“We use the (Biodex) Balance System with a number of different types of patients. One of my favorite types is the stroke patient. It gives them immediate feedback on affected-side weight bearing. It is also very helpful in rehabilitating patients with Parkinson's disease, who have a tendency of falling backwards without sensing their risky stance. The Balance System can show them feedback that emphasizes that fall risk. But they also can use the machine to practice getting their weight forward on their toes, and being able to control their balance and their center of gravity in ways that they may have been too afraid to attempt prior to Balance System training.”
