Some of the tests assess multiple areas. For
example, information about the interrelationship of your visual,
inner ear, and muscle and joint functions may be obtained by using
CDP (Computer Dynamic Posturography) Other tests assess individual
parts of your balance system. We may use VENG (Video Electronystagmography)
to record and analyze eye movements to help us evaluate inner
ear function. Our team would also do a hearing test to check for
hearing loss. In order to get information about your muscles and
joints we test your flexibility, strength, and total functional
abilities. Your Primary care physician will always be notified
of test results to ensure continuity of care during and after
completion of our program.
Our fall prevention treatment and rehabilitation programs
take into account your medical condition, lifestyle, and individual
needs. Prescribed therapy often includes exercises or physical
therapy to improve your balance and decrease your chances of falling.
