Older adults, young athletes, and post-surgical and concussion rehabilitation patients are among those who can benefit from our Balance Assessment and Conditioning program. In addition, our Fall Risk Screening and Conditioning Program helps prevent fall-related injuries before they happen.
Our physical therapists treat a variety of conditions related to pain caused by falls and can work with patients to identify and address those risk factors that can put them at a higher risk for falls.
We offer state-of-the-art assessment and safe and effective treatment using The Biodex Balance System SD to improve balance, increase agility, and develop muscle tone, to help our patients improve quality of life and safely return to play.
The system also helps our therapists identify and overcome challenges that many people face in order to improve their health and physical performance, whether pre – or post-injury. It provides objective data and provides accurate printed progress reports throughout assessment and training.
The Biodex Balance System SD has been designed to meet the needs of everyone looking to improve balance, increase agility, develop muscle tone and treat a wide variety of pathologies. The system provides a fast, accurate Fall Risk Screening and Conditioning Program for older adults and sport athletes; closed-chain, weight-bearing assessment and training for lower extremity patients, and adds the objective balance assessment component to a concussion management program.
The Biodex Balance System SD assessment for concussion management helps manage specific sports injuries and determine safe return to play.
The assessment for concussion management is used by high school, college, and professional sports teams to unravel the mystery of concussion and bring together best practices. It provides a performance baseline against which post-injury performance can be compared, aiding with return-to-play decisions.
The system also serves as a valuable training device to enhance athletic ability and help compensate for impaired proprioceptive reflex mechanisms following injury. Using this unique device, your Scerbo therapist can assess neuromuscular control as indicated by your ability to maintain dynamic bilateral and unilateral postural stability on both static and unstable surfaces.
Our Biodex Fall Risk Screening & Conditioning Program can identify potential Risk Factors in just two minutes. Those identified can be entered into the Conditioning Program to reduce the risk.
