Prediction of ataxia (on-foot balance) and sway paths: As described in the caption for Figure 3, structural equation path analyses based on testing with eyes closed (left panels) and eyes open (right panels). The top two sets of paths include diagnosis (Dx) as a predictor, and the bottom two sets examine relations within the AUD group only and include the alcohol withdrawal index, which is meaningful for the AUD group, as a predictor. Here, age is a moderate to strong predictor of standing on one leg (“Ataxia stand”); in all path models, vibration sense is a consistent predictor of sway path length, which itself is a predictor of “Ataxia stand” with eyes open, where the longer the sway path, the less time one could stand on one leg. See Supplemental Table 4 for statistical test output.
