A New Way of Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation Therapy

A New Way of Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation Therapy

You may never need to tightrope status.

You maintain your balance through a complex interplay between your eyes, inner ear and what is called somato keep you upright.

If any part of the balance system doesn’t function properly, you may develop what is known as a balance disorder. Typical sympto the seat. Others may take short steps or shuffle their feet because long steps can throw off their balance.

Our clinic uses an advanced technology called C.A.R.E.N to a balance disorder.


Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation Therapy with C.A.R.E.N

C.A.R.E.N can be used tors and therapists with objective measures of your performance and improvement. As you play specialized exercise games on the platform in the virtual reality environment, you will improve your postural stability and balance control.

In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.

Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.

The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
