  • The BalanceTutor by MediTouch is a Perturbation Treadmill that is an innovative device for postural control and balance trainer. The device consists of a treadmill mounted on a moving force plate platform. The platform moves in the medial/ lateral and forward/ backward plains to simulate a slip and a trip in both the standing and walking phase.

Clinical Applications

  • BalanceTutor enables Perturbation based-Balance Training and Center of Pressure (COP) practicing to improve and retain postural control and balance ability by following methods. 6.1.1 Weight-Bearing Encouragement Weight-bearing encouragement practice can be achieved by BalanceTutor in different positions and difficulty levels. A Perturbation based Balance training and/or Center of Pressure (COP) feedback practicing can be used for Weight-bearing practicing according to patient abilities and rehabilitation needs. 6.1.2 Compensatory Step Respond BalanceTutor enables to generate several kinds of compensatory step response during the gait. There are two main compensatory responses namely crossing or side stepping which can be achieved by providing specific perturbation during swing phase of right or left leg. 6.1.3 Vestibular Rehabilitation BalanceTutor enables unique vestibular rehabilitation to improve vestibular function. Vestibular function practices such as gaze stabilization or head moving in standing or walking while the surface of support can be moved to different directions like medial/ lateral side enables special practice to vestibular system
