Biodex Balance SD®

The Biodex Balance System SD has been designed to meet the needs of everyone looking to improve balance, increase agility, develop muscle tone and treat a wide variety of pathologies. Featuring easy-to-follow “touch-screen” operation, the Balance System SD is simple to learn and operate, leading the user step-by-step through testing protocols and training modes in both static and dynamic formats. Extremely versatile, it is the only system that provides a fast, accurate fall risk screening for older adults; closed-chain, weight-bearing assessment and training for lower extremity patients; and adds the objective balance assessment component to a concussion management program.


The Balance System SD also serves as a valuable training device to enhance kinesthetic abilities that may provide some degree of compensation for impaired proprioceptive reflex mechanisms following injury. Using this unique device, clinicians can assess neuromuscular control by quantifying the ability to maintain dynamic bilateral and unilateral postural stability on a static or unstable surface.


Features include:

  • Static and Dynamic (SD) – Offers twelve levels of platform control as well as static force setting – allows testing, training and rehabilitation programs for diverse populations.
  • Balance Training – Includes proprioception and stabilization exercise, range of motion and weight shift exercises.
  • Objective Documentation – Printed color reports track progress and document outcomes – ideal for insurance reimbursement.
  • Custom Reporting – Allows entry of unique comments to test results and assignment of CPT codes.
  • Six Training Modes and Five Testing Protocols – Standardized testing for true progress assessment.
  • Standardized Fall – Screening and Athlete Knee Injury Screening
  • Tests – Simple, quick and accurate. Test results are compared to age-based normative data to help identify fall candidates and athletes predisposed to knee injury.
  • Audio Biofeedback – Used for cueing successful target hits.
  • Visual Biofeedback – Prompts patients into proper postural and balance control.
  • Large Display – Features 12.1″ touch-screen display, powered by a Windows CE operating system.
  • Expanded Connectivity – Allows connection to larger monitors and LCD projectors to enhance interaction for visually impaired patients.
  • Adjustable Support Handles – Lock in place for safety or swing away for an unobstructed, open environment for a variety of training activities.
  • Locking Surface – Ensures safe “on and off” patient movement.
  • Ethernet Connection – Accommodates wireless printing.
  • USB Compatibility – Accommodates external keyboard, a mouse, printing devices for remote operation and USB memory devices for data transfer and software upgrades.
  • Patient Data Collection Software (optional) – Facilitates download and transfer of patient data, stored in patient folders for archiving, reporting or exporting as a CSV file. Transferring patient data allows for unlimited storage capacity.
