The Biodex FreeSway Handles revolutionize meeting multiple clinical needs with a single tool by offering a comprehensive range of features tailored to enhance balance training and fall risk screening protocols.
They provide unprecedented control over platform movements, offering 12 levels of adjustability alongside static force settings, ensuring precise customization for each patient’s needs, whether focusing on proprioception, stabilization, range of motion, or weight shift exercises during balance training sessions.
Additionally, the Biodex FreeSway Handles include a Fall Risk Screening Test Protocol, enabling standardized assessments against age-dependent normative data. Coupled with intuitive software and a larger touchscreen display, clinicians can effortlessly navigate through protocols and record patient data in the Microsoft SQL Database, facilitating seamless storage and retrieval of patient information and enabling easy export to Excel® for comprehensive reporting and analytics.
Objective documentation is streamlined through printed color reports, facilitating insurance reimbursement by demonstrating the necessity of interventions and tracking patient progress over time. Custom reporting features allow clinicians to add unique comments to test results and assign relevant CPT codes as needed.
For concussion management, the Biodex FreeSway system offers a specialized protocol utilizing the modified Clinical Test for Sensory Integration of Balance (mCTSIB), comparing results to age-dependent normative data. Audio/visual biofeedback and balance-enhancing games further engage patients, while Vibrotactile Feedback provides enhanced sensory cues for improved balance control.
The addition of Biodex FreeSway Handles enhances patient security without obstructing balance recovery, offering adjustable support that clinicians can easily remove or interchange with other handle options. Combined with locking surface mechanisms and transport wheels for enhanced mobility, the Biodex FreeSway system becomes an indispensable tool for both clinic-based interventions and community outreach programs aimed at fall prevention and health promotion.
