A great time saving tool for physiotherapists

Money well spent. I use this with most of my patients in geriatric and neuro rehab.
I like how the volume buttons on the side of my phone can be used to start and stop the timer so o don’t have to look at the screen while I’m walking with the patient.
Quick calculations to make my assessment more efficient. Thank you for this contribution to our physio toolkit.

Wonderful App

This is a wonderfully simple app to calculate gait speed. Gait speed has been shown to be related to mortality, falls, loss of mobility, and nursing home admissions in older adults. This app lets you quickly calculate gait speed. I think it is great and hope to see more apps like this in the future.
