Balance System SD (with v4.X software) 13
1. Introduction
Intended Use
Featuring seven test protocols, six training modes and intuitive touch-screen operation, the
Balance System SD allows testing and training in both static and dynamic formats. Extremely
versatile, it is the only system that provides a balance assessment tool for concussion
management plus closed-chain, weight-bearing assessment, and training for lower extremity
patients.
Indications for Use
Using this unique device, clinicians can assess neuromuscular control by quantifying the
ability to maintain dynamic bilateral and unilateral postural stability on a static or unstable
surface.
Use any of seven test protocols including Limits of Stability, Postural Stability and Clinical Test
of Sensory Integration of Balance (CTSIB). The Balance System SD serves as a valuable training
device to enhance kinesthetic abilities that may provide some degree of compensation for
impaired proprioceptive reflex mechanisms following injury.
An easy-to-follow touch-screen format makes the system simple to learn and operate, leading
the user step-by-step through testing protocols and training modes. All test results and training
sessions are documented on easy to read 8.5" x 11" reports that can be placed into a patient’s
file. Comparisons to normative data can be made for population-specific tests.
