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.

ComparisonShort explanation for functional relevance

Somatosensory system (SOM)QuotientPatient's ability to use input from the somatosensory system to maintain balance
SOT2/SOT1
Visual system (VIS)QuotientPatient's ability to use input from the visual system to maintain balance
SOT4/SOT1
Vestibular system (VEST)QuotientPatient's ability to use input from the vestibular system to maintain balance
SOT5/SOT1
Visual preference (PREF)QuotientThe degree to which a patient relies on visual information to maintain balance, even when the information is incorrect.
SOT3+SOT6/SOT2+SOT5
