VertiGuard: Posturography and Balance Therapy
New Publications 2021
Two papers published in Q1/2021 underpin the leading technological position of ours VertiGuard® system. It's mobile posturography (as opposed to technologies where the patients stands on force plates) was the precondition for the first study. In the second paper, the outstanding effectiveness of the systems vibrotactile neurofeedback Balance Therapy was proven one more time!
A static sound source can improve postural stability during walking
While posturography usually explains postural control to be regulated by the visual acuity, proprioception and the balance organ, this new study shows the influence of spatial hearing. This is primarily visible during walking and therefore shows once more that posturography on force plates is no longer competitive.
This paper from Spain could show again that the effectiveness of the vibrotactile Neurofeedback with the VertiGuard® RT is superior compared to other - much more expensive - devices. Read more about the successful prevention of falls in this study on 40 patients.
Early treatment of balance deficits supports prevention of falls and their serious consequences in elderly people.
Early treatment of balance problems helps to reduce the often serious falls that occur, especially among older people!
