Balance is a great indicator of brain health in Wesley Chapel FL. It provides vital information with many symptoms and conditions. As we grow our balance improves, but it can be impacted from injuries, infections, or simply as we age it gets impacted. Research does show a lot of links between balance and brain function including cognition.
Many will think because they don’t fall, run into things, or are clumsy that there balance is fine. That is an assumption that often isn’t true, for that reason we test using computerized technology and don’t leave things to chance.
Conditions it is often used for:
Balance is made up of what you see, feel, hear, and input from your vestibular system (think of inner ears but that is only part of it). At Peak Brain and Body we evaluate 24 different components of balance.
Oculography is a fancy term for eye movements. Eye movements have long been considered a window into the brain. With a 30 minute test we are able to evaluate multiple parts of the brain. This is very different than going to an eye doctor. If you think about shooting a gun, you have the scope and how steady someone can hold it. Going to an eye doctor is making sure you have a good scope. This testing allows us to measure how well your brain controls a variety of movements.
Dysfunction in eye movements are routinely off in many of the conditions listed above in balance. Beyond that, this testing routinely provides actionable information for many symptoms individuals have:
We measure 37 different components of eye movements. This is the highest level of eye movement testing available and we are able to show you video’s of how well you performed. We don’t leave things to chance.
Depending on the needs of the patient we utilize two different systems for cognitive testing. These are based off of neuropsychological testing that has been performed for years. We utilize Creyos and CNS Vital Signs. These are not only used as part of initial testing but as a way to monitor the efficacy of treatment.
For those worried about Alzheimer’s or Dementia and have notable memory issues we perform Montreal Cogntive Assessment known as the “MOCA Test”.
QEEG stands for quantitative electroencephalogram. It is become increasingly popular over the past few years. It measures the activity of brain waves and let’s you know where the amounts are appropriate or not. It is often called brain mapping as a result of this.
The brain waves that are measured include: delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma. When they are out of sync it can be the result of a variety of symptoms and conditions. Imagine you are listening to a band and the drummer, guitar, bass guitar, and singer are out of sync, it creates chaos and you don’t get the desired outcome. The same thing is true with brain waves.
There is currently a lot of research being done on QEEG. This includes in the following areas:
We find most individuals get the best information when we take a complete picture to their health. It wouldn’t be recommended to do these tests in isolation as it doesn’t provide a complete picture.
This is the brain part of the evaluation that we provide at Peak Brain and Body. The body part is discussed in the lab testing section of diagnostics.
