The BTrackS Balance System is an advanced, research-grade technology used to objectively measure balance, stability, and postural control. Unlike simple balance tests, BTrackS provides precise data on how well a person maintains stability under different conditions, making it an invaluable tool for assessing fall risk, concussion recovery, and neurological function.
The system uses a highly sensitive force plate to track shifts in body weight and center of gravity. This data is analyzed and compared to normative databases, providing clear insight into an individual’s balance performance.
Balance is a window into how the brain, inner ear (vestibular system), eyes, and body work together. Impaired balance can indicate problems in sensory integration, neurological function, or musculoskeletal stability. Even subtle deficits may increase the risk of falls, injuries, or poor athletic performance.
By measuring balance with BTrackS, we can:
In a functional medicine context, balance testing adds an important objective metric to whole-body health. Balance is not just about avoiding falls — it reflects underlying neurological, musculoskeletal, and metabolic health.
Identify hidden imbalances contributing to fatigue, dizziness, or instability
Monitor improvement during integrative care programs
Provide objective progress tracking for patients recovering from injury or illness
Support fall-prevention programs for older adults
Optimize performance for athletes and active individuals
Within Applied Functional Neurology, balance testing is essential. The brain’s ability to process sensory input and maintain postural stability is a cornerstone of neurological health. The BTrackS Balance System allows us to measure these processes in real time and tailor rehabilitation accordingly.
How BTrackS Supports Neurological Care
Concussion & TBI recovery – provides objective markers to track healing and readiness to return to activity.
Vestibular & inner ear disorders – identifies patterns of dizziness, vertigo, or imbalance.
Cerebellar & sensory integration training – measures how effectively the brain coordinates posture and movement.
Neurodegenerative monitoring – detects subtle changes in balance linked to Parkinson’s, MS, or aging-related decline.
Functional neurology therapy integration – guides individualized brain-based rehab exercises, targeting specific deficits revealed by testing.
Neurological Conditions That May Benefit
Post-concussion syndrome
Vestibular dysfunction (dizziness, vertigo, balance issues)
Stroke and brain injury recovery
Neurological disorders affecting gait and coordination
Age-related balance decline and fall risk
Athletes seeking peak performance and injury prevention
A BTrackS assessment is quick, safe, and non-invasive. Patients stand on the balance plate while simple tests are performed (such as standing with eyes open or closed). The system records even the smallest postural adjustments, creating a detailed report of balance ability compared to age- and gender-matched norms.
Results are reviewed in real-time and used to design personalized treatment and rehabilitation strategies, especially when integrated into a broader functional neurology program.
