Characteristics of body sway in patients with peripheral vestibular disorders. 1979

K Taguchi

Measuring the movement of the body's center of gravity during standing with the eyes open and with the eyes closed, proved to be a useful test in vestibular investigation. 30 patients with peripheral vestibular disorders were tested using a static sensonograph and a digital computer. Three types of locus patterns, the lateral deviation of the averaged position and two types of frequency spectral patterns obtained from the movement of the center of gravity were the characteristics of the body sway in the patients with peripheral vestibular disorders.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007759 Labyrinth Diseases Pathological processes of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) which contains the essential apparatus of hearing (COCHLEA) and balance (SEMICIRCULAR CANALS). Inner Ear Disease,Ear Disease, Inner,Ear Diseases, Inner,Inner Ear Diseases,Labyrinth Disease
D009068 Movement The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior. Movements
D011187 Posture The position or physical attitude of the body. Postures
D004856 Postural Balance A POSTURE in which an ideal body mass distribution is achieved. Postural balance provides the body carriage stability and conditions for normal functions in stationary position or in movement, such as sitting, standing, or walking.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D014722 Vestibule, Labyrinth An oval, bony chamber of the inner ear, part of the bony labyrinth. It is continuous with bony COCHLEA anteriorly, and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS posteriorly. The vestibule contains two communicating sacs (utricle and saccule) of the balancing apparatus. The oval window on its lateral wall is occupied by the base of the STAPES of the MIDDLE EAR.
