Therapies

BITS provides therapy exercise and outcomes assessment for vision, cognition, motor, and balance abilities.

BITS therapies cover a wide range of exercises for patients with deficits resulting from traumatic injuries and movement disorders as well as competitive athletes. Each therapy category serves a unique function and clinical focus.

Assessments

Trail Making Assessment challenges working memory, visual attention, and task switching

Bell Cancellation task allows for a quantitative and qualitative assessment of visual neglect

Berg Balance Scale assesses static balance ability, fall risk and the executive functions of planning and foresight for patients with objective scoring measure.

Functional Reach Tests limits of stability by measuring the maximum distance a patient can reach.

Romberg Test assesses the effect on static balance with varying visual and propioceptive input.

Sensory Integration Test (SIT) assesses postural stability in stance with varying visual, proprioceptive & vestibular inputs.

Maze Test assesses attention, visuoconstructional ability and the executive functions of planning and foresight.

Visual Scan & Motor Reaction assesses visuomotor coordination, peripheral awareness, hand speed, reaction time and endurance.

Static Postural Sway assesses patient’s postural sway while maintaining balance in a fixed position.

Dynamic Postural Sway assess weight shifting, range of motion and postural control with guided exercise.

BITS 3.0 Therapy Categories

null

Visual Scanning

Designed to assess and challenge visuomotor coordination, visual attention, peripheral awareness, hand speed, reaction time, and cognitive training.
null

Visual Pursuit*

Designed to challenge and assess visuomotor coordination, peripheral awareness, reaction time, and cognitive training.
null

Cognitive

Designed to challenge and assess visual memory, auditory memory, visual/ auditory motor planning, and cognitive training.
null

Visual Motor

Designed to challenge and asses visual-motor integration, visual form perception, and peripheral awareness.
null

Charts

Designed to challenge and assess visual search skills, accuracy, speed of response, and visual and auditory processing.
null

Static Balance

Designed to challenge, assess and track postural stability, postural orientation and trunk control while body it at rest. Balance exercises are combined with cognitive and visuomotor activities.
null

Dynamic Balance

Designed to challenge, assess and track weight shifting, postural control and limits of stability while the body is in motion. Challenge dual-tasking capability by combining vision, motor and cognitive activities with balance training.
null

Optokentic Static and Optokentic Dynamic*

Optokinetic programs are split into static and dynamic trainings and layer visual distortion with static and dynamic balance therapy exercises. The optokinetic stimulation challenges the smooth and saccadic eye movements, asseses image stabilization and tracks the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
null

Vestibular

Designed to challenge, assess and track gaze stabilization and habituation, with or without head movements.

Indications for Use: The Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS) is intended to challenge and assess the visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and balance abilities of individuals, including those with deficits resulting from traumatic injuries and movement disorders as well as competitive athletes (e.g. abilities include Visuomotor Coordination, Reaction Time, Visuospatial Perception, Visual & Auditory Processing, Working Memory, Physical & Cognitive Endurance, Balance Control, Postural Stability).

The Bioness Integrated Therapy System software programs utilize moving and rotating graphics that may cause dizziness, vertigo, or nausea in sensitive patients –use should be discontinued if experienced.
