ZeSa® Dynamic Balance-Strength Training System™ – Neuromuscular Training for Balance, Brain Cognition and Motor Function
PROBLEM: Falls are the #1 cause of injury & related death for adults over age 65. Fall injuries = $50 Billion (& rising) in medical costs each year in the U.S. The average cost per person, per fall, is $64,000.
Balance loss begins as early as in our 20’s, amplifies falls and injury probability, and lowers quality of life and longevity unless we counteract it. Fear of falling due to low Balance-Strength™ causes people to refrain from movement, further intensifying their lack of balance and health. Longevity is proven to be decreased by insufficient Balance-Strength™ for aging adults.
It was once thought by neuroscientists that improvements in brain cognition could only manifest during childhood, but research now shows that many aspects of the brain can be altered even through adulthood. Recent studies show that standard exercise may not accomplish this, but that a sense of instability and the need to stabilize your body through Dynamic Balance Training can be an indication for the brain to release the “neurochemical cocktail” (adrenaline, acetylcholine, and dopamine) which can help to restructure or rewire the brain.
SOLUTION: ZeSa® Dynamic Balance-Strength Training System™ is the only compact and user-friendly portable system that challenges and trains the central nervous system and musculoskeletal system in a multi-sensory environment created by dynamic instability, in all three planes of motion, and with progressive levels. ZeSa’s System provides a safe and effective means of Dynamic Balance-Strength Training (exercises that challenge and improve balance while in motion) to improve balance, strength and flexibility, while simultaneously:
- Stimulating neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to adapt & reorganize its structure) by creating new neural pathways & strengthening existing ones.
- Stimulating of the vestibular system which plays a crucial role in balance and spatial orientation.
- Improving Executive Function, which is the set of cognitive abilities that include problem-solving, decision-making, planning, and attention control.
- Increasing blood flow & oxygenation to the brain by enhancing circulation to deliver vital nutrients and oxygen to brain cells, promoting their health and function and improving cognitive function.
- Improving dual tasking abilities by challenging the brain to allocate attention and resources effectively, improving multitasking abilities and cognitive flexibility.
Research shows this type of training can also reconnect neural pathways, regrow brain cells and improve motor control issues in those with neuromuscular disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy and Myasthenia Gravis, and neurodegenerative and neurodivergent syndromes such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis and Autism. ZeSa’s System can also improve balance issues related to hearing and vision loss and strokes, and recovery from MTBI’s (mild traumatic brain injuries).
Training with ZeSa’s System can be an effective means to improve the static/dynamic steady state of the proactive and reactive balance in aging adults, especially those with neuromuscular disorders, recovering from strokes and others, all in a safe and controlled environment.
ZeSa’s System is cost-efficient, user friendly, and has progressive levels that provide benefits to individuals regardless of age, physical condition, and abilities. ZeSa’s lower-level devices are suitable for aging adults who are de-conditioned or balance challenged, and can be used with an optional balance stick or walker for added safety.
ZeSa’s System is perfect for in-home use, at the gym, in senior wellness centers and assisted living facilities.
