Interactive CatCh Game for Balance training

The CATCH game offers various progressive skill levels to promote interaction and help keep patients engaged. CATCH also offers the ability to create a custom protocol geared toward specific training activities.

Prove Need. Progress. Outcome – All test results andtraining sessions can be stored and printed. Comparison tonormative data helps communicate need, progress and outcome.

Fall risk screening and ConditioningWith the Balance System SD, Biodex includes a comprehensiveFall Risk Screening and Conditioning Program and Protocol tohelp the clinician begin a Fall Program. This is an excellent tool in the growing field of Fall Prevention. The Biodex Fall RiskScreening & Conditioning Program includes the marketingsupport to assist with community outreach at senior centers andother events to build awareness and expand patient base.

sports MedicineA great resource for any clinic when addressing sports-relatedinjuries and surgical rehabilitation. Help athletes performbetter by demonstrating functional deficits. The BiodexBalance System documents weakness and challenges patientsto improve. The various test modes evaluate the athlete in astatic or dynamic environment, then generates objectivedocumentation of the results. Reports include standarddeviations of target performance, the percentage of time anathlete stays in a particular quadrant and then comparesperformance to normative data, built into the system. This

allows the objective measures of the athlete to be trained, and then easilyreevaluated and assessed to quantify improvement.

senior rehabThe Balance System SD is part of theBalance & Mobility product series foraddressing age-related diseases.Tackling the needs of the older adultrequires understanding of thecomplex physiology of thispopulation segment. The BalanceSystem SD increases mobility,addresses fall risk, improves balance,develops muscle tone and increasesagility. Many centers routinelybalance-screen all elderly admitted forany rehabilitation because the elderlysuffer degradation of balance just byconvalescing in a hospital bed for afew days. Biodex works with leadingrehabilitation centers around thecountry to increase awareness as wellas provide the tools necessary toaddress these particular challenges.

The Balance System SD provides theClinical Test of Sensory Integration ofBalance (mCTSIB), the acceptedstandardized assessment that identifies and tracks disturbances in gait, balancedysfunction and vestibular issues post-concussion. Detailed summary andprogress reports track recovery and provide quantitative data to aid clinicians inmaking proper return-to-play decisions.

In practice, theBalance System can capture,quantify and document a patient’srelative tendency to overcompensateto one side or the other. Thisinformation can often determine atrue course of treatment.

� CTSIB Indexed Pad(included) – standardizes footpositioning for improvedconsistency and result comparisons.

� Safety Step Stool(optional) – the non-slipsurface assures stability andpatient safety.

� mCtSIB - The mCTSIB testhelps determine which sensory system(visual, somatosensory, or vestibular)the patient relies on to maintain balance.

� PRoGReSS RePoRt SCReenGraphs overall stability scores for each test date.Recall patients from the database to repeat testsor rehab sessions. Prior foot position is displayedfor standardization.

� LIMITS OF STABILITYTRAINING – Challenges thepatient’s balance within their sway envelope. Progressivelyincrease sway envelope over time.

� POSTURAL STABILITYTRAINING – Emphasize specificmovement patterns or strategies byplacing markers anywhere on thescreen. Score reflects how manytimes a target is hit.

� WEIGHT SHIFT TRAINING -Patients are challenged to shift andcontrol their center of gravitywithin two parallel lines, in themedial lateral, anterior posteriorand transverse planes of movement.Changing the width of the linescontrols the degree of difficulty.Score is kept to track progress.

� MAZE CONTROL TRAINING– This defined movement patternencourages proprioception andmotor control. Add or subtractsections to vary the challenge.

� RANDOM CONTROLTRAINING – An undefinedmovement pattern where thepatient is challenged to keep pacewith a moving target. Target sizeand movement speed can be variedto match skill level. Ideal for motorcontrol and vestibular training.

� PERCENT WEIGHT-BEARING TRAINING – Targetzones change color when within %weight bearing targets.

Six interactive training ModeS: Static and dynaMic

Supports USB keyboard inall screens for entering textand numerics.

What they are saying in the field...

“...from geriatric to professional athlete”

“I have used the Biodex Balance System fortwo years with a wide variety of patientsranging from geriatrics to professional

athletes. It is a greatresource to have in theclinic when dealingwith hip, knee, andankle dysfunctionpatients, and isespecially beneficial

with the athletic population.

Lance Kelly MPT, ATCHughston RehabilitationHughston Clinic, P.C.Columbus, GA

Parkinson’s disease Patients“I've had good success with my BiodexBalance System. I've been using it withpatients that have Parkinson's Disease andbalance has improved in 60% of the cases.

I put patients on the Balance System priorto using any other intervention (includingtherapeutic exercises, transfer training andgait training.) Thepatients performboth LOS anddynamic trainingduring each session.Sessions arescheduled for thesame time each visitto account formedication schedules.

The objective results provided by theBalance System encourages patients byproviding feedback they can easilyunderstand. Even more important, thesepatients are noticing significantimprovement in functional balance athome. I would certainly recommend thissystem to other clinics whose clientelesuffer from Parkinson's Disease.”
