This computerized equipment can assess and treat balance problems. Through a series of tests, this technology helps the therapist determine which of the three body systems responsible for balance control is contributing to the patient’s balance issues. The three body systems are: vestibular, visual and somatosensory. Once the therapist can objectively determine what the contributing factors are to the impaired balance, they can use the Biodex Balance machine to translate this into treatment. Using this equipment, treatment is done in a manner that is very engaging and fun, but is extremely effective. Progress reports of each treatment can be printed out so that the patient and family can track and compare specific progress from each treatment session.
