Who We Are
Balance-T LLC is a start-up company formed in 2020 by two clinicians with expertise treating balance disorders. Balance-T LLC has developed a novel exercise device to be used at home for improving balance.
Falls are the leading cause of injury and death among adults 65 and older. The incidence of falling has increased over the last 10 years, with one in four older adults falling each year in the US. Most people fall while turning or walking yet are unaware that balance can be improved with exercise, just as the muscular system becomes stronger with exercise.
What is Balance-T
The Balance-T device was designed to mitigate and reduce balance problems and falls in the elderly population. The Balance-T is a low-cost, widely available tool that will allow users to exercise and improve their balance at home.
The device is simply designed as a T-bar
joined by an articulating joint consisting of a single vertical limb with a rubber foot attached via an articulating joint to a horizontal handlebar.

Does it Work?
Balance will improve after four-weeks of a Balance-T home exercise program.
Balance T LLC has developed a custom fit to device uniquely adaptable for user height, shoulder-width, and degree of difficulty.
One unique aspect of novelty of the device is that it enables balance training during gait and turning, when folks are most susceptible to falling. This not possible with current methods of exercise equipment.
