Basic Balance Master
The Basic Balance Master is a portable human balance evaluation system that allows a researcher to:
(1) Assess functional limitations in terms of balance control under various conditions.
(2) Identify and quantify sensory and motor impairments that may adversely affect balance.
(3) Develop efficient clinical pathways and effective treatment/training programs to improve balance stability.
(4) Monitor patient progress following an accident of illness that could adversely affected balance.
(5) Document functional outcomes following training or medical treatment.
The OSE laboratory uses the Basic Balance Master to study occupational accidents involving falls from elevation. The types of accidents are prevalent in the U.S. construction industry.
