For individuals with medical conditions like neuromuscular, orthopedic, inner ear and developmental dysfunctions, as well as those recovering from stroke, head, spinal and sports injuries the ability to balance may be difficult.
Based on core technologies used by NASA to measure the equilibrium of Space Shuttle astronauts on returning from orbit, the Balance and Mobility Clinic at the Alegent Health Immanuel Rehabilitation Center uses technology to guide patients through a comprehensive treatment program to increase their balance and help prevent falls.
By using computer images, therapists can perform an assessment, develop an individualized treatment plan designed to address each patient's specific problems, and follow the patient's progress.
