Walking is more than leg exercise
Most walking rehabilitation devices focus on legs work while upper body’s rotational work between torso and pelvis is usually not addressed. Our Balanseat case series demonstrated that upper body work is crucial for improved walking quality and reduced risk of falls
Balanseat is a motor training device developed to help older adults to improve walking and balancing
Active-Sitting Technology
Balanseat utilizes Active-Sitting technology. It applies gentle movements to the torso, the pelvis and the thighs while the patient is seated, in order to regain rotational flexibility of the torso which may have diminished due to age or neurologic disease. It improves walking quality, balance, reduces risk of falls and improves ambulation

The Need
One in four Americans aged 65+ fall each year
Every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall
In 2014, the total cost of fall injuries in USA was $31 billion
The direct cost of fragility fractures in Europe is €31.7 billion per year, expected to rise to €76.7 billion by 2050
A growing number of older adults generate fear of falling and, as a result, limit their activities and social engagements outside of their personal home
