K-D Balance is an FDA-cleared app used by trained professionals — including athletic trainers and coaches, physical therapists, nurses, physicians, and other trained professionals . This app is intended only for users with an existing K-D Balance account. K-D Balance assesses three balance stances: double stance, right tandem stance and left tandem stance. To use K-D Balance, an iPhone or iPod touch is secured to the individual during the assessment. A hands-free, wearable device holder may be used to help stabilise the device. After step-by-step voice guidance for each stance, an objective balance score is automatically derived by detecting the individual's movements using the device's internal accelerometer. Trained professionals can compare an individual's K-D Balance assessments longitudinally.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: K at none against Reflex's 5. K also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Reflex's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#132 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
