Clinical application of computerized dynamic posturography

Computerized dynamic posturography adds considerably to the evaluation of patients with dizziness and various forms of dysequilibrium and imbalance. The test is easy to administer, requires very little time (approximately 15 to 20 minutes), and does not create discomfort. Although learning may be a small factor in repeated measurements, the results are repeatable, and improvement in stability can be monitored over time. Because of the repeatability of testing, the effect of physical therapy and improvement noted after medical or surgical intervention can be quantified.
