Statistical results for individual sensory organisation tests (conditions III–VI) of dynamic posturography

Sensory condition	Surface on which subject is standing	Vision or visual environment	Full model		Component
			SMD+R		R		SMD
			χ² (df=2)	p Value	χ² (df=1)	p Value	χ² (df=1)	p Value
Condition III	Stable	Sway-referenced^†	10.2	0.006^*	3.12	0.08	4.445	0.035
Condition IV	Sway-referenced	Stable	18.8	0.00002^*	0.77	0.38	14.91	0.0001^*
Condition V	Sway-referenced	Eyes closed	3.8	0.15	2.29	0.13	0.51	0.48
Condition VI	Sway-referenced	Sway-referenced	11.2	0.0008^*	9.99	0.011^*	0.012	0.9

Condition I (stable support, visual environment stable) and Condition II (stable support, eyes closed) are not reported, due to low abnormality rates.

Statistically significant, assuming an overall false discovery rate of 5%.

^†

Sway referenced: visual surround or support surface is moving in phase with anterior–posterior body sway so as to reduce visual or somatosensory input for control of balance.

R, anxiety response; SMD, space and motion discomfort.
