Surefooted LLC has over a decade of experience developing and testing technologies that reduce fall injuries. From professional and personal perspective we are well aware of risks from falls. Dr. Udai regularly treats patients with fall injuries and Brad Taras had to place his grandmother into assisted living to prevent frequent fall injuries. Fall injuries are a very significant public health issue that largely goes unaddressed. Surefooted has made its mission to change the standard of care.
PROBLEM
Falls are the leading cause of injury death among those aged 65 and older, and result in direct medical costs of over $34 billion annually.
The aging baby boomer population will increase the demand for technologies that prevent them from falling and allow them to maintain an active lifestyle.
Each fall injury costs approximately $18,000.
OUR SOLUTION
The Surefooted Trainer consists of a platform that actuates and angles bidirectionally at a high acceleration and to induce slip and trip conditions.
This is accomplished through dynamic gait training, which is the most effective way to simulate the perturbations one encounters in the real world.
The Surefooted Trainer redefines the standard of care in fall prevention because it enables people to develop ans strengthen neuromuscular reflexes.
