FIND BALANCE THROUGH FINNISH SENSOR TECHNOLOGY!
Balance is an indication of human performance
Control of balance is one of the key components of human performance, in working age people, children, the aged and athletes alike. Balance is also linked to certain musculoskeletal and neurological diseases. Research indicates that measurement of balance can identify signs related to ageing or illnesses. For example, in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, impairment of balance together with cognitive performance may constitute a factor that can facilitate a diagnosis of at the early stage of the disease¹. The total estimated worldwide cost of dementia care is around US$ 1,000 billion². Early diagnosis of the disease will save care costs and improve quality of life for affected individuals³.
“Balance has been widely overlooked in evaluating human health, wellbeing and performance. Now there is a way to measure this hidden gem, thanks to modern technology that facilitates quick, precise and cost-efficient measurement of human balance. Precise measurement will help professionals understand the significance of balance better alongside its possible connections to performance, illnesses and functional capacity in general. Our aim is to be involved in realising this development together with our partners and clients,” says Matti Vartiainen, CEO of Ainone.
