VCF: Center of pressure velocity in the eyes closed/foam rubber condition; ACF: Envelopment area tracing by movement of the center of pressure in the eyes closed/foam rubber condition; VRF: Romberg’s ratio of velocity with foam rubber; ARF: Romberg’s ratio of area with foam rubber; VFCF: Foam ratio of velocity in the eyes closed/foam rubber condition; FCF: Foam ratio of area in the eyes closed/foam rubber condition; FT value: Foulage test value; CP (%): Canal paresis in caloric test; AR (%): Asymmetry ratio; cVEMP: Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic responses; oVEMP: Ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic responses; OD: Orthostatic dysregulation. Residual standard error = 0.20 (df = 13; multiple R-squared = 0.81; adjusted R-squared = 0.67, F-statistic = 5.77 (df, 10 and 13; P value = 0.002, Akaike information criterion = -68.7).
