Steve lives with his wife and has had significant issues with his mobility, particularly his ability to perform a sit-to-stand movement unassisted as well as impairments in gait and balance for several years.
During an initial demo event for run by Get Ahead Physio and Strolll, Steve faced difficulty getting out of a chair unassisted. His primary objective throughout the use of Reality DTx® was to achieve independent sit-to-stand capability and improve his general gait and balance.
In his initial in-clinic assessment, Steve was unable to complete the five-time sit-to-stand outcome measurement utilized by clinicians to establish a baseline for patients. Fast forward six weeks, and Steve has achieved the remarkable goal of being able to rise from a chair without any external assistance. This new ability has significantly boosted his confidence, especially when venturing out of his home, as he no longer fears becoming “stuck” in a chair.
In addition to improvements in his sit-to-stand ability, Steve has experienced a noticeable enhancement in his gait pattern, contributing to increased confidence during walking.
Thanks to his engagement with Reality DTx®, Steve has developed a consistent exercise routine, leading to improved functional reach and bilateral upper limb range of movement and these positive changes have had a profound impact on various aspects of his life.
