Cervicogenic Dizziness: What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Treat It -A clear, evidence‑based guide for clinicians and patients. Dizziness is a common complaint among adults, describing sensations such as lightheadedness, disequilibrium, or a feeling of heaviness in the head. According to the Bárány Society, dizziness reflects a disturbed or impaired spatial orientation without a hallucinatory sense of motion. Emerging evidence suggests that cervical spine dysfunction may

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 neurologic

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

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

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

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

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.
