With up to 50% of senior citizens and 20-30% of all adults suffering from dizziness and thus at risk of falling, balance testing has become an increasingly important standard test for adult patients, often used alongside bone strength testing with Sunlight Omnisense for comprehensive fracture risk testing for the patient. Four Points of Reference for Informative Results
Tetrax is the only system available that measures balance at four different reference points, each yielding separate signals of
pressure fluctuations. This enables the evaluation of sway patterns
for each of the four foot parts and assessment of the interaction between them, obtaining new parameters of postural control in addition to traditional measures of stability. These balance parameters, which provide important diagnostic information for the physician and are used to calculate the fall risk index, are not
available on any other posturographic device. A wide range of
clinical studies supports the use of the device.
An Invaluable Tool for the Physician
The physician can use Tetrax to identify the underlying problems
that affect falling for the individual patient, as well as his functional capacity. Tetrax also has the ability to monitor the changes in an individual patient during the course of treatments in a quantitative
and objective way - providing a reliable method for the physician to follow up on treatment and tailor specific treatment program to the individual patient.
The device is CE approved and FDA listed.
The Tester Wizard
We take pleasure to announce that the inventor of the Tetrax
System, Prof. Reuven Kohen-Raz, has developed a program
called “Testing The Tester Wizard” in an effort to provide and
impart a more in-depth understanding of the Tetrax parameters.
In the process of taking the tests contained in this “WIZARD”, the
user will come away with a much deeper perspective, appreciation and interpretation in the meaning of the results. This will help immensely in designing an appropriate rehabilitation regime or program for the benefit of patients.
We welcome any question you may in our continuing effort to
make the Tetrax the medical device of choice in the assessment of balance and the use of the device in the recovery and rehabilitation phases.
The device is CE approved and FDA listed.
