What is dynamic posturography?

Assessment of posture control in a changing environment is called dynamic posturography. The balance is maintained by a combined input from the feeling of touch through legs and legs, vision and vestibular system composed of structures of balance in the ear. When one or all these systems are disturbed, the result is dizziness, instability and tendency to decline. Dynamic posturography evaluates these problems, usually using computer dynamic posturography (CDP) and develops a therapeutic program aimed at repairing these problems. Before prescribing this treatment, dizziness should be present for more than one year, the cause should be unknown, disrupting or restricting walking and standing, or dizziness should worsen anxiety above the fall. Many clinical studies have shown that dynamic posturography, which uses CDP and CDP therapy, improves dizziness and instability associated with it.

three areas tested during dYnamic posturography are sensory organizations, engine management and adaptation. During the sensory organization test, the patient's ability to use and dispose of sensory information is tested to determine whether the patient can effectively use sensory information or performs incorrect adaptive reactions. The engine control test evaluates the ability and speed with which the patient can restore stability after a quick or sudden change. The adaptation test checks how the patient controls his swing when he is confronted with an unpredictable forward or backward tilt. The patient's reaction during these tests is the basis of therapy to improve balance and stability in the necessary areas.

Computer dynamic posturography is the most used diagnostic tool for dynamic posturography. For CDP evaluation, the patient stands in the face inside the movable, open cover painted by a simple scene that helps to navigate the patient. The foot plate below the patient rotates and moves aside. On the patient isPlace the harness of life and the type of life and is bound to the supports, so if the balance is lost, the subject will never fall. During the test, the choreographic movements of the cover and legs attacked the patient's stability and cause a physical reaction.

The physical movements of the patient in response to changes in the track and cover are recorded during the CDP test. These recorded movements are later analyzed to evaluate the patient's balance control. Therapy is designed on the basis of these results. During therapeutic sessions, the patient will be re -tested on the CDP machine to see if the balance control improves or whether therapy needs to be changed. Once the power on CDP improves to a certain level, therapy will be stopped.
