The newly released and improved ICS Impulse software, which supports earlier diagnosis leading to quicker rehabilitation and evaluating Vestibular rehabilitation therapy, now has four testing modules in one solution. ICS Impulse delivers to Physiotherapy professionals a Video Frenzel, video Head Impulse Test (v-HIT), and Positional and Ocular motor test batteries in one portable, easy to use solution.
