Summary

Using a statokinesimeter which records displacements of the center of gravity, the reactions of the postural balance were registred. A test battery with the Romberg-test, the Tandem-Romberg, and two performances on a tilting table is presented. The different gradings of the test battery can be used for quantification of the severity of vestibular disturbances. The findings in 117 healthy persons were compared to those in 46 patients with vestibular disorders. It is suggested that clinical application of this method may be useful. The influence of age, height, and weight is demonstrated.

Zusammenfassung

Eine als Kippbühnenstehtest bezeichnete Testreihe enthält drei statische Stehübungen auf einer Force-Platform und zwei dynamostatische Stehversuche auf einer Kippbühne. Die verschiedenen Schwierigkeitsgrade der Teste erlauben eine gewisse quantitative Aussage über das Ausmaß einer vestibulospinalen Störung. Eine Gegenüberstellung der Untersuchungsergebnisse von 117 normalen und 46 kranken Personen belegt, daß die Methode für die Objektivierung von Gleichgewichtsstörungen geeignet ist. Alter, Körpergröße und Körpergewicht beeinflussen die Meßwerte, wobei die Gewichtsabhängigkeit dominiert.
