Postural Bench

Postural Bench is an innovative system for postural assessment and rehabilitation. Equipped with a sophisticated net of sensors the Postural Bench system allows to determine the tensions of the rear muscles chain in a very precise way. The software is easy and inductive. After a short assessment phase, you can set rehabilitation exercises with feedback.

The tension of the behind muscle chains is by normal spine column equally left-right divided (with a difference of 5%). When the body (spinal column) slightly turns due to a problem in a certain region (or multiple problems in multiple regions) the tension of the behind chains will change accordingly. This is why it’s very useful to study the ortho-dynamic balance through a feedback load control system. The changeable geometry structure of the Postural Bench system allows to the operators to “close” the rear muscles chain in a very gradual and sensitive way. It consists of resetting the postural schedule with a new methodology: active proprioceptive stretching.

The Postural Bench allows to work in an open chain with feedback control, in a closed chain with feedback control and proprioceptive muscle reinforcement with feedback gate control.

The focal points in the Postural Bench system are six high technology, precise and independent working load detectors which allow to highlight the coil reflection on dorsal, lumbar and hipbone level.
