3D motion software now part of Brunswick physical therapy practice
Reform Physical Therapy in Brunswick said this week it has added new 3D motion analysis through a software platform from Kinotek, a Portland startup that developed a digital health platform for body-motion assessment.
Jill Partridge, Reform’s owner and CEO, said the tool will enhance communication with patients and referring providers.
“Coupled with our one-on-one treatment model, this technology will allow patients to better understand their own bodies and how they can improve their mobility and function,” she said.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The technology allows physical therapists to view, pause, replay and analyze an individual’s movements. Partridge said she anticipates the launch will increase patient awareness of the asymmetries or compensations that become apparent when they move, which could otherwise go unnoticed.
Kinotek’s 3D motion analysis platform uses LiDAR technology to map a person’s movements from any angle across 360 degrees, providing objective data quickly and accurately along with immersive visualizations. LiDAR, a remote sensing method, stands for Light Detection and Ranging.
“We developed it specifically to support therapists like those at Reform who are always seeking to advance the impact of their work and enhance their relationship with patients,” said Joey Spitz, Kinotek’s COO.

Reform added the platform at its six locations in Maine, including Topsham, Eliot, Yarmouth, Kennebunk and Freeport.
Founded in 2008, Reform offers products and services designed to treat the individual as a whole, not just the injury.
