A female presented with a dizziness. She stated that she has been suffering from it for 2 years. She visted several doctors including "dizziness specialist" and had special studies such as VNG, caloric, MRI imagings. All of the results were "normal" and she was told that she did not have any abnormality by those doctors. However, her symptoms got worse and worse over the years and she went back to the hospital and was told the same thing again. She stated that no one believed she was actually suffering from the dizziness. 

 

We perfromed the computerized dynamic posturography and the resut is shown on the right first image. The bar graphs indicate her sway velocity of COG (center of gravity). The higher the number, the more sway she had. Red color indicated that it is abnormal in her age group. We could clearly see the abnormality of her balance and COG. She was unable to close her eyes without falling. 

 

Based on our finginds of examinations, we built the treatment plan for this patient to improve her deficient neurological function. Rehabilitation included brainstem, cerebellar stimulation, vestibular rehabilitation, eye exercises. The patient responded very quickly and she felpt better immediately following the therapies.

 

On next day, we performed the exact same balance testing using the computerized dunamic posturography. The result is shown on the right second image. The result showed significant improvements on balance and COG. The COG sway velocity is much lower, meaning more stable. The green bar graph indicated that she's in normal range in her age group. She was able to close her eyes without falling.
