Hands On Lab Scheduled for ReLive Rehab Group, Wichita Kansas

May 8, 2014

People with neurological problems such as TBI, cerebral palsy, down syndrome and ataxia often have balance and mobility challenges. Motion Therapeutics has developed a unique and effective system to assess and treat these balance problems called Balance-Based Torso-Weighting (BBTW®).

During BBTW a clinician determines the directional loss of balance in static and dynamic tests. These classes teach clinicians the assessment and strategic weighting to improve directional loss of balance immediately during the same treatment.

Participants will have ample opportunity to practice the patented assessment and strategic weighting technology using the BalanceWear assessment device.

Location of Hands On Lab:

ReLive Rehab Group
2020 N Tyler Rd, Ste #112
Wichita, KS 67212
