Effective management of patients with balance and mobility disorders requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach with:
-
Accurate assessment and patient classification
-
Customized treatment focused on the impairments of the individual patient
-
Evidence-based care plan
Expand your business with Balance Advantage Systems:
The Bertec Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP/IVR) system is used to provide the gold standard in balance evaluation protocols to isolate and quantify impairments that contribute to a balance problem.
The CDP/IVR system incorporates Immersive Virtual Reality in its distinctive dome, using computer-generated visual stimuli both for assessment and unique training environments, and a highly sensitive dynamic dual balance plate.
The CDP/IVR simulates an engaging visual environment that improves patients’ experience and leads to improved outcomes in rehabilitation. Available with the Bertec Balance Advantage software, the platform offers different training options for people who need to improve their balance. These include weight shifting, quick training, mobility, closed chain and seated training.
Bertec Portable Essential’s dual-balance plate captures minute shifts in balance and provides information on the asymmetry of loads of the right and left foot, allowing for more versatile assessments and accurate measurements.
Integrate our complete battery of assessment and training options into a customized therapy program for patients suffering from dizziness, balance problems, and neurological challenges.
When paired with a laptop, Bertec’s highly sensitive, low profile dual-balance force plate, powered via USB, is a vital part of your clinic’s day-to-day practice. The lightweight design allows you to extend balance services beyond your clinic’s walls and into home health, bedside, and community health programs.
The Bertec Vision Advantage (BVA) system is designed to evaluate vision problems resulting from head movement that can cause or complicate balance performance.
The BVA identifies dysfunction in the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) per the Dynamic Visual Acuity Test and provides a more objective test than the standard clinical DVA test using an eye chart. The BVA also includes a Gaze Stability Test that identifies when the VOR falls below normal limits and whether there is an asymmetry between the left and right side.
These advanced capabilities allow the clinician to customize treatment to the patient, resulting in optimal patient outcomes.
The Bertec Prime IVR adds Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) to enhance clinical balance assessment and training. The immersive screen used in the Bertec CDP/IVR system is combined with a fixed dual-balance force plate. This unique product combines the flexibility of a small, force plate with the power of IVR training scenes. The Bertec Prime IVR includes a suite of assessments as well as training options to provide targeted and customized therapy depending on the needs of the patient.
The Bertec Portable Functional is a longer yet portable and highly sensitive balance force plate designed as a walkway for mobility assessment and training. The longer force plate allows the clinician to assess and train the patient on tasks that mimic daily walking, stair-stepping, and sit-to-stand activities. Easily transported, the Bertec Portable Functional is powered by USB and configured with a touchscreen laptop and wireless remote. The highly sensitive, low profile design allows easy access for your patients suffering from dizziness, balance problems, and/or motion sensitivity.
COBALT is a balance test for athletes. COBALT can be used as part of a concussion screening and management program by providing an objective measure of balance control when relying on visual, somatosensory and vestibular demands. The patented COBALT protocol includes a unique set of testing conditions that places high demands on the visual and vestibular systems that traditional static balance testing does not provide. Research shows these more difficult conditions yield sensitivity in identifying individuals with suspected concussion.
