BBTW® Seminar – Springfield, PA

November 30, 2017

seminar-icon-113Directional balance and postural control loss is evident in the elderly, and in those with orthopedic and neurological conditions. Rehabilitation clinicians focus treatment on improving postural control. During this introductory evi­dence-based course a new assessment and treatment option called Balance-Based Torso-Weighting is offered to direct the clinician to pay attention to directional instability. Stabilizing the torso affects distal mobility in both upper and lower extremities and crosses into both PT and OT specialties. All clinicians depending on their educational level will find the information useful. The PT and OT will utilize the assessment and treatment to improve balance and daily activities as well as manage equipment for the patient. The PTA and OTA while treating the patient can assess the outcome of the weighting and relay informa­tion to the PT or OT on how the patient is responding to their specific treat­ments.

During the class the clinician will learn objective tests to determine both static and reactive control of the torso. The treatment consists of strategically weight­ing the torso to improve balance and mobility. Participants will have ample op­portunity to practice the patented assessment and strategic weighting technolo­gy using the BalanceWear Assessment Device on themselves and then volunteer patients.
