MCT Welllness: A Motion Capture Tool for Therapists that Goes Beyond the Clinic
Keep your patients moving and practicing therapeutic exercise at-home with MCT Wellness.
MOVEMENT METRICS IN YOUR INBOX
We developed MCT Wellness to provide an engagement tool for physical therapists, parents, and children with physical and cognitive disabilities. For parents and kids, it can be hard to perform prescribed movement daily to make progress, especially when the movement may be time consuming or uncomfortable. For therapists, it can be difficult to track progress once your patient leaves your offices.
MCT Wellness pairs therapists with patients and sends movement results from their play directly to both the parent and therapist inbox! You’ll have 36 movement points to review, as well as your patient’s improvement potential. Your patients and their parents can also view a graph of their progress in app!

BODY MOVEMENT CAPTURED: PROVIDER TOOLS
For progress at home or in office
Our motion capture technology captures over 36 body movement data points, and the results are sent to your email. You can recommend moves based on your patient’s needs and progress. Your patient also sees an overview of their results in-app, including the following scores for each of the following:
Lateral/Medial Stability
Ventral/Dorsal Stability
Sway Area
Base Support
Upper Bilateral Symmetry
Lower Bilateral Symmetry
Upper Bilateral Synchrony
Lower Bilateral Synchrony
Our progress reports help physical and occupational therapists adjust therapies for the best results. The graphs show body movement from a patient over time. Using our tools, office visits become fun and easy, and progress can be better assessed using our tools.
STUDIES VALIDATE REMOTE PLAY
In 2019 Playing Forward conducted an IRB approved six-week feasibility study that aimed to assess the efficacy, tolerability, usability, and acceptability of our patent pending platform to improve motor skills in children with Autism when used by both therapy clinicians and at-home caregivers. We used Virtual Reality to create an immersive experience that engaged participants in play and helped them perform the movements needed for improved mobility.
In early 2021 we conducted a remote Test and Learn study to measure engagement levels with players and branded or non-branded characters. Children from around the world participated and engaged with MCT Wellness for two weeks with either Playing Forward or Nickelodeon branded versions of the game. This was royalty free and the results are soon to be published.
KID TESTED, PARENT APPROVED
In our IRB study, we found that 100% of study participants demonstrated improvement in total function and gross motor function as measured by an increase in BOT-2 SF Raw Overall Total Score post-treatment versus pre-treatment, and that a majority of participants (both patients and caregivers) indicated they would play again.
OUR RECENT TEST & LEARN RESULTS
65% more time across all therapy sessions with Nickelodeon branded characters
2x Higher retention rate across all sessions when playing with Nickelodeon characters
58.2% more points earned while playing with Nickelodeon characters
Our studies led us to develop our own closed loop system using AI, entertainment, motion capture and VR. Patent Pending (17/141,039).
