The Dynamic Balance System - DBS ™ is a precise instructional tool providing real-time computer assisted feedback, designed to monitor the client's weight transfer and motion of their power generating center of gravity.

(Patent #5,697,791 with additional patents pending)

The DBS measures the deviation of the body's COG relative to a known, center point on the forceplate -- this unique aspect improves specificity and reliability with repeat testing/training

Precise Body Motions are critical in Sports, Exercise Performance and Functional Training

Balanced Motion is fundamental for consistent, repetitive functional and sports activities

A precise evaluation and training tool is required to learn the 'feel' of balanced motion.

 

Exercise Performance: Balance is fundamental to prevent injury, accelerate rehabilitation/ recovery and enhance performance.

Sports-Specific Training: Immediate kinethetic and audio feedback, body motion tempo, stability training, & injury prevention

Golf: A powerful golf swing is the result of proper balance and weight transfer -- therefore balance training is considered a fundamental aspect of instruction and practice.

     Available with synchronized video feedback, the DBS is a key component for the professional       "Learning Center"

Following Instructional and Practice programs the student is encouraged to train his/her kinesthetic awareness with the aid of our home trainer-- the DBS "Balance Zone" ® Training System.

The DBS is the training tool choice of the PGA Learning Center & PGA TOUR Academies for learning consistency in specific body motion parameters including address posture, motion to the top of the backswing, tempo, balance, "contact cluster" and target-side stability!

Utilizing testing and training techniques, originally developed for NASA and the medical field, the DBS provides the "New Standard for Golf Instruction".

The DBS utilizes immediate visual feedback from a force platform and enhanced video, to objectively reinforce proper address posture and the "feel" of balance during the swing. The DBS is a requirement for any progressive instructor, advanced golf training facility, club-fitting specialist, and/or Sports Medicine Performance Center.

Keys:

1. Real-time Immediate Feedback -- studies have shown that feedback within 20 sec. is necessary to improve kinesthetic awareness of specific, controlled motions during Physical Rehab and exercise

2. Client clearly understands if they are standing in balance or using a compensated posture
--do not assume that when clients stand straight that they are in balance--

3. Client learns the feel of functioning within an acceptable Balance Zone® and controlled weight transfer

4. Audio feedback parameters quickly modified by the instructor

5. Displays of both weight-transfer & true center-of-gravity movements for specificity of training --power during sports requires controlled body motion of the center-of-gravity over the base of support.  The DBS tracks the Center-of-Gravity deviation from a known center position during testing, instruction and practice !

6. Can be synchronized with video feedback to enhance learning

7. Printouts provided for Documenting Progress

8. During sports activities such as golf, baseball, etc. the body position at ball contact and the body's Sequence Tempo is identified which is critical for consistency

9. The DBS is a work-in-progress; studies performed at the PGA Learning Center and PGA TOUR Academies as well as at our multiple user sites provide for an increasing Swing Library which helps us learn how to better communicate the key aspects of controlled body motion during sports and exercises to our clients.

10.Specific Body Motion Parameters have been identified on the DBS graphs and initial evaluations of data demonstrates greater consistencies with professional golfers as compared to higher handicaps. We believe this information will be helpful for golf-specific fitness training, instruction and club-fitting. Data collection and analysis is continuing and the results are shared with the DBS users to assist their clients.
