New force plate with balance & posturography software

We believe that if you’re not constantly assessing, then you’re guessing. This new equipment allows us to make more accurate diagnoses and provide a more specific level of care.

BTrackS is a computerized balance assessment tool that provides an objective, accurate and reliable measure of an individual’s postural sway. Postural Sway is a known indicator of balance ability and is commonly used in fall risk assessment. The BTrackS Balance Test (BBT) is the standard testing protocol implemented by the BTrackS Assess Balance Software.

The Fall Risk Assessment (FRA) categorizes an individual’s fall risk as either Low, Moderate or High. While this assessment is calculated for each individual – it is most useful for adults aged 60 and above, where the conse- quences of a fall are amplified do to deterioration of the body and comorbidities. The assessment is determined by comparing the individual’s BBT to the average BBT of an adult aged 20-39.
