Balance retraining includes a variety of approaches to improve stability and decrease fall risks. Good Shepherd’s program focuses on education and coaching, strengthening of key muscle groups and integrating the function of all three balance systems — vision, sensory and vestibular.
What is the Bertec Balance Advantage™ System?
The Bertec Balance Advantage™ system uses virtual reality to evaluate and treat people with sensory processing disorders and brain injuries. Patients perform a series of exercises that challenge them to maintain balance on a moving floor while watching a virtual scene. The computerized system can incrementally step up the challenge to gradually retrain the brain to overcome balance disorders.
