Purpose[edit | edit source]

It is used for balance analysis and to determine the dependence of the individual on all sensory systems ( vision, vestibular and somatosensory ) which maintain balance.[1] geriatric patient, vestibular disorders, stroke

Technique[edit | edit source]

Each condition is tested 3 times.

Composite sway is the mean sway speed averaged over the 4 conditions.

Although visual examination of amplitude and speed of sway is used as a measure in the CTSIB, testing with the Modified CTSIB on the Balance Master uses dual force platforms to measure amplitude, direction, and speed of movement of a person's centre of pressure.

This sway index is based on the clinician’s opinion of how well the subject was able to balance during the m-CTSIB.
