K-D Balance is an FDA 510(K) cleared mobile application used by athletic trainers, physical therapists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals to assess vestibular dysfunction.
Athletic trainers, physical therapists, physicians and other health care professionals can compare a patient’s K-D Balance assessments longitudinally.
After step-by-step voice guidance for each stance, an objective balance score is automatically derived by detecting the individual’s movements using the device’s internal accelerometer.
To utilize K-D Balance, an iPhone or iPod Touch is secured to the patient with a hands-free, wearable device holder in order to provide device stabilization.
K-D Balance assesses three key balance stance metrics: double stance, right tandem stance and left tandem stance.
