285: Amplifying Your Perturbation Balance Training With The Balance Tutor Treadmill

This week's episode of the I Love Neuro podcast explored an innovative rehabilitation technology that's allowing rehab professionals to incorporate multidimensional balance training in the safest, most objective way possible right now. Host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS is joined by Todd Gilbertson from MediTouch USA and Chris McElderry, PT, DPT, NCS to discuss the BalancedTutor treadmill.

Derived out of posturography technology this treadmill expands beyond assessment and actually allows clinicians to treat balance disorders to the whole spectrum of patients in a safe, effective and objective way - no jerry rigging required. As a clinician it benefits you to learn about the latest technology and equipment available, so this episode is simply to provide you with an inside peak conversation about a piece of equipment that is reducing falls and maximizing function for people with vestibular and balance disorders.

You'll learn about the functionality of the system as well as hear from Chris McElderry, a clinician who has been using it in the clinic for 5 years. He shares how the device is able to create precise, graded perturbations that help patients build confidence and improve their functional mobility.

Todd Gilbertson emphasized the technology's versatility, noting that it can simulate real-world balance challenges like walking on uneven sidewalks or navigating crowded spaces. The treadmill's advanced features include 30 intensity levels of movement and the ability to create anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral perturbations.
