Hiking is a hobby enjoyed by individuals of all ages, but many experience issues such as muscle pain, fatigue, and injuries. SeismicTM recently created a new technology that is safe and sustainable for older adults, called SeismicTM Powered Clothing (SPC). SPC provides older adults with support when performing actions like hiking, preventing them from experiencing any negative effects. While SPC may be extremely beneficial to a large population, social determinants of health (SDoHs) including Indigenous status, food insecurity, employment/working conditions, and geographical location may impact the access of this biotechnology. Nonetheless, future applications of SPC involve its use in running and assisting individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
