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]
| On Floor | Complain surface ( Foam ) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Condition 1 | Condition 2 | Condition 4 | Condition 5 |
| Feet together on the floor, Arms across the chest. | Feet together on the floor, Arms across the chest. | Feet together on the foam, Arms across the chest. | Feet together on the foam, Arms across the chest. |
| 30-second hold | 30-second hold | 30-second hold | 30-second hold |
| Open eyes | Closed eyes | Open eyes | Closed eyes |
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.
