The Korebalance, an interactive balance training device designed by SportKat and manufactured by Med-Fit Systems, Inc., is an excellent tool for balance and speed training, fall prevention, and rehabilitation after injury.

Balance training can play a vital role in injury prevention and rehabilitation. The Korebalance, a power training device designed to improve agility, motor control and reaction time, is highly effective at both, which is why it has been an essential part of many sports and therapy programs for decades.

The Korebalance is an interactive fitness device designed for the training and testing of static and functional balance. Created by SportKat, the Korebalance has been proven as highly effective, improving balance proficiency by 40 to 60 percent within six weeks. The device also has proven benefits in sports training, with research showing an 87 percent decrease in ACL injuries for athletes using a balance training program. For this reason, the Korebalance is used by many professional sports teams, including those in the NBA, NFL, and NHL, as well as sports clubs and universities around the world.

Designed to help treat various balance anomalies and provide tangible benefits in orthopedic and neurosensory rehabilitation, the Korebalance is also widely used in clinics, physical therapy and medical centres, assisted living facilities, and fitness clubs. The interactive games available with the system make the workout programs fun and engaging, increasing positive feedback and adherence to the fitness routines.

The device is particularly efficient at addressing injuries to the lower limb, especially to the knee and ankle, which are frequently sustained as a result of poor balance. Without proper balance training, athletes can easily get injured if they slip and fall while changing direction or landing, and injuries can easily lead to re-injuries if, for instance, an athlete's ACL disturbs the joint's recovery time. Knee injuries affect the joint's ability to quickly and accurately assess its position in space and the extra recovery time, resulting from incomplete rehabilitation, is a serious risk factor associated with repeated lower limb injuries.

The Korebalance allows users to select exercises like shooting, passing or swinging drills, or to create their own sets of workouts based on their specific needs. The exercises available with the system stimulate the user and help improve coordination, posture, stability, balance, and agility. The workouts are interactive, fun and challenging, training the body to respond to an unstable surface, and improving flexibility and muscle strength with minimal repetitive stress on joints.

The reaction time, motor control and balance workouts available with the Korebalance make the system an excellent tool for fall prevention routines, which makes it very valuable to seniors as well. It helps improve their confidence in performing everyday tasks and decreases the risk of falling.

The Korebalance is also used in therapy following concussions and traumatic brain injuries as it helps patients deal with the associated imbalance and dizziness. Trainers and physical therapists can use the balance and vestibular assessment technology to monitor the patients' recovery, and patients benefit from the improved mental agility and muscle strength as they are motivated by 3D interactive games to keep exercising. The Korebalance offers them an immersive experience in an interactive virtual environment where their speed, momentum, reaction time and balance improve their performance in various active games designed for balance training. The system is also used in the treatment of other muscle control and neurosensory disorders, including peripheral neuropathy, vertiginous migraines, ataxia, MS, and Parkinson's Disease.
