We sold some machines to an assisted living facility a few years ago and they used the machines for immediate indicators of balance issues and therapy for same. After speaking with one of the therapists she indicated that the machine was beneficial in showing the particular resident if they were balanced on their feet or if there was an issue. Of course the machine would start moving if the resident was leaning forward or backwards and by correcting their position on-board the machine they would get positive feedback immediately. I was very surprised, and pleased, that they had discovered a nuance that I was unaware of.
