Balance Master System from Lake Erie Med!

The Balance Master® system offers all of the benefits and features of the Basic Balance Master® system, plus additional assessment and training activities that can only be performed with a long (18" x 60") forceplate.

Objective Assessment Protocols
NeuroCom’s interactive technology allows the clinician to objectively assess patients performing tasks ranging from those essential to daily living through high-level athletic skills. The objective data helps the clinician design effective treatment and/or training programs focused on the specific sensory and motor components underlying a patient’s functional limitations.
Standardized Assessment Protocols
The standardized assessment protocols included on the system provide objective assessments of:

• Weight bearing symmetry
• Sensory interaction on balance
• Voluntary motor control
• Neuromuscular coordination

The following standardized assessment protocols are included on the Balance Master®:

Impairment Assessments

Limits of Stability (LOS)
modified Clinical Test for the Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB)
Rhythmic Weight Shift (RWS)
 
Functional Limitation Assessments

Weight Bearing Squat (WBS)
Unilateral Stance (US)
Sit-to-Stand (STS)
Walk Across (WA)
Tandem Walk (TW)
Step/Quick Turn (SQT)
Step Up/Over (SUO)
Forward Lunge (FL)


Systematic Training Protocols

Interactive, functional training exercises using visual biofeedback, coupled with sensitive, real-time monitoring of movement motivates patients to achieve greater balance control faster.
 
Exercises can be tailored to meet individual patient needs and can be progressed as the patient’s capabilities improve.
 
Training protocols include:

• Seated balance/strength training
• Standing balance/weight bearing training
• Mobility training
• Closed chain training

Tasks can also be adapted and/or enhanced with optional system accessories such as a rocker board, inclined wedges and step-up boxes, or with the standard foam pad included with the system.

Automated Documentation

The system automatically documents initial assessments and training compliance for verification of patient progress and functional outcomes.
