Introducing Motio StepWatch 5: The Next Generation of Activity Monitoring for Prosthetic Care

We are excited to announce the official release of Motio StepWatch 5 (SW5)—the latest innovation in step counting technology, now available to all new customers of the Motio StepWatch System and Motio Functional Reports!   Key Features of Motio StepWatch 5: 
  • Compact & Lightweight: With just 20 grams, Motio SW5 is lighter than ever, without compromising on functionality or accuracy. 
  • Advanced Step Counting: Provides high-resolution step data to precisely measure patient mobility. This allows clinicians to better understand their patient’s activity and make informed decisions about prosthetic care. 
  • Extended Data Storage: Stores between 27 and 365 days of step activity, depending on user activity levels. 
  • Wireless Charging: Convenient Qi-standard charging keeps Motio SW5 powered for up to 15 days without uploads. 
  • Waterproof Design: Rated IPX8, making it ideal for all-day wear in various environments. 
  • Versatile Placement: The ideal placement for the Motio StepWatch 5 is laterally, facing up, and positioned as proximally as possible to the ankle. This ensures accurate recording of mobility metrics by aligning the device with the line of progression of gait. However, this new version offers flexibility in placement. It can be positioned facing either up or down, and placed medially, laterally, anteriorly, or posteriorly on the prosthesis. This versatility ensures accurate step detection regardless of the specific positioning, making it adaptable to various patient needs and prosthetic components. 
 Motio App and Motio StepWatch 5: A Powerful Combination  StepWatch 5 isn’t just a step counter—it’s a key component of the Motio StepWatch System, a solution designed to quantify activity levels and support prosthetic care decisions. Here’s how it works: 
  • Objective Activity Monitoring: The Motio SW5 device records cadence, distance, speed, steps and many other metrics over a minimum 7-days period, to provide an accurate activity profile of lower-limb prosthetic users. 
  • Functional Level Estimation: The Motio StepWatch System helps clinicians determine functional mobility levels for appropriate prosthetic and rehabilitation prescriptions. 
  • Insurance Justification: The Motio Functional Report provides data-driven insights to the Rehabilitation Team, helping justify the provision of prosthetic components. 
  • Optimized Prosthetic Outcomes: By tracking evolution through real-world data, clinicians can adjust treatment plans based on actual patient activity, leading to better mobility and rehabilitation results. 
 The Motio Functional Report plays a crucial role in transforming activity data into actionable insights for prosthetic care.
