Monarch Balance for Life offers a comprehensive fall risk assessment at their state-of-the-art laboratory space on the campus of ¹ú²úÂ×Àí. The techniques used are cutting-edge, have been validated by decades of research, and are not offered in clinical settings due to the constraints of time and insurance.

Our Assessment Includes:

• 15 physiological tests which include strength, balance, vision, sensation, and reactions
• In-depth analysis of a person's walking ability
• Evaluation of balance confidence and fear of falling
• Cognitive tests

The comprehensive assessment predicts the likelihood you will fall in the next 6 months, as well as specific guidance on addressing your unique risk factors. The assessments allow us to prospectively identify those persons at risk of falling and gain a clearer understanding of the specific risk factors that may predispose them to falling.

Each Assessment Requires Two 1-hour Lab Visits and Includes:

• A 1-hour comprehensive testing session with a movement expert
• A written report outlining the findings of your assessment
• Up to 1-hour debriefing of the results with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss next steps
• Unlimited phone or email consultations with providers or family members to answer questions about your results and how to use them to develop your fall management plan

Each client is given a written report and chooses with whom to share the information. We can provide extra copies to share with your healthcare team to develop your fall management plan and get everyone on the same page.

Monarch Balance for Life has partnered with clinical practices in the Hampton Roads area to provide physiologic testing to help identify potential areas for targeted treatment. We work with our partners to provide you with the reasons why you are falling, as well as avenues for pursuing treatment. Each partner has worked with our team of researchers and clinicians to develop an assessment that helps them provide better care. Please schedule your assessment by contacting our partners directly.
