There was a study in the US, exploring fall prediction and prevention,
which, I think, used the Balance Master. The person to contact for
information would be Steve Wolf, PT, PhD at Emory University. I believe
their study was published several years ago. You should be able to do a
search on Dr. Wolf's name.
