BalanceWear® for Multiple Sclerosis: Improve Stability & Mobility

Living with Multiple Sclerosis and Balance Challenges

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can affect mobility, coordination, and balance due to damage in the central nervous system. Many people living with MS experience:

• Frequent dizziness or unsteadiness when walking
• Difficulty standing for long periods without support
• Increased fall risk when moving around the home or in the community
• Reduced confidence in everyday activities

Traditional aids like canes and walkers provide support, but they don’t actually improve balance itself. That’s where BalanceWear® comes in.

 

What is BalanceWear®?

BalanceWear® is a lightweight, wearable vest designed to help people with MS and other neurological conditions regain postural control.

• How it works: Using the patented Balance-Based Torso-Weighting® (BBTW®) method, small weights are strategically placed on the vest to counteract your specific balance deficits.
• Who provides it: Certified clinicians assess your directional balance loss and customize the vest for you.
• What patients feel: Many report feeling more stable, more confident, and more in control—often within the very first session.

 

Research-Backed Benefits for People with MS

Clinical studies have shown that BalanceWear® can make a measurable difference for people with Multiple Sclerosis:

• Improved Walking Speed: A randomized clinical trial found that people with MS increased their gait velocity on the timed 25-foot walk after wearing BalanceWear®.
• Reduced Falls: Research demonstrated a 35% reduction in falls during the Sensory Organization Test for MS patients after BalanceWear® was applied.
• Better Mobility Scores: Studies show improvements in Timed Up & Go (TUG) and Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) scores with consistent BalanceWear® use.
• Patient-reported outcomes: Many individuals describe immediate changes such as “I feel grounded” and “I don’t have to think to move.”

 

Why Choose BalanceWear® Over Traditional Aids?

• ✅ Addresses the cause of imbalance — improves stability at the trunk, not just support during walking
• ✅ Lightweight & comfortable — unlike rigid braces or heavy devices
• ✅ Custom-fit solution — each vest is tailored to your unique balance deficits
• ✅ Worn daily for functional improvement — integrates into normal routines like walking, cooking, or therapy

 

Real Story: MS Patient Experience

One woman with MS who struggled with dizziness, fatigue, and instability noticed immediate improvements during her first BalanceWear® fitting. She reported:

“I don’t have to think to move—this is how I’m supposed to feel.”

Over time, she regained confidence, improved her walking ability, and significantly reduced her fall risk.

 

Is BalanceWear® Right for You?

BalanceWear® may be a good option if you or a loved one with MS are:

• Struggling with frequent falls or near-falls
• Feeling unstable when standing or walking
• Losing independence in daily activities
• Wanting to reduce reliance on canes or walkers

A trained BalanceWear® clinician can perform an assessment to determine if the vest can help improve your mobility and stability.
