Balance/Mobility Program

Biodex Medical Systems has introduced a new Balance and Mobility Program for older adults in senior care settings. The Biodex Balance System SD identifies likely fall candidates before the fall occurs. After identification, the candidate is encouraged to enter your facility’s fall program, following the Biodex protocol. The Balance System SD is simple to learn and operate, leading the user step by step through training modes that help restore the strength and balance that is essential for mobility.
