For satellite locations, the optional hard-shell Travel Case provides added protection when transporting to community-based health fairs or school settings for athletics. The case fits easily into small car trunks.
• Easy to follow touch screen format – is simple to learn and operate, leading the user step-by-step through testing and interactive training protocols.
• Immediate Biofeedback – This allows the clinician to easily monitor the patient and acts to motivate the patient during interactive testing/training.
• Need. Progress. Outcome. – All test results and training sessions can be stored and printed. Comparison to normative data helps to communicate need, progress and outcome. 

Who can benefit from the Biodex BioSway?
The applications for the BioSway are extensive; here are just some of the patients who can benefit from this device. 

Older Adult – Fall Risk
Older adults can be tested for balance deficiencies, and training programs can be established to help them remain mobile or regain their mobility. The programs, while challenging and effective, have been designed to be fun and encourage compliance and success. The portability of the BioSway allows the testing and training to be done either "in-facility" or on an outpatient, home care situation.

Utilizing the CTSIB capabilities of the BioSway, clinicians can test patients and compare balance test results to normative data.

Neurological/Parkinson's and Stroke Patients

The clinician can safely assess balance and stability and begin to treat and re-train balance and gait through progressive testing and training modes. Patients are motivated with real-time biofeedback while their progress can be documented
and printed for review.

Vestibular Patients

The Clinical Test for Sensory Integration of Balance (CTSIB) test helps to differentiate which sensory system (visual, somatosensory, or vestibular) the patient relies on to maintain balance. The BioSway allows the clinician to make such evaluations and begin to accurately address deficiencies.

Post Surgical/Amputee and Post Trauma Rehabilitation

The BioSway is a valuable tool when addressing balance deficiencies in post-surgical Hip, Knee and Ankle patients, as well as Amputee patients. Balance evaluation, retraining, lower extremity strengthening and weight-shift training can speed recovery. The post surgical patients benefit from evolving difficulty of the training modes and the real-time biofeedback. The clinician benefits from ease-of-use, trackable documentation and fast results.
