What
How
By accurately measuring your body position and giving vibration feedback you learn to keep your balance within hours
For me?
The BalanceBelt is for people with loss of balance function, leading to poor balance and mobility
How does it work?
The BalanceBelt contains several tiny vibration motors. When the BalanceBelt senses that you are starting to lose balance, it will vibrate in the direction of your imbalance. Your brain will quickly learn to compensate your body based on these tiny vibrations.
The result: if you have severe balance problems, the BalanceBelt enables you to move freely again and look around you, without relying on walking aids.

Who benefits from the BalanceBelt?
The BalanceBelt is intended for people who suffer from balance disorders like Bilateral Vestibular Loss or Hypofunction (BVL / BVH), in which the balance organs in the inner ears function very poorly or not at all.
90% of people with a balance disorder are not diagnosed but suffer from their balance problems daily. They have to walk with crutches or walking canes and in many cases their disorder prevents them from working.
Our simple survey will help you get a better insight in your balance condition.
Prof. Dr. H. Kingma
Supported by Clinical research
Clinical trials have shown a significant improvement in the quality of life for people suffering from balance disorders like BVL, BVH and PPPD. A study under 39 BVL patients showed the following remarkable results:
- 80% experienced a positive effect after using the BalanceBelt for only 2 hours.
- The average Mobility and Balance Score increased by 88%.
- Even more surprisingly, 5 people started to use their bike again.
