Dizziness Balance Laboratory
The Vestibular, Balance and Dizziness Laboratory usually performs diagnostic tests, including vHIT, to assess problems with the vestibular system, balance and dizziness. The dizziness and balance laboratory uses instruments and tests to assess inner ear function and other components related to balance and spatial orientation. The aim is to diagnose and treat diseases that may cause symptoms such as dizziness and balance disorders.
Vestibular and balance rehabilitation is a specialised form of therapy for the vestibular system.Motor control (the process by which the nervous system coordinates and regulates muscle and limb movements. This includes integrating sensory information, making decisions and executing motor commands) and balance problems. It usually involves exercises and manoeuvres to improve coordination, stability and overall function of the vestibular system. Balance and vestibular rehabilitation programmes are recommended for problems such as dizziness or balance problems, and for various neurological conditions where balance is impaired. Often to improve daily activities and reduce symptoms.
Sensing Future Technologies specializes in pressure and force sensor technologies for the manufacturing of technological medical devices in the global market. With this know-how, allying pressure and force plates with visual biofeedback and virtual reality, Sensing Future has created a potent balance assessment and training tool called PhysioSensing.
PhysioSensing enables an objective evaluation of balance, allowing for the characterization of postural stability in both static and dynamic conditions across a range of sensory scenarios. Its applications include neurology, vestibular rehabilitation, orthopedics, sports medicine, geriatrics, and pediatrics. Each of the 14 assessment protocols generates a comprehensive clinical report, facilitating data collection and analysis for clinical work and research purposes. As a balance training tool, PhysioSensing offers over 30 balance exercises and games that provide instant biofeedback. These exercises allow for the training of static and dynamic balance, increasing limits of stability, weight transfer in different planes, and enhancement of motor control. Tracking each rehab session helps evaluate how well the rehabilitation is working.
