Vision Advantage

The Bertec Vision Advantage (BVA) identifies dysfunction in the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) per the Dynamic Visual Acuity Test. The BVA provides a more objective test than the standard clinical DVA test using an eye chart. The BVA also includes a Gaze Stability Test that identifies when the VOR falls below normal limits and whether there is an asymmetry between the left and right side. These advanced capabilities allow the clinician to customize treatment to the patient, resulting in optimal patient outcomes.

• Wireless and light weight head tracker

• Next generation VOR assessments

• Patient-specific baseline comparison

• Automatic sensor calibration

• New technology allows for unrestricted patient movements and more flexibility for clinicians

Next generation VOR assessments

Do your patients have the optimal eye and head coordination to maximize their performance? Find out using the Bertec Vision Advantage system, which identifies dysfunction in the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) per the Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) Test and measures the head velocity, axis, and direction where visual accuracy breaks down per the Gaze Stabilization Test (GST).

Wireless and lightweight

Eliminating the need for long, unruly cords, the wireless and lightweight head-worn sensor ensures that your patient’s head movement is un-hindered and free-moving. The sensor is designed to detect head movement in all directions, so our software can distinguish whether a patient’s head is moving correctly for each test.

Portable and convenient

The Bertec Vision Advantage’s portable design allows your facility to use the system in multiple locations to improve patient workflow.

Assessment Protocols

Visual Processing Time (VPT) – this quick screen ensures the patient can process the optotype (letter “E”) stimuli quickly enough to use DVA and GST protocols accurately and reliably.

Baseline Visual Acuity (BVAT) measures a patient’s visual acuity with the head stationary. The results are then used for comparison to visual acuity while the head is moving during DVA and GST protocols.

Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) provides an assessment of the smallest character the patient can identify accurately while the head is moving at a specific and constant velocity. Data can be collected for any axis of rotation (yaw, pitch, or roll) and are analyzed and reported for each direction of rotation separately. Results indicating significant loss of visual acuity in one or both directions are considered an indication of VOR impairment.

Gaze Stabilization Test (GST) measures the head velocity, axis, and direction where visual accuracy breaks down. Results provide insight into a patient’s effective use of VOR as it relates to functional demands for activities of daily living, and clinicians can use the data to make training decisions and document progress.

Patient Training uses computerized VOR training to simulate gaze stabilization X1 exercises, with selectable controls for velocity and direction of head movement. Training exercises are customized to patient performance on DVA and GST and can be programmed to progress through varying levels of challenge depending on patient’s successful completion. Progress reports are automatically stored for printing.

Sales Inquiry

A Balanced Approach to Vision

BVT enhances visual-motor and balance performance through innovative, state-of-the-art technology. The BVT provides a variety of hand-eye coordination and visual memory tasks that lie at the core of our ability to carry out daily activities and interactions with objects as well as the people around us. Visual-spatial processing is a key component of balance, so we have integrated the balance plate to help improve reaction time, stability, and dynamic balance.

Crawl, Walk, Run

BVT uses the "crawl, walk, run" philosophy. This provides both a tailored approach to the needs of the person and a good framework to progress the individual based on their performance. For example, the software allows for an individual to perform similar activities of a high-performance athlete by adjusting the number, the speed, the size, and the area of targets. The duration of the training and visual backgrounds can also be customized to the individual's level of performance.

Visual Reality

The features with BVT to customize backgrounds and targets not only allows for tailored training but also creates a more real-life scenario that is specific to the individual. For example, a baseball player can work on eye-hand coordination and reaction times while viewing a baseball field. While someone who may have dizziness or feel unsteady in busy visual environments (such as the grocery store) can train as if they are pushing a grocery cart through the store. Customized training and multisensory-task training has shown to result in better outcomes.

Vision Training is Brain Training

BVT trains the brain to process visual information faster and more efficiently. Flash, Sequence, and Multi training modes were developed to stimulate cognition, enhance spatial awareness, and improve visual memory brain processes. Custom vision training is simple with rich selection of features to tune the training to the individual. Cognitive-based training modes are designed to train pattern recognition, spatial awareness, and working memory skills.
