VOR Eye Rehab vs Bertec Balance Advantage: Accessible Vestibular Rehab vs $40K+ Clinical Hardware
Bertec is the gold standard for in-clinic balance assessment with force plates and immersive VR. But at $40-80K+, it's inaccessible to most clinics — and patients get zero support between visits.
Home Exercise Platform
Patients train daily with guided VOR exercises between clinic visits. Bertec has no home component — patients only train in-clinic.
Accessible Pricing
Subscription-based pricing accessible to any practice. Bertec requires $40-80K+ capital investment plus dedicated clinic space.
Cloud-Based Remote Monitoring
Track patient progress, symptoms, and adherence from anywhere. Bertec data stays on-premises with no remote access.

Why It Matters for Vestibular Patients
The Bertec Balance Advantage is a gold-standard clinical system for computerized dynamic posturography. Its force plate measurements and immersive VR environments provide objective balance data that no smartphone app can replicate. For clinics that can afford the $40-80K+ investment and have dedicated floor space, Bertec delivers valuable in-clinic assessment data.
But vestibular rehabilitation happens primarily at home. Patients need to perform VOR exercises daily between weekly clinic visits — and Bertec provides no home exercise component. Patients leave the clinic with verbal instructions or paper handouts, train unsupervised, and return the following week with no objective data on what happened in between.
VOR Eye Rehab fills the critical gap between clinic visits. Patients receive guided, sensor-tracked VOR exercises on their phone, with AI-driven difficulty progression and daily symptom tracking. Clinicians see adherence data, symptom trends, and outcome measure progress in real time — turning weekly clinic sessions into a continuous care model. Many clinics use Bertec for in-clinic assessment alongside VOR Eye Rehab for home exercise management.
