Standard vs Advanced Versions

BTrackS™ Assess Balance comes in “Standard” and “Advanced” versions.

The Standard version has two test protocols and three training protocols to assess and train essential aspects of balance.

The Advanced version has twelve protocols (i.e. seven testing and five training) that provide the most complete solution for identifying balance issues and training balance. This software also comes with a foam pad for the mCTSIB protocol.
