There is a need for a faster, simpler and more cost-effective method of measuring postural sway. Normal postural control is the ability to maintain the body's position and centre of gravity in space for stability and orientation. Normal static balance is the ability to stand still, utilising postural control to minimise postural sway and instability. This utilises a wide range of skills which requires the dynamic interaction of neural and musculoskeletal systems. The analysis of postural sway is utilised in a variety of clinical assessments.The team at Balance Mat are committed to bringing a fast, simple and affordable tool for balance measurement to life. We can see the potential for this to change the future of clinical balance analysis.Balance Mat technology utilises an optical fibre sensor system to measure variations in force applied to the surface of a mat. The Balance Mat has been granted an Australian Patent, with patents pending in Singapore, USA, EU, UK, New Zealand and Japan. It is being developed to be portable and affordable, as well as fast and simple to use.
