The effects of acoustic and optokinetic stimulus on the postural stability
Objectives This article addresses the question of whether the simultaneous auditory and optokinetic stimulation affects the postural stability differently than only the stimulation with a single auditory or optokinetic stimulus.

The clinical utility of posturography
Postural instability and falls are common and devastating features of ageing and many neurological, visual, vestibular or orthopedic disorders. Current management of these problems is hampered by the subjective and variable nature of the available clinical balance measures. In this narrative review, we discuss the clinical utility of posturography as a

Posturographic findings and reports of falls in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment: a comparative study [PDF]
Abstract Background Changes in the connections between the cortical regions responsible for integrating balance are observed in individuals with MCI, however, studies that clarify the association of these changes and the risk of falling due to body imbalance are still rare.
