Computerized dynamic posturography: What have we learned from space?

F O Black et al. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1998 Mar.

Abstract

Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) has been under development since 1970. Several reviews summarize key basic and clinical research studies and outline important clinical uses of CDP along with research applications. This report summarizes new information about the otolith control of posture obtained from the study of astronauts. The dynamics of recovery of postural control upon return from orbital flight provide insight to the peripheral vestibular and central nervous system components of vestibular compensation. The dynamics of postural compensation should aid the clinician in the diagnosis and management of imbalance of vestibular origin.
