1. Introduction Stroke is the third leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally, with a predicted rise in prevalence creating an increased demand for rehabilitation services. Balance dysfunction, a common sequela post-stroke, significantly impairs daily activities and heightens fall risk. This case study investigates the impact of a 15-session balance exercise program, incorporating PhysioSensing balance plate with visual biofeedback and interactive games, on improving

The clinical examination of balance control, although relatively simple and cost‑effective, provides only a subjective assessment of potential deficits. To overcome the limitations in objectivity and reliability inherent to clinical testing, instrumented assessments using force and pressure platforms have been developed. These technologies allow for the precise quantification of postural control, a technique known as posturography. Read the article to discover Posturography b

Balance disorders, often overlooked and misunderstood, can have a profound impact on an individual's daily life, making even simple tasks a formidable challenge. From feeling dizzy and lightheaded to experiencing unexplained falls, balance disorders encompass a range of symptoms that can be both frustrating and debilitating. In this article we will explore different causes for balance dysfunction and patient populations that do suffer from it, let us discuss the true nature o

Part III - Rehabilitation Program with PhysioSensing 1. Balance and Stability – Sagittal Goal: To improve postural control, while trying to distribute body weight equally on both feet to reach a stable (balance) position. Balance and Stability - Sagittal Exercise Interface Balance and Stability - Sagittal Exercise Parameters Definition of exercise’s parameters: Tolerance: 15% - Tolerance is the weight percentage margin allowed so that the indicator remains green. To decr

Part II - Balance Assessment with PhysioSensing PhysioSensing has 12 assessment protocols that measure balance through COP displacement. Below, you can see our evidence-based recommendation of which PhysioSensing assessment protocols are adequate for each balance dimension within the neurologic disorder’s context. Balance dimension PhysioSensing Assessment Sensory reception and organization mCTSIB, Romberg Test, Total Balance Pro Proprioception Limits of Stability, Romberg Te

Part I - State of the art 1. Contextualizing Neurological disorders are one of the major causes of mortality and disability worldwide (GBD 2016 Neurology Collaborators, 2019) and are frequently associated with varying degrees of sensory and motor problems. Balance control impairment is often present in patients suffering from these disorders, highly impacting daily life. Having an intact balance control is required for maintaining postural stability and for enabling safe mo

In this article you will find out the importance of Balance Assessment & Training.

Unilateral Stance, allows the assessment of the patient’s postural control with left and right foot raised, alternately.

You will learn what is a posturography, what is measured and importance.

Learn how you can perform Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) with Force/Pressure Platform. Check how CoP/Body Sway add value for this test.

PhysioSensing Balance Software´21, is now a powerful balance software analysis tool. Check all the new improvements.

A look at the Fall Risk protocol Falls are one of the greatest causes of serious health problems among older adults, representing more than 50% of the hospitalizations due to lesions in this age group [1]. Falls have a multifactorial origin, which includes mobility problems, balance disorders, chronic illnesses, and impaired vision. Thus, it is important to incorporate fall risk screening in the elder’s health monitoring routine. PhysioSensing Balance Software has a protocol

We created a new approach to balance assessment: Total Balance Pro The motive behind As we explained before in one of our articles (What is Balance?), balance is the ability to maintain the body’s center of mass over its base of support. Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems that include sensory input from vision (sight), proprioception (touch), and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation); integration of t

What is it? Static analysis, also known as baropodometry, is the study of the pressure that acts between the plantar surface of the foot and the support surface in a static position. The term borapodometry is derived from Latin: BARO = PRESSURE PODO = FEET METRY = MEASURE Therefore, baropodometry is the measurement of plantar pressures, allowing an evaluation of the plantar pressure distribution and also of the center of pressure (CoP), which cor
