After a long journey of new developments and software improvements, PhysioSensing Balance Software’22 is now available.
After 10 years of development and experience, PhysioSensing Balance Software’22 is now a powerful balance software analysis tool. We are updating it to all our clients.
In this version, you can find:
- All protocols, exercises and games interfaces are redesigned, accordingly to the main
Standing on one leg is an essential task in activities of daily living (ADLs), from walking to stair climbing, shower transfer and lower body dressing (while standing). Besides that, it is necessary in many occupational and sports activities, making it an important stance to be included within a balance assessment session. One-leg stance duration is one the oldest balance tests using a simple stopwatch [1].
In PhysioSensing Balance software there is a similar test namedUnilateral Stan
The Limits of Stability (LOS) is perhaps the most used protocol in the literature for balance assessment in a dynamic task. It quantifies the ability to intentionally displace the center of gravity to the patient’s stability limits without losing balance. This protocol provides information regarding voluntary motor control, which also helps screening fall risk in elderly people [1].

This protocol measures several movement c
- What is it?
Posturography is a non-evasive technique that quantifies an individual’s balance behavior in upright stance. As mentioned in previous articles (What is Balance?), balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems, which includes the visual, somatosensory and vestibular systems. It is through their integration in real time by the central nerv
- A look at the Sit-to-Stand protocol
The Sit-to-Stand (STS) is a well-known test to quantify the ability of the patient to lift from a sitting position to a standing position. The STS maneuver is mainly used to assess lower limb strength, balance and also fall risk in elderly people [1].
There are several variations of the STS test, such as the five-repetition STS test (FRSTST) which report the amount of time it took to do the repetitions or the
