The Stepscan mobility assessment tool captures and analyzes the irregularities in gait and balance, quickly and reliably identifying high risk fallers. Based on research collected from over 3,600 subjects, the Stepscan Fall Risk Score is an evidence-based measurement that can be used in conjunction with established fall-risk intervention strategies to reduce the number of falls within your facility.
If you are looking for a strategy to enhance the quality of your operation in relation to patient safety and quality of care, Stepscan® can help.
2 Questions to Ask When Considering New Medical Technology For Your Clinic
Questions To Ask When Considering the Purchase of New Medical Technology for Your Clinic
We are seeing an extraordinary rise in the use of technology in clinics.

Whatever your pain point is, there is probably a product on the market that could help alleviate your clinic's challenges.
When you are evaluating a purchase, like most business managers, you are probably asking questions about features, pricing and return on investment. These are all very important variables to the person (or people) responsible for clinical efficiency and fiscal health of a business.
