Balance Assessment in Vestibular Rehabilitation - Limits of Stability Assessing the Limits of Stability (LOS) allows us to evaluate stability under dynamic conditions. This is especially important because many daily activities challenge these limits, such as leaning forward to reach an object. LOS provides valuable information about voluntary motor control required for safe and independent performance of activities of daily living. Remember that most falls occur during dynami

The Basic Balance System was designed specifically to address these concerns. It offers a practical, affordable, and user-friendly solution for professionals who want to begin offering balance assessments and training.

Many individuals also develop visual dependence, relying too heavily on their vision to maintain balance. This can make visually complex environments - Learn how VR can help your patients

Limits of Stability is a functional and gold-standard test in balance assessment, widely used by clinicians and researchers to evaluate dynamic balance control and fall risk. This method measures how far and how well a person can shift their center of pressure (CoP) within their base of support, critical for maintaining balance during daily activities. It is essential for identifying postural control deficits , predicting fall risks , and tracking patient progress in neurol

Hello! We have exciting news for all PhysioSensing users! Staying true to our DNA, we are constantly evolving and improving PhysioSensing software. Our updates are driven by two key pillars: scientific evidence and the invaluable feedback and ideas from our clients. Let’s not be modest here — PhysioSensing offers a strong clinical foundation for both balance assessment and training. With over 14 assessment protocols with detailed reports , more than 30 exercises , and 6 th

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 improvi

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.

The Limits of Stability (LOS) is perhaps the most used protocol in the literature for balance assessment in a dynamic task.

The Sit-to-Stand (STS) is a well-known test to quantify the ability of the patient to lift from a sitting position to a standing position.

List of 12 balance assessment protocols with force plate. A brief resume, clinical reports and main applications.

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 protoco

1. Balance is often taken for granted Having intact balance control is essential for maintaining postural stability and ensuring safe mobility during daily activities, such as weight shifting, changing position while performing manual tasks, walking, or climbing stairs (Mancini & Horak, 2010). When balance is impaired, even simple actions, like walking across a gravel driveway, transitioning from sidewalk to grass, or getting out of bed in the middle of the night, can become

1. Balance Mechanisms & Vestibular Disorders 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 (Figure 1 – left) that include sensory input from vision (sight), proprioception (touch), and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation); integration of that sensory input; and motor output to the eye and body muscles [1]. When any of these s
