Modified head shake computerized dynamic posturography.
PURPOSE Recent research on head shake posturography has demonstrated a modest increase in sensitivity to identifying peripheral vestibular system asymmetry when horizontal head movements were added to portions of the standard Sensory Organization Test (SOT) battery. However, limitations with respect to the head shake protocol were outlined, and usable data for assessing performance could not be...
متن کاملObjectively assessing balance deficits after TBI: Role of computerized posturography.
Balance impairment, or postural instability, is a common source of residual physical disability after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Standardized functional measures such as the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) do not specifically assess balance. Furthermore, no agreement exists as to the optimal way to objectively measure balance problems in the TBI population. Technological advance...
متن کاملComputerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) and the Assessment of Balance with Active Head Movements
Of the numerous tools available for assessing patients with imbalance, the most clinically effective one is an accurate clinical history i.e., the patient’s past and presenting symptoms. Once the symptoms have been established, then one can select the appropriate laboratory studies which when interpreted in conjunction with that history should offer information relative to site-of-lesion, narro...
متن کامل[Evaluation of the treatment of vestibular disorders in children with computerized dynamic posturography: preliminary results].
OBJECTIVE This study aimed at evaluating dynamic posturography as an evaluation method in children with balance problems due to peripheral vestibulopathy, before and after treatment with vestibular rehabilitation, establishing its correlation with classical clinical evaluation. METHOD Ten children (six boys and four girls) with vestibular symptoms of peripheral origin were evaluated through a...
متن کاملInvestigation of Balance Function Using Dynamic Posturography under Electrical-Acoustic Stimulation in Cochlear Implant Recipients
Introduction. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of electrical-acoustic stimulation on vestibular function in CI patients by using the EquiTest and to help answer the question of whether electrically stimulating the inner ear using a cochlear implant influences the balance system in any way. Material and Methods. A test population (n = 50) was selected at random from ...
