5 Vestibular Physiotherapy Products For 2020
Diagnostic equipment and supplies for vestibular testing that have caught our attention
There are three types of innovation in vestibular testing technology that we keenly watch for:
1. Advancements In Technology
2. Improvements to Existing Technology
3.
New Supplies and Products
Diagnostic technology is the foundation of hearing and balance health, but supplies are just as important to support both clinicians and clients.
Here are five vestibular testing products that we’ve noticed, because they have fit into one
(or more) of these three innovation categories.
Micromedical VisualEyes VNG
Micromedical VisualEyes™ Video Nystagmograph (VNG) tests for dizziness and balance disorders through high speed binocular goggles that record horizontal and vertical eye movements. This vestibular diagnostic equipment is made by Interacoustics and designed to be as useful for clients as it is for physiotherapists.
It is simple to record and display large eye images. For the client, they can better understand how the test explains the balance challenges that they experience. For clinicians, this ability to record is ideal for both student and client education.
Personal Protective Equipment
PPE isn’t the most exciting product, but it is among the most important product of 2020. Demand has skyrocketed, so acquiring the necessary equipment has been a challenge for many clinical environments.
Even though there is not much innovation in personal protective equipment, there is an unprecedented requirement to keep clinical environments safe. Diatec Canada has sourced a dependable line of PPE, including
ear-to-ear face shields that offer protection from hair to chin. See our current selection of
personal protective equipment.
TRV Chair
The TRV Chair from Interacoustics is one part roller coaster and one part advanced diagnostic equipment. With a secure harness, leg strap, shoulder pads and head mount, the TRV chair offers comfortable tests for three-dimensional movements.
Goggles and infrared cameras monitor eye movements, and the simple controls of the chair assist the examiner to hold the client in any position for a detailed assessment of any area of the vestibular system. This chair gets a lot of attention because of its futuristic design, but the data it produces can assist in developing more effective vestibular physiotherapy treatment programs for clients.
