ABSTRACT:
Methods and Devices are provided for evaluating among the trunk and limbs of the body the distribution of impairments of two types of abilities necessary for posture and equilibrium control: (1) ability to receive and correctly interpret somatosensory orientation and movement information derived from those body and limb parts in contact with supporting surfaces and (2) ability to coordinate the muscular contractions in those body and limb parts in contact with a supporting surface to execute functionally effective postural movements. In accordance with some embodiments, individuals may be classified in accordance with their performance of a Sense Test Procedure and a Motor Test Procedure, which may be implemented using an appropriate displacable support surface arrangement.
