Table 1.

Sensory organization test.

Conditions Situation Sensory consequences
Condition 1 (C1) Eyes open, fixed support -
Condition 2 (C2) Eyes closed, fixed support Vision absent
Condition 3 (C3) SR surround, fixed support Altered vision
Condition 4 (C4) Eyes open, SR support Altered proprioception
Condition 5 (C5) Eyes closed, SR support Vision absent, altered proprioception
Condition 6 (C6) SR surround, SR support Altered vision and proprioception
Ratios Significance
Somatosensory (RSOM) C2/C1 Question: does sway increase when visual cues are removed?
Low scores: poor use of somatosensory references
Visual (RVIS) C4/C1 Question: does sway increase when somatosensory cues inaccurate?
Low scores: poor use of visual references
Vestibular (RVEST) C5/C1 Question: does sway increase when visual cues are removed and somatosensory cues are inaccurate?
Low scores: poor use of vestibular cues or vestibular cues unavailable

Determination of the six conditions and significance of sensory ratios (1719).

The composite equilibrium score (CES) was calculated by adding the average scores from conditions C1 + C2 + 3 x C3 + 3 x C4+ 3 x C5+ 3 x C6 / 14.

SR, sway-referenced.
