BioSway Therapy
The Biodex BioSway system challenges patients to shift and control their center of gravity through interactive balance games and rehabilitative training strategies.
How does BioSway work?
The Biodex BioSway system challenges patients to shift and control their center of gravity through interactive balance games and rehabilitative training strategies.
To use the BioSway to enhance postural stability, you stand on a small, lightweight instrumented platform, facing a touchscreen. Through sensory integration, various interactive training modes, and balance games, your body will retrain itself to walk properly, improve balance, and reduce your risk of falling.
BioSway physical therapy can benefit patients with:
- A high risk of falling
- Vestibular diagnoses
- Post-trauma
- Ligament sprains
- Impaired neuromuscular control
- Parkinson’s
- Stroke
- Post-concussion recovery
- Lower extremity post-surgical recovery
- And more
This type of therapy helps patients rebuild confidence, improve stability, and move more safely in their daily lives.
How the Biodex BioSway Supports Your Recovery
At Ivy Rehab, we use the Biodex BioSway as part of a personalized, outcomes-driven approach to balance recovery. This system supports our clinicians with accurate, real-time data, making it easier to design effective therapy plans and track progress over time.
Clinical applications of the Biodex BioSway include:
- Balance assessment and training for people of all ages, including older adults.
- Fall prevention and fall risk screening in at-risk patients.
- Vestibular rehab, post-injury, and return-to-play care.
- Support for concussion management, neurological conditions, and post-surgical recovery.
- Use of CTSIB and clinical tests for sensory integration to identify specific movement patterns or strategies.
Why it works for your care:
- Uses objective balance test results and normative data, including healthy population references.
- Offers testing for interactive training modes or standardized testing environments.
- Helps clinicians track progress and provide clear test results.
- Enables objective documentation, including printed color reports ideal for care plans and insurance reimbursement.
- Designed for flexibility, conveniently portable within a facility or at community-based health fairs or school settings.
Together, these clinical applications and built-in capabilities allow your therapist to create a more precise, personalized plan that supports steady progress and safer movement.
