Risk of Falling
The Tetrax Fall Index parameter, which is calculated using data from the
individual's balance measurement, presents a complete picture of his risk of falling from balance
disorders. This index is calculated using general stability, synchronizations, and Fourier transformations, thus reflecting the different balance parameters that can cause falling.

Fall index results fall risk into three categories - low, medium and high risk of falling.
Based on the fall index results and individual needs and requirements of the patient, the physician
can make decisions regarding exercise programs, nutrition education, the need for balance aids,
and other assistance.
The Importance of Fall Risk Assessment
The serious consequences of osteoporotic fractures in the elderly has led physicians to search for both
diagnostic solutions and interventions for these fractures. The Tetrax system, especially when combined with
Sunlight Omnisense for bone strength assessment, provides the ideal way to test for falling risk non-invasively.
It can be used safely and easily for fall risk monitoring, providing an additional level of follow-up for concerned
physicians and patients.
