Assistive Devices
The Balance and Mobility Laboratory (Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre). The Balance and Mobility lab is located at the Sunnybrook Centre for Independent Living. The CSiA has established a satellite balance and mobility lab in the extended care wing of Sunnybrook, to promote greater interaction between CSiA researchers, patients and their family members, health professionals and other caregivers. Activities related to product development take place at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, as well as at the main CSiA lab at Sunnybrook. Facilities at the main CSiA lab include two unique, custom-built, computer-controlled, motor-driven motion-platform systems, which are used to evoke balance-recovery reactions in seated, standing or ambulating subjects. The primary focus of research is related to falls, balance and mobility and associated assistive devices.
