Dr. Ryan Comeau co-founded Kinetisense after realizing there was an immediate need to provide movement specialists and clinicians with an objective analysis tool. Dr. Comeau recognized the immense gap between the human motion analysis systems that he worked with in undergraduate studies and the archaic assessment tools/techniques that practitioners were required to use. Dr. Comeau and fellow co-founder David Schnare created the first iteration of Kinetisense in 2015 with the goal of improving healthcare through improved assessment.
The accuracy of Kinetisense as a clinical-grade markerless motion capture system is unmatched. Kinetisense understands that there are inherent “outlier” data points that enter the system from the tracking process, and these can affect the overall accuracy of the assessment. Kinetisense is the only markerless motion capture system that removes this outlier data in real-time through its advanced AI-driven motion capture engine.
As movement specialists, we require new technologies that will improve our processes and our overall quality of care. However, these systems cannot and will not fully integrate if they slow the clinician down. Kinetisense is a high-end assessment tool that makes the clinician more efficient and more objective. The system is easy to use, which allows for assessments to be conducted by a non-clinically trained staff member. This frees the practitioner up to spend more time in treatment with the patient.
The new Kinetisense iOS system has proven to be a game-changer. The portability within and outside of the clinic adds a whole new dimension to clinical motion capture assessment. Grow your clinic quickly and/or add new billables with the addition of the new Kinetisense V6 system.
With the release of our iOS solution, using Kinetisense in a clinical setting has never been easier. The portable design of the iPad allows for it to be moved and set up in any treatment room.
When it comes to setting up the iPad on a table, the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro is the perfect accessory to have. For users switching from the Intel camera to Kinetisense on iPad, use your current tripod and purchase a tripod mount adapter. Another option would be to use an adjustable gooseneck floor stand.
Please refer to the iPad starter document for links to each of the suggested accessories and to see the new updates that have been made to the Kinetisense software!

There is nothing wrong with using the iPad while it is charging, but try to avoid running any high graphics games or applications when doing so. This can cause the iPad to become very hot and may damage the battery over time. Kinetisense is considered to be a high graphics application, so avoid using it while charging the iPad.
During Low Power Mode:
It is not recommended to run Kinetisense assessments when on Low Power mode. The Kinetisense application will be slow and may freeze if run on Lower Power Mode.
Upgrading to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS software provides the latest features, security updates, and bug fixes.
Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

Kinetisense is a proud sponsor of Parker Seminars and recently attended the latest seminar in Orlando, Florida. Parker Seminars provide a variety of continuing-education experiences for both the Doctor of Chiropractic and chiropractic assistant. This event also includes the largest expo in the profession, where vendors display the latest industry products and technologies. After 7 years of development, it was exciting to finally be able to share our new iOS solution with the chiropractic community!
Huge thanks to all that visited our booth and supported us!
Falls are widely considered to be an increasingly serious public health problem. In addition to being a known cause of injury and death, falls can lead to declines in mobility and self-imposed limitations on daily activities and socialization (1, 2).
Balance and gait impairments in older individuals have been shown to contribute to an increased risk of falling (3). One parameter of gait that has received considerable attention is gait speed. “In older adults, evidence suggests that gait speed can predict several adverse outcomes, including mortality, functional dependence, well-being, cognitive decline, and frailty” (4). As individuals age, gait becomes slower and step length becomes shorter (2, 5). Slower gaits have been shown to be directly associated with an increased fall risk (2). As a result, gait speed is a key variable that health professionals can focus on to differentiate between elderly fallers and non-fallers.
Kinetisense provides an objective, efficient, and easy to use tool that can reproducibly analyze multiple gait parameters (including gait speed) that have been found to be indicative of functionality and subsequently one’s risk of fall. Being able to accurately detect those who are more likely to fall will allow practitioners to determine if a patient requires intervention, and will ultimately aid in the prevention of injury, loss of quality of life, and possibly even death.
