Dynamic Balance Training | THERA-Trainer Balo 536

Regaining stability and the ability to stand firmly is the heart of rehabilitation for neurological patients and the elderly. At Pyong Rehabilitation, we offer innovations that transform boring standing exercises into a challenging and safe performance-enhancing experience.

What is Balo

The THERA-Trainer Balo 536 is a world-class balance training robot from Germany. It is designed to assist with both static and dynamic balance training. Its key highlight is the “Patented Balance Unit,” which allows patients to move their bodies in a 360-degree range while standing on the machine, closely mimicking real-life daily situations.

Why choose Pyong Rehabilitation

At Pyong Rehabilitation, we provide more than just modern equipment; we focus on Intensive Neuro-Rehabilitation:

• Technology Integration: We use Balo in conjunction with THERA-soft software to create a gamified training experience.
• Measurable Results: The Biofeedback system displays the patient’s center of gravity in real-time and records training results as PDFs for detailed recovery trend analysis.
• Specialized Expertise: We design personalized programs specifically for stroke patients, Parkinson’s patients, and the elderly.

How does Balo work

The principle of Balo focuses on creating a “Dynamic but Fall-safe” environment:

• Support System: Features finely adjustable pelvic and knee supports to ensure patients stand in the correct anatomical posture.
• Adjustable Resistance: Balance resistance can be adjusted across 6 levels to strengthen core muscles.
• Electric Lift System: Directly assists in lifting patients from a wheelchair to a standing position without manual effort, reducing risk and increasing convenience.

Treatment and Training Steps

1. Transfer: Patients are assisted onto the machine using a smooth and safe Electric Lift system.
2. Positioning: Physiotherapists adjust the knee and pelvic supports to fit the patient’s physique.
3. Training Mode Selection: Use THERA-soft to select games or training modes, such as weight shifting or reaching.
4. Interactive Training: Patients move their bodies to control characters in on-screen games, providing task-oriented training.
5. Evaluation: The system summarizes training results for physiotherapists and doctors to adjust the treatment plan.

Who is Balo suitable for

• Stroke Patients: For balance and gait training during the critical “Golden Period.”
• Parkinson’s Patients: Focuses on reactive balance training and reducing rigidity.
• Geriatric Patients: For proactive fall prevention and increasing bone strength.
• Neurodegenerative Diseases: Such as Alzheimer’s, which requires brain stimulation through movement.

Symptoms that Balo can help rehabilitate:

• Severe Muscle Weakness: The machine supports up to 140 kg and includes a full support system.
• Balance Impairment: Difficulty standing still or maintaining balance while moving.
• Trunk Instability: Lack of coordination in core muscle function.
• Spasticity: Dynamic training on Balo helps reduce spasticity more effectively than traditional static standing.
• Fear of Falling: Increases movement confidence under the highest safety standards.
