Our MultiMetric System
Who is it for?
Healthcare Organisations,
Why buy?
• Provides a more accurate, richer result than time-based testing alone• Uses an objective measure to confirm professional judgement based on observation, knowledge and experience
• Gives real-time feedback on balance ability in different standing positions including separate results for each leg
• Identifies balance weaknesses for tailored exercise programs Positions the practitioner as a balance expert
Tests Available
Test 1 - Eyes Open
Normal stance
The first or “normal stance” test measures the balance of a person standing still on the mat with their feet side-by-side. A score of zero indicates zero postural sway and implies the person has excellent balance.
Test 2 - Eyes Open
Tandem stance
The tandem stance test involves the person standing with one foot in front of the other, heel to toe. It tests lateral postural stability by narrowing the base of support and gives valuable information about the person’s sense of positioning, or proprioception, and motor coordination. Although many people find the stance difficult to maintain someone with excellent balance can achieve a score of zero.
Test 3 - Eyes Open
One legged – left foot
Sometimes called the Stork or Flamingo, this test requires the person to stand on their left foot on the Balance Mat. The time they can stand one-legged is an important indicator of balance ability. The dynamic graph and score give an extra and more nuanced reading.
Test 4 - Eyes Open
One legged – right foot
This test requires the person to stand on their right foot on the right footprint. The ability to measure static balance on each leg independently and compare the results is unique to the Balance Mat.

Further tests available (includes all tests from the balance mat)
Test 1 - Eyes Open
Normal stance
The first or “normal stance” test measures the balance of a person standing still on the mat with their feet side-by-side. A score of zero indicates zero postural sway and implies the person has excellent balance.
Test 2 - Eyes Closed
Normal Stance
Test 2 is the same as Test 1 but with the person’s eyes closed.
This extra functionality has been developed specifically for researchers into static balance ability and falls risk and particularly those assessing neurological conditions or the nexus between balance and certain medical conditions like Parkinson’s disease and diabetes.

Test 4 - Eyes Closed
Tandem Stance
Test 4 is a repeat of Test 3, only with the person’s eyes closed. As for Test 2, the extra eyes-closed functionality can be used by balance, falls risk and neurological researchers.
Test 5 - Eyes Open
One Legged - Left Foot
Sometimes called the Stork or Flamingo, this test requires the person to stand on their left foot on the Balance Mat. The time they can stand one-legged is an important indicator of balance ability. The dynamic graph and score give an extra and more nuanced reading.
Test 6 - Eyes Closed
One Legged - Left Foot
Test 6 is a repeat of Test 5, only with the person’s eyes closed. As for Test 2, the extra eyes-closed functionality can be used by balance, falls risk and neurological researchers.
Test 7 - Eyes open
One legged – right foot
This test requires the person to stand on their right foot on the right footprint. The ability to measure static balance on each leg independently and compare the results is unique to the Balance Mat.
Test 8 - Eyes Closed
One legged – right foot
Test 8 is a repeat of Test 7, only with the person’s eyes closed. As for Test 2, the extra eyes-closed functionality can be used by balance, falls risk and neurological researchers.
