Static posturography with dynamic tests. Usefulness of biomechanical parameters in assessing vestibular patients.

2012

Abstract Introduction and objective Posturography allows us in evaluating postural control. This study showed the posturographic parameters that were useful for assessing the functional ability to maintain balance in our sample of vestibular patients. Material and methods Of a total of 89 patients, 59 were healthy subjects and 30 had a peripheral vestibular disorder. The subjects were studied using the posturographic NedSVE/IBV system, combining static (Romberg) and dynamic (stability limits and rhythmic weight shifts) tests. We then compared the measurements found in the groups. Results Normal subjects showed significantly lower oscillations than our patients in all of the posturographic p…
