What Is The Biodex Balance Machine?
The Biodex Balance machine at Repsher Physical Therapy is a valuable training tool for anyone who is looking to improve their agility, balance, and develop muscle tone. The machine features easy-to-follow on screen instructions, and is fairly simple to operate. It leads you through tests and training modules, and can perform accurate Fall Risk Screenings for older patients.
According to the Biodex website, “Balance retraining exercises are designed to steady a patient while walking or standing through improvements in coordination of muscle responses and organization of sensory information. Static and dynamic tests are administered to gauge a patient’s balance – objective reporting and comparisons to normative data aid in the development of individual exercise plans.”
What Conditions Can Biodex Balance Treat?
The Biodex Balance machine can help treat a variety of conditions, including the following:
Fall risk screening and conditioning
Balance training for seniors and unsteady patients
Neurorehabilitation for patients recovering from a stroke or dealing with Parkinson’s
Vestibular disorders
Sports medicine/orthopedic management
Concussions
The Biodex Balance system is able to detect areas of weakness and challenges patients to improve. It also provides interactive games that stimulate and motivate postural improvements while challenging both cognitive and motor function.
Your physical therapist will do a full assessment of your balance at your initial appointment and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan will incorporate the use of the Biodex Balance system and provide detailed insights into your progress and outcomes.
