Fostering neuroplasticity through repetition and biofeedback

World MS Day 30 May 2021

Take Therapy to New Heights with Vibrotactile...

Did You Know… To enhance spatial awareness for jet pilots, sensors were embedded into their flight suits? Since then, vibrotactile technology has been adapted to balance rehabilitation with excellent results. 

Providing real time biofeedback during rehabilitation is essential for patients and clinicians. Once integrated with the Balance System™ SD, the optional VibroTactile System offers an additional form of sensory feedback to help detect changes in postural sway. Using wireless technology, the tactile belt responds with a vibrating sensation when the patient sways outside the therapist-set parameters. Learn more...
