Sensory Organization for Balance: Specific Deficits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background. The cause of frequent falling in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (AD) is not weil understood. Distraction from incongruent visual stimuli may be an important factor as suggested by their poor performance in tests of shifting visual attention in other studies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether AD patients have difficulty maintaining upright balance under absent andlor incongruent visual and other sensory conditions compared to nondemented healthy elderly persons and individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Identification of Balance Deficits in People with Parkinson Disease; is the Sensory Organization Test Enough?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Balance deficits in people with Parkinson's disease can affect any of the multiple systems encompassing balance control. Thus, identification of the specific deficit is crucial in customizing balance rehabilitation. The sensory organization test, a test of sensory integration for balance control, is sometimes used in isolation to identify balance deficits in people with P...
