The Balance Scan System is a sophisticated and precise measurement technique for detecting pressure forces both in static and dynamic processes. It enables the accurate diagnostic detection and analysis of upper body posture and body fulcrum while sitting.
Balance Scan Measuring Method
Therapy Supported Measurement with High Quality Equipment
The available sensor technology allows the registration of weak strength measurements (important for children) and has a high sampling frequency. The high measurement frequency and the vector analysis are decisive foundations for a high quality individual therapy plan for the patient.
Individually and Medically Based Training Therapy
Besides assessing the diagnostic data, the system is also prepared for biofeedback therapies. Using the acquired data, our specialists are able to design an individually and medically based training therapy for you.
Static and Dynamic Analysis of Posture and Seating Balance
- Static pressure tests to obtain the pressure conditions during sitting
- Static balance and center of gravity determinations during sitting to evaluate deficits in posture and imbalances.
- Evaluation of dynamic pressure dispersion and balance behavior of the body

A radiation free statodynamic measurement method, that provides important diagnostic information on the spinal column, hip status, head balance, jaw position, body tone, posture, leg and foot loads.
Formetric 4D
Therapy Supporting Measurement
The analysis system DIERS formetric 4D technology allows a quick, static and dynamic (functional) and optical measurement of the above mentioned body segments. The process is free of radiation and does not directly contact the body. Multiple clinical diagnoses regarding objective analyses of body tension and posture, scoliosis and all forms of spinal column deformities can be determined.
Scientifically based 4D Scanning Technology
Fast, Without Physical Contact and Radiation, Scientifically Based
The newest development of 4D technology is innovative for the entry in the functional clinical measurement techniques, enhancement of measure accuracy (4D averaging) and avoidance of false measurements attributed to posture variations. It allows static measurements, which can be determined through a series of pictures over time while also allowing measurements during body movement (walking, running).
Einsatzspektrum
- Spinal column position
- False positioning due to scoliosis
- Lordosis and Kyphosis
- Pelvis position
- Differences in leg lengths
- False foot positioning
- Head and jaw positions – Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD)
- Functional analysis
- Deviations and case tendencies
- Other
Cervical Spine Measurement
With the “cervical spine measurement” module, the mobility (range of motion) of the cervical spine (neck) can be assessed in 3D. The direction of motion, flexion, extension, left lateral flexion as well as right and left and right rotation is measured. The measurement data and asymmetries are able to be pictured graphically.
Pedography
The analysis of the movement apparatus is completed in connection of a foot pressure measurement system. It provides important additional clinical information.
Advantages for the Patient

ISST Myo-Bar-Meter
Measuring Lip Strength and Nose Flow
The ISST Myo-Bar Meter is capable of measuring lip strength and the air permeability of the nose (nose flow). The measurements are made in conjunction with the Face Former.
Lippenkraft
The tension of the lips is a part of muscle function. Eight muscle pairs are responsible for mouth closure and lip movement. The muscles function synchronistically and actively perform a complex pattern of movement. Therefore, measurement of lip strength provides information about the development of the ability to close one’s mouth and the about the extent of activity and function of the muscle groups.
Nose Flow
Nose flow measurement records the air flow through the nose.
The technique makes it possible in a simple way to measure the flow of respiration before (initial diagnostic), during (course diagnostic) and after (final diagnostic) therapy. Positive changes observed through the Face Form therapy primarily indicate an optimal tension of the nasal mucosa and an achieved cross-section reduction in the nasal muscles. The patient perceives this effect by experiencing improved breathing through the nose.
Goals of IMB Measurement
- Comparative and standard measurements
- Exercise and monitoring controls
- Motivational measurement
