Seated Exercise Technology (SET) is an integrated solution for walking
and balance rehabilitation
SET is an integrated solution for treatment and analysis of walking and balance, to assist with rehabilitation for elderly and neurologically impaired people. The solution incorporates monitors to assess balance with a device that allows the user to train for walking while seated – making it easier for rehabilitation professionals to optimise personal training.

In 2015 in the EU28, there were 46 million falls among older people
Falls and fall injuries are major predictors of loss of independence and admission to long-term care, which can double or triple a senior's cost of care. In the EU, the direct cost of fragility fractures has reached €31.7 billion per year. By monitoring the risk of falls, and providing exercise to prevent them, SET’s integrated approach to fall prevention will contribute to reduction of this huge expenditure.
