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

Discover the challenges of an aging population and the importance of balance screening as a biomarker for elderly health.

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

Limits of stability Limits of Stability are a concept defined as the points at which the center of gravity approaches the limits of the base of support. In other words, it is defined as the maximum distance a person can displace the center of pressure (CoP) by leaning the body within the base of support without having to take a step, without losing balance (Tomita et al., 2021). The range of displacement in the anterior directions is around 6º to 8º, in a mediolateral displa

How to perform mCTSIB and how to interpret the results.

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

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 de

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.

After a long journey of new developments and software improvements, PhysioSensing Balance Software’22 is now available. After 10 years of development and experience, PhysioSensing Balance Software’22 is now a powerful balance software analysis tool . We are updating it to all our clients. In this version, you can find: All protocols, exercises and games interfaces are redesigned, accordingly to the main design of PhysioSensing. Two new games, are now available to trainee the

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.

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.

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. The science behind Both platforms measure different biomechanical characteristics. However, it’s easy to get pressure confused with force, and vice-versa: The pressure platform measures the plantar pressure distribution, obtaining the plantar pressure map, similar to a heatmap of the foot. The force platform measures the magnitude and direction of the resulting force, independent of the contact area, obtaining the resulting vector from the ground reacti

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
