- VAT®
Vestibular Autorotation Test(VAT®)was developed as a method of
evaluating the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR).
* High frequency (2-6 Hz) VOR test ( range of normal everyday
locomotion )
* Active head rotation
* 18 second test
* Tests both the horizontal and vertical canals
* Comfortable - * Portable - * Report Writer

VARIOAIR CALLORIC IRRIGATOR
Varioair is used for
"dry" thermal examination of the vestibularis organ by means
of air. Special features are an extremely precise temperature control
and an exact dosage of the air flow; with unchanged stimulation period,
a constant level of the transmitted thermal energy is guaranteed.
Therefore high reproductivity is achieved, making the Varioair
most suitable for use in all medical ranges where, for medical reasons,
water cannot be used as stimulating medium or in rooms with no water
connection. Stimulation period can be preset
from 1 to 99 seconds and air temperature may be adjusted to values
between 20°C and 47°C.
Balance Therapy System
·
High Resolution Color Touch-Screen LCD Display – easy to see and use
·
Visual Biofeedback – real-time biofeedback prompts patients into proper postural
and balance control
·
Five Training Modes and Four Protocols – for extreme versatility
·
Interactive Game-Like Balance Training – increases patient interaction and compliance
·
Standardized Fall Screening and Athlete Knee
Injury Screening Tests – simple, quick
and accurate. Test results are compared to age- and
gender-dependent normative data to help identify fall candidates and
athletes predisposed to knee injury.
·
Twelve Levels of Platform Control as well as
Static Force settings – allows
testing, training and rehabilitation programs for diverse populations
·
Balance Training includes – proprioception and stabilization exercise,
range of motion and weight shift exercises
·
Objective Documentation – printer color reports track progress and document
outcomes – ideal for insurance reimbursement
·
Data Storage –
store more than 1000 tests for later recall or data export
·
Data Export – serial
interface allows download of patient data to computer for archiving,
reporting or export as a CSV file
·
Locking Surface –
ensures safe “on and off” patient movement
·
Adjustable Support Handle – locks in place for safety or swings away for an
unobstructed open environment allowing a variety of training activities
·
Mobility – transport
wheels allow easy relocation between the clinic and community-based
fall screening programs and health fairs
Featuring
four test protocols, five training modes and intuitive “touch-screen” operation, the Balance System SD allows testing and training
in both static and dynamic formats. Extremely versatile, it is the only
system that provides fast, accurate Fall Risk Assessment and
Conditioning for older adults plus closed-chain, weight-bearing
assessment and training for lower extremity patients.
Using
this unique device, clinicians can assess neuromuscular control by
quantifying the ability to maintain dynamic bilateral and unilateral
postural stability on a static or unstable surface. Use any of four
test protocols including fall risk, athletic single leg stability,
limits of stability and postural stability. The Balance System SD also
serves as a valuable training device to enhance kinesthetic abilities
that may provide some degree of compensation for impaired
proprioceptive reflex mechanisms following injury.
An
easy-to-follow touch-screen format makes the system simple to learn and
operate, leading the user step-by-step through testing protocols and
training modes. All test results and training sessions are documented
on easy-to-read 8.5" x 11" reports which can be placed into
the patient's file. Comparisons to normative data can be made for
population-specific tests using the Fall Screening and Athlete Single
Leg Stability protocols.

FIVE INTERACTIVE TRAINING MODES: STATIC AND DYNAMIC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Postural
Stability Training
Emphasize specific movement
patterns or strategies by placing
markers anywhere on the screen.
Score reflects how many times
a target is hit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maze
Control Training
This defined movement pattern
encourages proprioception
and motor control. Add or
subtract sections to vary
the challenge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Weight
Shift Training
Patients are challenged to shift
and control their center of gravity
within two parallel lines. Changing
the width of the lines controls
the degree of difficulty. Score is
kept to track progress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Random
Control Training
An undefined movement
pattern where the patient is
challenged to keep pace with
a moving target. Target size
and movement speed can be
varied to match skill level. Ideal
for motor control and vestibular
training.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Limits
of Stability Training
Challenges the patient’s
balance within their sway
envelope.
