2. Resource Description

   This device torsionally rotates the body axis (small, slow movement) at the level of the hips, trunk, or neck, and it measures the resistance to motion in the torsional direction. Motion is restricted in only the torsional direction so that the standing subject must naturally support his/her body against gravity. Designed to measure active postural tone at each level of the body axis.
