Description
The VSR™ provides objective assessment of sensory and voluntary motor control of balance with visual biofeedback. The System utilizes an 18" x 18" fixed dual forceplate to measure the vertical forces exerted by the patient's feet.

Objective Assessment Protocols
The VSR includes the following standardized assessment protocols for the objective assessment of sensory and motor dysfunction:
The information provided by the mCTSIB and the LOS is complementary to Vestibular Ocular Reflex (VOR) testing:
| Function |
VOR |
VSR |
| Sensory Input |
Caloric Test: Asymmetry, Weakness |
mCTSIB: Partial Loss, Severe Loss |
| Motor Control |
Ocular Motility: Pursuit, Velocity, Latency |
LOS: Directional Control, Velocity, Latency |
By combining the results of a patient's history, physical exam and computerized ENG studies with the quick (less than 15 minutes) well tolerated VSR tests, the clinician can quickly identify those patients that can be effectively managed within the office and those that require further balance tests as summarized below.

Automated Documentation
The System automatically documents all assessments and training sessions for verification of patient progress and functional outcome. NeuroCom®, a division of Natus® automated reports.
Combined Clinical Report: The VSR also includes the Combined Clinical Report, which summarizes the mCTSIB and LOS data sets and provides a concise overview of the extent of sensory and voluntary motor involvement. Example Report
