Balance Systems for Orthopedics NeuroCom Systems are the Gold Standard in Postural Assessment and Rehabilitation Solutions for your Orthopedic patients Preventing Injuries NeuroCom Balance Systems can play a vital role in preventing injury. Balance is an important indicator of ankle, knee and hip instability. If a patient loses balance under certain assessment conditions – as compared to normative or baseline data – it could indicate orthopedic limitations or pain. Assess knee stability: Use the Weight Bearing Squat protocol to assess knee stability throughout the full functional range of motion and identify otherwise unseen compensations that may lead to overuse injuries. Identify areas of ankle instability in weightbearing positions with the limits of Stability protocol which measures “off the block” reaction time, speed and accuracy of movement. Biofeedback: Allows the clinician and patient to Comprehensive Reports: Easy to understand clearly pinpoint problem areas for improvement. “red” and “green” reports based on normative data.

NeuroCom Balance Systems for Orthopedic Benefits NEUROCOM BALANCE SYSTEM T Objective Test Protocols MODIFIED CLINICAL TEST OF SENSORY INTERACTION ON BALANCE (mCTSIB) Patient demonstrates abnormal sway velocity on foam with eyes closed This puts the patient at risk for losses of balance in environments that require high levels of balance control using vestibular cues, and may identify the cause of the perception of instability Using this data, rehab can be targeted toward further vestibular exam (important after concussion) and advocate for further vestibular function testing if indicated...

TEST PROTOCOLS FOR ORTHOPEDIC BENEFITS Objective Test Protocols LIMITS OF STABILITY (LOS) Limits of Stability - Who Should Be Tested? • Athletes who are interested in rapid reaction responses and direction changes • Patients recovering from sports injury who are interested in regaining optimal proprioception, strength and functional use of the lower extremities Note how the end-point excursions (EPE) and maximal-excursions (MXE) are essentially equal, meaning the primary move toward the target was the same as the end distance – this indicates a high level of accuracy in movement trajectory....

NeuroCom Balance Systems Additional Objective Test Protocols SIT TO STAND (STS) The STS quantifies the patient’s ability to rise from a seated to a standing position. Key components of this task include shifting the body COG forward from an initial position over the seat to the final position over the feet. The body extends to an erect stand while maintaining the centered COG position. The measured parameters are weight transfer time, rising index (force exerted to rise), sway velocity after rising phase, and left/right symmetry of the rising force. WALK ACROSS (WA) The WA quantifies...
