Hi Katlyn,
This is exactly one of the things I had in mind, thank you! If we end up
getting it, I'll report back.

Subject: [neuropt] Re: Reactive balance training equipment
Hi!
I just came across this last week
https://www.massrehabinc.com/ecommerce/slip-trainer.html
I wonder if this would work since it says it is to be used with a harness
system! Let me know if you get it and your clinic likes it ?

Subject: [neuropt] Reactive balance training equipment
External Email: CAUTION
Hi everyone,
The OP clinic where I treat has been approached by a donor who wants to
purchase assistive technology for our rehab team to use with our patients.
We've been discussing possible options related to reactive balance training.
I'm envisioning a slip/trip simulator or multi-directional treadmill, but most
of the options I've found online take up more space than we have available. If
we could find something with a smaller footprint, we do have an in-ceiling
harness system which would allow us to place the equipment in an area where we
could use the harness to keep patients safe.
I have an image in my head of a small-ish platform (maybe 4 ft x 4 ft?) I've
seen used in research studies that can produce reactive stepping in multiple
directions, but I can't seem to find it online. Does anyone have any
suggestions for specific products?
Thank you for your help!
Teresa
