The Fukuda Stepping Test: A Simple Tool for Vestibular Assessment

Complaints of dizziness and a feeling of unsteadiness in visually complex environments, such as in grocery stores, during traffic, and among crowds, are frequent in patients suffering from vestibular disorders. One explanation for this is the higher reliance on visual information in these patients for postural orientation. The fear and anxiety associated with these daily life scenarios often lead to avoidance behaviour, which in turn increases the sensitivity to it. It is hig

Limits of Stability is a functional and gold-standard test in balance assessment, widely used by clinicians and researchers to evaluate dynamic balance control and fall risk. This method measures how far and how well a person can shift their center of pressure (CoP) within their base of support, critical for maintaining balance during daily activities. It is essential for identifying postural control deficits, predicting fall risks, and tracking patient progress in neurologic

This beginner-friendly guide explains how force, pressure, and dynamic platforms turn invisible sway into clear numbers, why terms like posturography and foot-pressure maps matter, and how Sensing Future technology helps clinicians cut fall risk and speed rehabilitation.

Limits of stability Limits of Stability are a concept defined as the points at which the center of gravity approaches the limits of the base of support. In other words, it is defined as the maximum distance a person can displace the center of pressure (CoP) by leaning the body within the base of support without having to take a step, without losing balance (Tomita et al., 2021). The range of displacement in the anterior directions is around 6º to 8º, in a mediolateral displa

Balance and Stability – Sagittal Goal: To improve postural control, while trying to distribute body weight equally on both feet to reach a stable (balance) position. Balance and Stability - Sagittal Exercise Interface Balance and Stability - Sagittal Exercise Parameters Definition of exercise’s parameters: Tolerance: 15% - Tolerance is the weight percentage margin allowed so that the indicator remains green.

Part II - Balance Assessment with PhysioSensing PhysioSensing has 12 assessment protocols that measure balance through COP displacement. Below, you can see our evidence-based recommendation of which PhysioSensing assessment protocols are adequate for each balance dimension within the neurologic disorder’s context.
