Biodex Biosway,a fixed platform, portable balance assessment and training device

Applications

SIX INTERACTIVE TRAINING MODES
Featuring both Static and Dynamic capabilities. Colour printer included:

	Postural stability training Emphasise specific movement patterns or strategies by placing markers anywhere on the screen. Score reflects how many times a target is hit.
	Weight shift training Patients are challenged to shift and control their centre of gravity within two parallel lines. Changing the width of the lines controls the degree of difficulty. Score is kept to track progress.
	Maze control training This defined movement pattern encourages proprioception and motor control. Add or subtract sections to vary the challenge.
	Random control training An undefined movement pattern where the patient is challenged to keep pace with a moving target. Target size and movement speed can be varied to match skill level. Ideal for motor
	Limits of stability training Challenges the patient’s balance within their sway envelope.
	Percentage weight-bearing training This training mode provides real time feedback of the patient's percentage of weight they are bearing on their foot, ankle, knee leg, hip, body side, etc.

Features

Fully Portable
The optional hard shell "wheelie board" case provides convenience and protection when relocating the BioSway between locations, such as community-based fall screening programmes, and in-home health care.
Easy to follow
The easy to follow touch screen format – is simple to learn and operate, leading the user step-by-step through testing and interactive training protocols.
Immediate Biofeedback
All test results and training sessions can be stored and printed. Comparison to normative data helps to communicate need, progress and outcome.5

Who can benefit from Biodex Biosway?

Seniors
Older adults can be tested for balance deficiencies, and training programs can be established to help them remain mobile or regain their mobility. The programmes, while challenging and effective, have been designed to be fun and encourage compliance and success. The portability of the BioSway allows the testing and training to be done either "in-facility" or on an outpatient, home care situation.
Fall Risk test
Utilising the CTSIB capabilities of the BioSway, clinicians can test patients and compare balance test results to normative data.
Neurological/Parkinson’s and Stroke Patients
The clinician can safely assess balance and stability and begin to treat and re-train balance and gait through progressive testing and training modes.
Vestibular Patients
The Clinical Test for Sensory Integration of Balance (CTSIB) test helps to differentiate which sensory system (visual, somatosensory, or vestibular) the patient relies on to maintain balance.
Post Surgical/Amputee and Post Trauma Rehabilitation
The BioSway is a valuable tool when addressing balance deficiencies in post-surgical Hip, Knee and Ankle patients, as well as Amputee patients. Balance evaluation, retraining, lower extremity strengthening and weight-shift training can speed recovery.
