How it works
A practitioner builds a programme on the system for your goal, whether that is rehabilitation after injury, strength, mobility, balance or general fitness. At each session you stand in front of the station, which shows a video demonstration of the exercise, then tracks your body using a depth camera as you perform it. It measures range of movement, speed, symmetry and alignment, gives immediate feedback on what to correct, and counts only the repetitions that meet the standard. Results are stored so your practitioner sees exactly what you did and how well.
What it is used for
Rehabilitation, where doing exercises correctly matters more than doing them hard, and where progress needs to be measured: after knee, hip and shoulder injuries and surgery, for back pain, and in return to sport. Strength and conditioning for people who want structure and correction without a trainer at every session. Balance and mobility work for older adults and those with vestibular problems. Movement analysis at the start of a fitness programme to identify weaknesses and asymmetries.
Why it is useful
Most people do rehabilitation exercises incorrectly at home and cannot tell. The station catches that. It also removes the guesswork about whether you are progressing, because every session is measured against the last. And it makes supervised-quality exercise available at more sessions than one-to-one coaching would allow.
What it is not
A replacement for assessment or hands-on treatment. The programme is only as good as the clinician who sets it, and the station complements rather than replaces physiotherapy.
