Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical values of Sensory Organization Test (SOT) of dynamic posturography in the diagnosis of peripheral vertigo.Methods A total of 112 patients with peripheral vertigo were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients firstly underwent the inspection of SOT followed by caloric test.The results were conducted a comparative analysis.Assessments of SOT evaluated the patient's effective use of visual,vestibular,and somatosensory information for balance control during a variety of changing task conditions.The unilateral weakness was selected as assessment parameter of caloric test.Fourty-two healthy subjects were selected as control group underwent the dynamic posturography.Results Among the 42 cases of control group,results of SOT in dynamic posturography were normal.The SOT composite scores owned a significant difference between control and peripheral vertigo subjects.Among the 112 cases with peripheral vertigo,results of SOT in dynamic posturography were abnormal in 37 cases,with a sensitivity of 33.0％;caloric test was abnormal in 72 cases,with a sensitivity of 64.3％.There existed a significant difference between dynamic posturography and caloric test.Conclusion SOT is a key test in dynamic posturography that reflects the balance reconstruction after peripheral injury,and provides information about the integration and proportion of the visual,proprioceptive,and vestibular components of balance.
