Comprehensive Balance Assessment

An individual assessment in the comfort and familiar surroundings of you own home.

The assessment incorporates an overview of a number of different systems, all of which contribute to how we move and function during everyday activities. 

Specific difficulties in daily tasks or activities will be reviewed during a comprehensive review of the neurological and physiological aspects of movement and coordination.  Issues such as getting in and out of a bed, a chair, walking, using stairs, or maintaining  balance during more challenging hobbies can all be reviewed. 

At home or in clinic.

Dizziness can be caused by a number of different issues and the assessment provided aims to differentiate between different types in order to provide the most effective treatment and advice.

The assessment will incorporate a specialist review of the balance system, with specific assessment of the peripheral and central vestibular systems, including positional testing for BPPV, videography for ocular motor signs and balance tests for functional issues.  

Concussion, vestibular hypofunction post neuritis or labyrinthitis, brain injury and vestibular migraine issues will be identified and management tailored appropriately to assist return to activities/education/sport/personal goals.

Cardiovascular screening for patterns of arrhythmia and blood pressure changes, which may contribute to dizziness, will also be tested.
