Computerized Dynamic Posturography
AVAILBLE AT FYZICAL IN NORTH ANDOVER, MA
FYZICAL utilizes Computerized Dynamic Posturography with Immersive Virtual Reality (CDP/IVR). This technology combines immersive virtual inveironments with dual-balance force plate technology. The use of immersie virtual reality increases patient motivation, adaptability and variability, while unlocking endless training and visual assessment scenarios previously unavailable to clinicians and simply imposissible with a mechanical surround.
The advancements in technology increase the clinical value of CDP in both assessment and targeted therapy interventions, especially for patients suffering from dizziness, balance problems and/or motion sensitivity.
We also utilize Computerized dynamic posturography for our Concussion Baseline balance testing using the Concussion Balance Test (CoBalT). This test is more sensitive than the commonly used BESS test as it uses force plate technology to monitor athelete's sway and compares it to age-norm values.
