Neofect Smart Balance emphasises core strength and lower body stability, allowing users to practise balance and posture during real-world training scenarios. Paired with 16 Augmented Reality training games, the solution breaks the monotony of regular rehab exercises by adding in fun and sense of satisfaction. Real-time feedback (visual, auditory) also enables users to train in the right direction and to feel a sense of accomplishment.<\/p><p>The platform device is adaptable to sessions that incorporate sitting, standing, and stepping activities. Furthermore, its sturdy and spacious system design accommodates training with a wheelchair or assistive device. Clinicians can also use the platform to measure various performance metrics and evaluate the progress throughout a patient&#8217;s rehabilitation.<\/p><p>Looking for a fun and effective way to exercise leg and core muscles for improved walking outcomes?
