It’s an interactive soccer and golf simulator that will help people return to sports stronger than ever.
It gives real-time feedback to both the patient and physical therapist by tracking data that will help guide treatment following an injury.
As an example, the simulator can provide information on a golf athlete’s swing speed, ball speed, and spin rate. It provides similar data for soccer players who are working to get back on the field.
