Research Validated Systems
According to Brenton-Rule, et. al., using one of our automated systems reduces the rater error, 'due to postural sway values being captured by the measuring system and not the examiner, rater error and bias, which may be present in non-computerized tools, such as the swaymeter, was minimized'1.
