Description

The Posture platform for computerised diagnosis of balance
disorders and biofeedback training from German manufac-
turer Otopront

The system performs analysis using the Romberg test and
the Unterberger’s walking test.

The LUCERNE MEASURING PLATE allows a convenient
diagnosis of balance disorders without subjecting the patient
to undue stress. Postural instability is analysed with the aid of
a computer providing objective information on functional
vestibular deficiency. Individual plans for training with the
LUCERNE MEASURING PLATE can then be drawn up, based
on these findings.

The special software allows each measurement parameter to
be set individually. In addition to routine posturographic
applications in line with Romberg’s test involving
distance-time curves, lateral, anterior and posterior
components, Romberg’s quotient and Dichgans’ histogram,
the software provides comprehensive analysis of Unterberg-
er’s walking experiment. Results of angle of rotation and
frequency analysis (FFT) are also displayed in diagrammatic
and numerical form.
