The Mayo Survey Research Center and Energy Balance Core uses Bertec's 3-component and computer-integrated balance plates to measure vertical force and the center of pressure in its research of static and dynamic balance as well as the limits of stability in patients.
Temple University investigated the neural control of upright balance during walking using Bertec's immersive labs technology, which immerses patients in a moving visual environment projected on a curved dome that covers almost their entire field of vision. Patient balance data was collected as they walked at their own pace on a split-belt treadmill.
The Biodynamics Laboratory in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Promotion at the University of Kentucky uses Bertec's force plates, instrumented treadmill, and (CDP) Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) in research projects and clinical applications with athletes.
We have been using Bertec’s instrumented treadmill and force plates for the past 2 years and recently added instrumented handrails. We are happy with not only the quality and reliability of Bertec’s products, but also with their staff and customer support. We will certainly continue working with Bertec as we expand the capabilities of our lab.
