Clinical Study
Investigation of Balance Function Using Dynamic Posturography under Electrical-Acoustic Stimulation in Cochlear Implant Recipients
Table 1
Algorithms for calculating the individual components of balance (visual, somatosensory, vestibular, and visual preference) and short explanation.
| | Comparison | Short explanation for functional relevance |
| Somatosensory system (SOM) | Quotient | Patient's ability to use input from the somatosensory system to maintain balance | SOT2/SOT1 | Visual system (VIS) | Quotient | Patient's ability to use input from the visual system to maintain balance | SOT4/SOT1 | Vestibular system (VEST) | Quotient | Patient's ability to use input from the vestibular system to maintain balance | SOT5/SOT1 | Visual preference (PREF) | Quotient | The degree to which a patient relies on visual information to maintain balance, even when the information is incorrect. | SOT3+SOT6/SOT2+SOT5 |
