Balance Training in Edinboro, PA

Play a smarter game every day.

Our facility is always ready to provide our community's student-athletes with a balance assessment that can be compared against baseline tests, if available, or age-related norms.

A balance assessment is always a valuable step to take when the safety of an athlete is concerned. 

 

There is growing awareness of the need to provide enhanced concussion management for young athletes. Research has identified balance as one of the three assessment pillars, along with standardized cognitive assessment and a symptoms checklist for making safe return-to-play decisions following a head injury event.
 
Our medical facility is offering the community a series of balance assessment clinics. We will be utilizing our NeuroCom® balance technology to establish a reliable baseline of an athlete's balance function. Taking this step prior to potential injuries creates an invaluable reference point for measuring injury impact. This data provides objective information about a player's balance performance to help clinicians make safe return-to-play decision.
Primary benefits of a baseline assessment:
  • Objective data for safer return-to-play decisions
  • A clear picture of what is "normal" for each athlete
  • Improved athlete safety
