Allied Services - Balance

The Balance Program at Allied Services treats patients with diagnoses that are related to vestibular and neurological disorders. Your eyes, nervous system and inner ears all contribute to your sense of balance. However, if any one of these complex systems isn?t sending the proper signals to your brain ? or your brain sending the right signals back ? you may experience dizziness or become unstable. The good news is that many balance deficits can be improved with balance rehabilitation.

At Allied Rehab and Heinz Rehab?s Balance Programs, specially trained therapists help patients improve balance, decrease dizziness, minimize falls and reduce their need for medication and improve activity levels. Using the latest advancements in technology coupled with knowledge and help from experts trained in vestibular rehabilitation, our team will develop a program specifically tailored to your needs.

Patients in the balance program receive physical or occupational therapy in one hour sessions, usually one to four times per week for several weeks, depending upon the severity of their condition.

Specialty Services

Balance Training with State-of-the-Art Equipment
Weak core muscles contribute to all kinds of problems in the body. Allied?s balance training equipment can help patients strengthen core muscles and help with rehabilitation therapy. State of the art equipment goes from balance pads, balance beams, balance discs and boards to anodyne therapy and the Balance Master.

Fall prevention
Allied therapists help patients prevent falls with therapies designed to improve strength, flexibility and balance, as well as necessary education and assistive devices. Patients leave Allied with individualized exercise regimens designed to improve balance and with renewed self-reliance and a feeling of independence.

Habituation Exercises
Habituation exercises are an effective method of dealing with balance-related dizziness and vertigo, where the patient is repeatedly exposed to techniques and exercises that stimulate the vestibular symptoms. Through repeated exposure to these exercises, the brain will re-train and be accustomed to the movements and the symptoms will lessen.

Patient and family education
Allied?s therapists consider family involvement to be a key component of our program. We educate both the patient and his or her family or caregiver on any potential safety concerns. We also provide training and support to ensure that the patient?s treatment is able to continue at home and in other settings.

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy
An exercise-based program designed to promote central nervous system compensation for inner ear deficits, vestibular rehab can help with a variety of vestibular problems, including Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and the unilateral or bilateral vestibular hypofunction (reduced inner ear function on one or both sides) associated with M?ni?re?s disease, labyrinthitis, and vestibular neuritis. Even individuals with long-term unresolved inner ear disorders who have undergone a period of medical management with little or no success may benefit. VRT can also help people with an acute or abrupt loss of vestibular function following surgery for vestibular problems.

Technologies Involved

The Balance Master -- balance & vestibular rehabilitation technology at Allied Services

The Balance Master?
This is a computerized evaluation and treatment tool used to treat balance and dysfunction. The technology allows clinicians to objectively assess patients performing a variety of dynamic tasks.

Continuum of Care

To provide the best care possible for patients recovering from a debilitating condition or injury, Allied Services provides a comprehensive, seamless continuum of rehabilitative care. Our outpatient programs are primarily for people living safely at home who have completed or did not require a post-acute inpatient stay, but require additional rehabilitative therapy to alleviate physical limitation or pain.

If a patient suffering from a debilitating condition or injury requires intensive, around-the-clock nursing and/or therapy services, but cannot tolerate or does not require the intensity of therapy delivered during an inpatient rehab hospital stay, or their insurance does not cover inpatient rehabilitation, they would be an appropriate candidate for a transitional or long-term stay at our skilled nursing facility. Conversely, if the patient requires 24-hour care and can tolerate the intensity of a stay at one of our rehabilitation hospitals, they would be best suited for a stay at one of our inpatient facilities.

Patient Outcomes

At Allied Services, patient outcome metrics such as average number of visits, pain reduction, reduced function limitation, and likelyhood of recommending Allied Services to others, are among the best in the United States:

  • 98% of our outpatient population reported that their overall rating of care received was either good or very good.
  • 97% of our outpatient population reported that they would recommend out services to others.
  • 93% of our outpatient population reported that they either had no pain or a decrease in their pain during their treatment.

Our rehabilitation facilities regularly outperform other rehabilitation providers nationwide. According to statistics compiled by the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation, Allied Services ranks in the top 4% of 892 rehabilitation centers in the United States.
