends beyond sit-to-stand, supporting more advanced movements such as squats, lunges, and jumps.
