February is National Senior Independence Month when we celebrate seniors and empower them to have the confidence and quality of life that comes with independent living.
Throughout the month, we encourage you to spend some time considering the challenges presented as we age, and ways older adults can maintain their autonomy while living a high-quality life in the way they want to live.
According to the AARP, nearly 90 percent of adults over 65 want to remain in their current homes as they grow older. The value of maintaining independence as we age is a high priority. The definition of independence is not requiring or relying on something else, the freedom from control, influence, support, or aid. Independence gives each of us a sense of purpose and the ability to remain independent and exercise autonomy is an important component to mental and physical wellbeing. What are ways that we can directly aid older adults to maintain independence?
According to the World Health Organization, by 2050, the world’s population of people aged 60 years and older will double to over 2 billion. National Senior Independence Month is important to show that we care about our aging population, sets a positive example for our younger citizens on how to treat the older population, and helps us to create a more inclusive society for all.
Here are a few impactful ways you can celebrate National Senior Independence Month;

Winter is a beautiful time of the year to be outside to enjoy fresh, crisp air - it can also be a time of caution for walker users. Winter brings cold, snow and ice - all which cover the surfaces we walk on when outdoors, making walking conditions more dangerous and fall risk greater. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly a million Americans are injured annually falling on ice or snow. Of those, 17,000 of the injuries are fatal. Falls are the leading cause to injury that lead to hospitalization in people over 65. Yet, mobility and navigating the outdoors in the winter months is key to maintaining both physical and mental health.

During the eleven weeks of testing, on a weekly basis, the StrideTech team would meet with Barbara to download the previous week’s data from the StrideTech Go, replace the device’s SD card, display walker use data, and get feedback on how well the device was functioning. In this white paper, we share how we were able to collect data to support both daily and weekly patterns of activity.

After using StrideTech GO for eleven weeks, Barbara saw a 30% decrease in misuse rate can be seen for both hip distance and weight-bearing from week one. When asked about her experience using the Stride Tech Go, Barbara explained that using StrideTech Go made her feel more confident in walking knowing that 1. She was improving and 2. She would get immediate feedback if started slipping back into unsafe walker behaviors.

The FSRs correlate a change in force to a change in electrical resistance, which can be read as a change in voltage. The change in voltage is then calibrated against known forces or loads. Our partnership with the Denver University’s Human Dynamics Laboratory has allowed us to test our FSRs and conclude that they successfully are able to detect and measure walker misuse.

Through our partnerships with Springwood and Sunrise Senior Living, we hosted free walker repair events that allowed us to collect, analyize, and get feedback on our StrideTech GO smart walker attachment from single product testing sessions. In this white paper, we show results that support our StrideTech GO smart walker attachment can identify the two habits of walker misuse (excessive weight and/or hip distance). We also explore how we are able to collect data on how users response when vibrational feedback is triggered due to walker misuse.

Transitional movements such as turning can be a vital indicator of mobility quality, with longer turning durations being an indicator of higher fall risk. With StrideTech Go, we can use our hip-distance measurements to determine 1. If someone is turning, 2. The duration of their turn and, 3. How much their hip-distance deviates from their baseline during a turn, 4. use our left- and right-hand force measurements to determine asymmetrical gait.

By 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be over the age of 65. The number of older adults in the United States is growing. This makes the need for safe, cutting-edge technology that will help our aging population live their highest quality of life, critical. While senior care has been slower to embrace technology, communities that are utilizing technology are paving the way to the future of senior care. This shared belief is how StrideTech quickly aligned with Modena Cherry Creek Senior Living.
