The diagnosis of central vestibular disorders based on the complementary examination of the vestibulospinal reflex

Stance and gait unsteadiness along with vertigo contribute to a central vestibular disorder. For objective analysis ultrasound-computer-craniocorpography (US-COMP-CCG) can be used.

Description
Summary:Stance and gait unsteadiness along with vertigo contribute to a central vestibular disorder. For objective analysis ultrasound-computer-craniocorpography (US-COMP-CCG) can be used. Aim of the study was to characterize the unsteadiness in central vestibular disorders and discuss the possible diagnostic usage of US-COMP-CCG. Hundred-and-ninety patients (70 male and 120 female, mean age ± SD, 58.94 ± 15.27) suffering from central vestibular disorder and 230 healthy control patients (78 male and 152 female, mean age ± SD, 50.94 ± 15.27) were enrolled. Stance and gait analysis was according to vestibulospinal tests of US-COMPCCG. IBM SPSS V24 software was used for statistical analysis. Mann-WhitneyU test and Chi-square test were used, along with sensitivity and specificity categorization. The significance level was p
