September 14-20, 2025 is Balance Awareness Week— a time to shine a light on the millions of people living with balance challenges caused by vestibular, neurological, and orthopedic conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Stroke, Ataxia, Traumatic Brain Injury, and age-related decline.
Falls are the leading cause of injury in older adults and one of the biggest fears for those with balance disorders. But there is hope: innovative solutions like BalanceWear® are changing lives.
Motion Therapeutics Inc. (MTI) is partnering with the Vestibular Disorder Association (VeDA) to help reduce the time it takes for patients with dizziness and imbalance to get an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. [https://vestibular.org/balance-awareness-week/]
MTI provides innovative, non-invasive wearable postural control and balance stabilizing products that may help individuals with mobility and balance issues. The company’s patented BalanceWear® series of Truncal Orthosis vests and patented Balance-Based Torso-Weighting Methodology (BBTW®) was developed to help people with balance and mobility disorders by stabilizing their torso.
Why Balance Awareness Matters
- 1 in 4 adults over 65 falls each year. [https://www.cdc.gov/falls/data-research/index.html]
- Balance problems lead to loss of independence, social withdrawal, and reduced quality of life.
- Standard aids like canes and walkers may provide support but do not retrain balance itself.
How BalanceWear® Helps
BalanceWear® is a lightweight, comfortable vest custom-fit by certified clinicians using Balance-Based Torso-Weighting® (BBTW). This patented method identifies the direction of balance loss and strategically places small weights on the vest to counteract instability.
In 3 steps:
- Assessment – Clinicians test directional balance loss.
- Customization – Tiny weights are added where the body needs support.
- Retraining – Patients wear the vest during daily activities, retraining the brain and body to move with more stability.
Backed by Research
Peer-reviewed studies show BalanceWear® can:
- Reduce falls in people with MS by 35% during testing.
- Improve walking speed and mobility in Parkinson’s patients.
- Enhance stability and confidence in older adults within just days of use.
Real Stories. Real Results.
BalanceWear® users often report immediate improvements:
- “I feel grounded.”
- “I don’t have to think to move.”
- “It gave me confidence again.”
From stroke survivors running again to MS patients walking without canes, BalanceWear® is giving thousands of people freedom they thought they had lost.
Patients often describe the effect as feeling “grounded” — like their body suddenly remembers how to move naturally again.
