VertiGuard: Balance training for Long COVID symptoms
Continuous market monitoring of our products is one of the obligations imposed on us by the QM system as a certified manufacturer of hearing and balance testing devices.
You're sure to be asked in your practice about the long-term effects of a SARS-CoV-2 infection on hearing and balance. These effects have now been proven.
Meta-analyses suggest that Long COVID patients
- ~7% about balance problems,
- ~7% report hearing loss and
- ~15% about tinnitus
complain ( cf. Ibrahim Almufarrij & Kevin J. Munro (2021) One year on: an updated systematic review of SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 and audio-vestibular symptoms, International Journal of Audiology, 60:12, 935-945, DOI: 10.1080/14992027.2021.1896793 ). Despite the imprecision of such meta-studies, this gives rise to the need to investigate the effectiveness of known therapies for this patient group.
The effectiveness of the VertiGuard® System for neurofeedback balance therapy according to Prof. Ernst and Priv.Doz. Dr. Basta has therefore been intensively studied for some time. Initial results clearly show that the renowned, unsurpassed effectiveness of the VertiGuard® System also provides highly effective relief from the symptoms of this new patient group!
The relevance of this news is high: according to current figures from the employers' liability insurance associations, there are already 160,000 reported work-related accident cases, so that approximately 11,000 additional patients with balance problems can be expected from these cases alone.
We will continue to provide you with all the latest news about our VertiGuard® system and wish you continued success with your balance therapy!
