What Is Moti Physio?
Moti Physio is an advanced AI-powered movement analysis system that allows Optima Physical Therapy to evaluate posture, balance, core control, and functional movement with unmatched precision.
Using cutting-edge computer vision technology, Moti Physio captures real-time motion data through a simple camera—no sensors, markers, or wearables needed. Within seconds, it generates detailed reports that help identify movement asymmetries, compensations, mobility restrictions, and balance deficits.
How It Works
- You perform a series of guided movements while the Moti Physio system records your motion.
- Artificial intelligence analyzes your posture, joint angles, and movement patterns.
- A personalized movement report is created instantly, highlighting strengths, deficits, and risk factors.
- Your physical therapist uses this data to design a precise, individualized treatment plan.
What Moti Physio Measures
- Posture alignment (head, shoulder, spine, and pelvic positioning)
- Balance stability and fall-risk indicators
- Core strength and control
- Mobility and flexibility
- Movement symmetry and coordination
Why We Use Moti Physio at Optima Physical Therapy
- More accurate evaluations than observation alone
- Objective progress tracking with measurable data at each visit
- Early detection of movement issues that may lead to pain or injury
- Enhanced rehab outcomes through personalized exercise prescriptions
- Engaging reports that help patients see their improvements clearly
Who Can Benefit
Moti Physio is ideal for:
- Patients recovering from injury or surgery
- Individuals with chronic pain
- Athletes wanting performance analysis
- Older adults needing balance and fall-risk assessment
- Anyone seeking to understand their posture or movement patterns
What Is the VALD ForceFrame?
The VALD ForceFrame is a state-of-the-art strength testing and rehabilitation system used by elite sports teams, medical clinics, and now Optima Physical Therapy to deliver unmatched accuracy in muscle strength assessment. It provides objective, real-time data that helps clinicians measure strength, identify imbalances, track progress, and design highly individualized treatment programs.
How the ForceFrame Works
- The patient performs isometric strength tests (no movement, just pushing or pulling) against adjustable force sensors.
- The ForceFrame instantly records peak force, asymmetries, and muscle activation levels.
- Your therapist reviews the results to diagnose deficits, monitor changes over time, and tailor exercise programs based on measurable data.
What the ForceFrame Measures
- Shoulder strength
- Hip strength
- Knee strength (including quadriceps and hamstrings)
- Ankle strength
- Custom test positions for nearly any joint or muscle group
It is one of the most versatile and precise strength-testing systems available in rehabilitation.
Why Optima Physical Therapy Uses the VALD ForceFrame
- Objective data replaces guesswork during evaluations
- Early detection of muscle weakness that may contribute to pain or injury
- Accurate return-to-sport or return-to-work decisions
- Progress tracking that shows patients exactly how they are improving
- Enhanced treatment planning through targeted strengthening based on real numbers
Who Can Benefit From ForceFrame Testing?
- Patients recovering from orthopedic surgeries (rotator cuff repair, ACL, total knee, etc.)
- Individuals with chronic pain or muscle imbalance
- Athletes seeking performance enhancement or injury prevention
- Older adults needing strength assessment for fall risk
- Anyone wanting a clear, science-based picture of their physical strength

What Is the Baiobit Motion Sensor?
The Baiobit Motion Sensor is an advanced, wearable movement analysis device that provides precise, real-time insight into how your body moves. Used by rehabilitation clinics and sports-performance centers worldwide, the Baiobit system helps our therapists at Optima Physical Therapy measure motion, balance, stability, and functional ability with accuracy far beyond what the human eye can see.
This tiny wireless sensor attaches to your body and instantly captures detailed biomechanical data—transforming your evaluation and treatment into a highly measurable, personalized experience.
How the Baiobit Works
- A lightweight sensor is placed on your lower back, leg, or other target area
- You perform simple activities (walking, squatting, balancing, reaching, jumping, etc.)
- Baiobit records movement patterns, joint angles, acceleration, coordination, symmetry, and stability
- Your therapist uses this objective data to diagnose issues and customize your rehab program
What Baiobit Measures
- Gait analysis (step length, cadence, asymmetry)
- Balance and postural control
- Joint mobility and range of motion
- Functional tests (TUG, Sit-to-Stand, Jump tests, Fall-risk metrics)
- Core stability and movement quality
- Rehab progress with objective before-and-after data
Baiobit turns movement into measurable numbers—so we know exactly what’s improving and what still needs work.
Why Optima Physical Therapy Uses Baiobit
- Accurate movement assessment to identify causes of pain and dysfunction
- Objective progress tracking for both patients and providers
- Fall-risk screening with precision
- Enhanced rehab planning based on real biomechanical data
- Motivating visual feedback that shows patients their improvements over time
- Return-to-sport and return-to-work decisions supported by measurable evidence
Whether you’re rehabbing an injury, managing chronic pain, improving balance, or enhancing athletic performance, Baiobit gives us a deeper understanding of how your body moves.
Who Benefits from Baiobit Testing?
- Patients with back, knee, hip, or shoulder conditions
- Older adults needing balance assessments or fall-prevention training
- Athletes returning to sport
- Post-surgical patients
- Individuals with gait abnormalities or mobility limitations
- Anyone wanting measurable proof of their progress
What is Insight Infrared Video Goggles (IIVG)?
Advanced Vestibular Assessment Technology at Optima Physical Therapy
At Optima Physical Therapy, we use Insight Infrared Video Goggles—a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that allows our clinicians to accurately identify and treat dizziness, vertigo, balance disorders, and other vestibular impairments with unmatched precision.
What Are Insight Infrared Video Goggles?
Insight Infrared Video Goggles (IIVG) are specialized goggles equipped with high-speed infrared cameras that record eye movements in real time. When the vestibular system is not functioning correctly, the eyes reveal patterns that are often impossible to detect without advanced technology. IIVG removes visual fixation, allowing your therapist to observe involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) that pinpoint the exact cause of dizziness or imbalance.
Why We Use Them at Optima
The vestibular system is complex—accurate diagnosis requires accuracy, clarity, and objective measurement. Insight goggles offer:
- High-definition infrared recording for precise identification of vestibular disorders
- Real-time analysis of eye movements during positional testing
- Improved accuracy of BPPV diagnosis and canal involvement
- Enhanced tracking of treatment effectiveness over time
- Objective documentation to guide individualized treatment plans
This technology helps ensure we are not guessing—we are measuring.
Conditions We Assess With Insight Goggles
✔ Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
✔ Vestibular neuritis & labyrinthitis
✔ Concussion-related dizziness
✔ Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD)
✔ Motion sensitivity
✔ Balance and gait dysfunction
✔ Post-stroke vestibular impairment
How It Helps You Recover Faster
With Insight Infrared Goggles, our therapists can:
- See what the naked eye cannot, leading to faster, more accurate diagnoses
- Target the exact canal involved in BPPV for precise maneuvers
- Verify successful repositioning immediately after treatment
- Adjust vestibular rehabilitation exercises based on real, measurable changes
This leads to faster results, fewer visits, and highly personalized care.
