Be smart about your balance
Many of us notice our balance getting worse as we get older, but don’t know what to do about it. The Stability Home scale is here to help.
How good is your balance today? What is your fall risk?
Measure your balance on the Stability Home scale to get started on your balance journey. The scale gives you an easy-to-understand balance score from 1 to 10 and tells you your fall risk level.

What does it mean that the Stability Home scale measures balance and predicts falls?
The Stability Home scale measures your balance, or how much control you have over your body’s movements to stay upright. Those with low balance scores are less in control and are more likely to fall in the coming year. Imagine you are out walking the dog. All sorts of hazards could be encountered. A tree root could be pushing through the sidewalk – a tripping hazard. Ice could be on the sidewalk, leading to a slip. If you have good balance, it is easier for you to maintain control over your body when you trip or slip, and you are less likely to fall. If you have poor balance, a hazardous situation like this is more likely to result in a fall. Those with very low balance scores, 1-3, are also more likely to fall spontaneously, without the presence of a hazard.
How has the balance score been validated?
ZIBRIO Stability scales take precision measurements of balance using BrioCore® technology, a powerful algorithm that measures many characteristics of your body’s movements in order to quantify balance and identify your fall risk. The scale and balance score have been validated through 7 different studies, including over 3000 balance tests of human subjects. BrioCore technology was developed as part of the US Space program and is Space Certified Technology.
Is the Stability Home Scale HSA Approved?
Yes, you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) card to pay for your Stability Home Scale.
