Why Homebalance Care?
Homebalance Care is a unique service and product that HomeBalance has developed and it is the only system in the Czech Republic of this kind. Also, it is beneficial for anyone who has problems that Homebalance Care can solve without the need for regular doctor's visits.
Can remote rehabilitation fully replace a visit to a physiotherapist?
Distance therapy cannot fully replace the care of professional physiotherapists. That is why Homebalance Care service includes personal examinations by a physiotherapist. However, distance therapy is not only a suitable complement to physiotherapeutic care but also a useful aid.
At the same time, it allows the patient to perform daily rehabilitation care from the comfort of home, which significantly saves not only time but also money.
Can a less technically proficient person handle the equipment?
Each cycle of the Homebalance Care service is preceded by a visit to a specialist therapist, who will not only supervise the course of therapy but will also show the patient how to use all the equipment. The patient will also be provided with instructions that can be inspected at any time. Also, an instructional video on how to use the entire therapeutic set is provided. If problems occur the patient can contact his personal therapist or technical support.

Isn't exercising on the platform dangerous? Is there a risk of falling from the platform?
For most people, the risk of falling from the platform is negligible. However, there are also groups of patients at risk, for instance, those, who have trouble standing on their feet for a long time. We recommend to those patients to get any kind of support on the stabilometric platform on which they can lean on, or use the help of someone close to reduce the risk of falling from the platform.

The wrist pedometer lasts charged for several days. Tablets and batteries located on the platform last for several hours.
We recommend that you monitor the battery status of each device and recharge it so as not to risk completely discharging any of them.
