DEVICE

Body weight support system with balance perturbations

Participants will complete the physical therapy exercises as described previously, while experiencing intermittent, therapist induced, balance perturbations aimed at training the participant's balance-control and balance-reactions. With the ZeroG BWSS integrated TRiP module, therapist's are able to induce safe lateral, anterior, or posterior perturbations via a Wi-Fi-enabled handheld device. The force, or level, of perturbation can be adjusted from 1 (least amount of force) up to 10 (highest amount of force) using the same handheld device,
