Balance test
It assesses vertigo and stability deficit.
The biomechanical balance test allows us to assess disorders that affect the patient’s stability while standing.
It enables the calculation of the % of static balance and the identification of stability limits in critical situations. The results also provide insight into the cause of imbalance, detecting alterations of sensory origin (vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive), as well as disturbances related to mandibular function.
This information is highly useful for guiding rehabilitation processes and helps to understand the patient’s real progress over time. In this way, it supports better decision-making regarding medical discharge and allows for the certification of sequelae with medical-legal validity in cases where the patient does not fully recover.
uXtab technology
balance assessment
Our uXtab technology uses 4D dynamic posturography techniques to evaluate the patient’s stability in different situations.
The 3 tests we perform are very fast, non-invasive, and completely harmless. With uXtab, we can analyze balance impairments of multifactorial origin, regardless of the patient’s age.
The results assess postural balance at all levels and provide objective measurements of % static and dynamic balance, offering a conclusive evaluation of the patient’s limitation to stabilize under both favorable and adverse conditions.
static equilibrium
bipedalism
This biomechanical test allows us to determine the patient’s level of static stability while standing.
During the different tests, the patient’s postural sway is recorded, and from this data the % balance compared to normal values is calculated.
In this way, it is possible to accurately assess the degree of recovery and determine the risk of falling in favorable conditions.
stability limits
critical situations
Our test also includes protocols to evaluate the limits of dynamic stability in critical situations.
We assess the patient’s response through multiple standing balance tests. The information obtained allows us to determine the maximum acceptable sway level and to calculate the quality of stabilization compared to normal values.
Both parameters objectively reflect the patient’s functional status and provide a precise measure of their ability to cope with unexpected situations and short reaction times.
sensory organization
postural control
To obtain an indication of the cause of imbalance, this biomechanical test integrates a set of sensory cancellation protocols.
These tests determine how the patient’s postural strategy is altered when the sensory inputs involved in controlling and adjusting body position are removed. In this way, we can detect sensory interferences or mandibular disturbances that may affect balance and stability.
The results provide a reliable indicator of the patient’s ability to cope with specific situations: dark environments, uneven terrain, moving surfaces…
Who is it for?
frequent cases
In our laboratories, we treat patients with a wide range of balance and stability disorders.
We regularly assess patients with vertigo resulting from whiplash injuries, neurological conditions, sequelae from traumatic brain injuries, as well as individuals experiencing functional decline in older age.
