Balance Therapy With Advanced Technology in Oak Brook, IL

Whether caused by vestibular dysfunction, neurological conditions, post-surgical weakness, or age-related changes, balance disorders significantly impact quality of life. Traditional approaches often rely on subjective observations, but advanced balance technology provides objective data that transforms how FYZICAL therapists assess and treat stability issues.

Cutting-Edge Technologies That Set Us Apart

FYZICAL Oak Brook features innovative balance technologies designed to accelerate your recovery and reduce fall risk:

• Safety overhead system (SOS): SOS rails provide unparalleled protection during balance training. Our overhead support system can hold up to 500 pounds, completely eliminating the risk of falling while you practice challenging movements and build confidence.
• Shuttle balance system: This dynamic platform challenges your stability in controlled, progressive ways, helping retrain your body’s balance responses through targeted exercises tailored to your skill level.
• Infrared video-oculography (IVOG) goggles: These specialized goggles allow our therapists to assess eye movements and vestibular function with precision, identifying issues that may be causing dizziness or visual disturbances during movement.
• Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP): This advanced diagnostic system measures how well your visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems work together, providing detailed data that guides your personalized treatment plan.

Walking patterns directly influence balance and fall risk. FYZICAL therapists analyze your gait to identify stride length asymmetries, reduced push-off power, narrow base of support, or compensatory movements that increase instability. Vestibular rehab in Oak Brook often incorporates gait training, as walking requires coordination between visual input, inner ear function, and proprioceptive feedback.

Our gait training programs utilize the Safety Overhead System, which allows patients to practice challenging walking tasks without fear of falling. This harness system provides just enough support to ensure safety while permitting natural movement patterns. Patients progress from basic forward walking to obstacle negotiation, turning, and dual-task challenges that replicate real-world demands.
