“The majority of our patients are over the age of 70 and most have balance issues, so the Biodex Balance System SD gets a lot of use here. We like it for balance assistance and training, and find it works especially well with hip and knee replacement patients as well as those with back problems.

The display and printouts help us prove to patients that they aren't putting equal weight on one leg vs. the other and that they do, indeed, have balance problems. After an initial balance assessment, we use the system to train each patient to balance properly, which helps avoid additional back and lower extremity problems down the road - as well as decreasing their risk of falling.

Our patients love the system because they can see their progress and receive objective scores, which lets them know they are getting better or what they need to do to improve upon the last visit.

I would highly recommend the Balance System SD to other facilities - especially those working with elderly populations.”
