Quantitative assessment of the level of instability of a single-plane balance platform.

Background: Balance training on unstable surfaces is widely used in medicine and sports. The main disadvantage of balance platforms is weakly definable assessment of the level of instability (IL) they create.

Objective: To evaluate the mechanical characteristics of a suspended single-plane instability balance platform which determines quantitative instability characteristics.

Local Vibrational Therapy for Essential Tremor Reduction: A Clinical Study.

tremor is an unintentional and rhythmic movement of any part of the body that is a typical symptom of Essential Tremor (ET). ET impairs the quality of life of patients and is treated with pharmacotherapy. We investigated the tremor reduction efficacy of an innovative vibrational medical device (IMD) in ET patients.
