Today's Issue.
Each day, around 25,000 people suffer ankle sprains and other lower body injuries. Improper exercise execution during rehabilitation leads to re-injury rates of up to 38%, stemming from a lack of knowledge and monitoring.
This mismanagement prolongs recovery, increases financial strain, and causes significant psychological distress, including anxiety and lowered self-esteem. For physiotherapists, the time-intensive nature of rehabilitation limits their ability to help more patients.
Our Innovative Solution: Kinector™
Introducing Kinector™, an innovative solution designed to enhance the rehabilitation process for ankle injuries. This comprehensive system combines a physical brace equipped with electromyography (EMG) sensors, a mobile app for patients, and a web portal for physiotherapists.
