Fall PreventionTechnologies The program is designed for physicians that see patients who suffer from Dizziness, Vertigo, Unsteadiness and Propensity to Fall. As a greater segment of the U.S. population grows, doctors are likely to see many more of these types of patients in the future. In fact, Medicare estimates the cost to treat patients who suffer injuries related to falls will reach $20 billion dollars by 2020.
Balance Disorders are difficult to accurately diagnose Dizziness, disequilibrium, and vertigo are often poorly localizing symptoms and are difficult for patients to describe and therefore difficult for physicians to successfully diagnose and treat. Diagnostic work-ups (MRI) typically provide a low yield, and subsequent treatment options end with generally disappointing results. Additionally, the implementation of long term vestibular suppressant therapy (i.e., Meclizine) can prolong the disability and prevent the formation of central compensatory mechanisms, important for recovery from vestibular deficits. Full balance recovery, at best, is often incomplete, and the patient remains at risk for falls.
The Intellinetx Solution Intellinetx offers an innovative and comprehensive solution for improving outcomes of fall-risk patients.
We have assembled a diagnostic program with proven, standardized protocols. Highly specific diagnoses are possible using our industry leading Videonystagmography (VNG) to differentiate peripheral from central vestibular pathology. By doing so, a more individualized and effective therapy program can be designed to fit each specific patient.
Our testing regimen for patients include: oculomotor performance, positional testing, rotational testing, caloric measurements, and computerized balance assessment. Positive Results Guaranteed The Intellinetx team stands for excellence in the field of balance and fall prevention. Our testing equipment was developed by the actual creators of the VNG system and has therefore set a gold standard by which all others are measured. Our commitment to you, your practice, and your patients is unsurpassed and we are willing to stand behind our word by providing a five (5) year warranty on VNG equipment, the only of its kind on the market.
