SwayStar™ was developed to provide a simple, rapid and highly
accurate tool for use in the examination of a patient’s stance and
gait balance capabilities especially when these are compromised by
problems that occur with ageing, vestibular loss, neurological deficits,
whiplash injuries or orthopaedic problems. During measurements the SwayStar™ unit is strapped around the waist at the level of the lumbar spine. Its sensors register angular deviations and angular velocities of the trunk, near the body’s centre of mass, in a highly sensitive manner. The level of precision (<0.01 deg/s) used is more than sufficient to register the miniature movements of the body when standing with eyes open. The system is so accurate it can measure the earth’s rotation. |

SwayStar™ is manufactured by BESTec-etp Freiburg GmbH (Breisgau Electronic Service Technologie),
Riegeler Strasse 4a, D-79111 Freiburg, Germany. There is a development and
manufacturing collaboration between Balance International Innovations GmbH and BESTec-etp GmbH.
