CatchU

Mobility requires efficient interaction of musculoskeletal and sensory systems (especially visual, somatosensory, and vestibular) to control everyday movements, and these systems are known to be compromised in aging and linked to cognitive status. We recently developed a step-by-step protocol for administering and calculating multisensory integration effects in an effort to facilitate innovative and novel translational research across diverse clinical populations and age ranges. Our digital health mobile fall risk tool CatchU® affords access to multisensory assessments that can be utilized in both clinical and research settings. The impetus for creating CatchU®, a mobile fall-risk tool designed for seniors, was to afford opportunities to develop and introduce multisensory-based interventions to alleviate disability and maintain independence in older adults.
