Balance Scan  •  Tug

Your provider would like you to perform this test at home. We will walk you through what you need and what you need to do. Please do your best to follow the instructions. There will be an analysis of the video by a computer, so it is imperative to get good lighting, see the patient’s entire body the whole time and have the patient sit still in the video at the beginning and end. This is how the computer registers that scan is to start and then is completed.

Please reach out with any questions to ??
