Abstract
Using a statokinesimeter which records displacements of the center of gravity, the reactions of the postural balance were registered. A test battery with the Romberg-test, the Tandem-Romberg, and two performances on a tilting table is presented. The different gradings of the test battery can be used for quantification of the severity of vestibular disturbances. The findings in 117 healthy persons were compared to those in 46 patients with vestibular disorders. It is suggested that clinical application of this method may be useful. The influence of age, height, and weight is demonstrated.Entities:
