Device description
The Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP ) system is a clinical balance assessment device that collects and analyzes force and moment data from a balance plate. The balance plate is seated in a dynamic chassis that can move in both translational and rotational directions, under control of the Balance Advantage (BA) software program. The BA software contains both assessment and training modules that can be used during each session. Assessments have set run-times during which they collect data after the “Start” button is pressed, while trainings have customizable run-times varying from 1 minute to 15 minutes. The system is intended to be used by trained clinicians in a hospital or clinical (physical therapy or ENT) environment who operate the software and ensure the safety of the patient. The patient being assessed on the system is placed in a harness. There are three different harness sizes with varying weight limits that can be purchase with the system; standard harness supports up to 300lbs, pediatric is up to 100lbs, and the bariatric supports up to 450lbs. The mechanical components of the system are designed to support up to 500lb patients.
A device that is a component of a balance/mobility management system equipped with built-in sensors, transducer and/or force plates that register movement of the patient when he/she adjusts his/her centre of gravity (COG) alignment according to the doctor's instructions, or, the platform provokes destabilizing perturbations and the output of these movements are measured and recorded to the system computer. It is used, e.g., for motor control test (MCT), posture studies, balance, mobility training, and/or sense of equilibrium studies. The patient will stand on this device.
