Results
The NYMBL Balance platform has validated performance at multiple levels. It begins with High Initial engagement with >25% of entire ILC initiating the program when offered. At 21 days of participation we already see balance impairment improvements with postural sway area reduced 37%. This impairment improvement correlated with 15% improvement in balance scores with the Imperial College study in just 21 days. At 30 days residents in senior living have seen a 28.3% score improvement that resulted in a 50% reduction in the number of persons at increased risk of falling. Participation in the program is sustained long term with 87% of ILC residents completing at least 3 days per week, and at 6 months over 2/3rds of community members are still participating resulting in lasting balance improvements at a point where research indicates permanent attitudes and behaviors are changed.
