NeuroEquilibrium Computerized Stabilometry provides a comprehensive and reliable method for evaluating and improving postural control, aiding in effective diagnosis and treatment planning for balance disorders.
Posturography is used to evaluate how well a person maintains balance and posture under different conditions. It measures how the body responds to visual, inner-ear, and sensory input while standing. This test helps identify balance disorders, fall risk, and postural instability, and is commonly used in the assessment of vestibular, neurological, and age-related balance problems.
The cost of a posturography test varies based on the type of test and the clinic offering it. In India, it generally ranges from a few thousand to several thousand rupees. At advanced diagnostic centers like Neuroequillibrium, the cost often includes expert interpretation and integration with other vestibular tests for a more accurate diagnosis.
The main types of posturography are static posturography and dynamic posturography. Static posturography measures body sway while standing still, whereas dynamic posturography evaluates balance when visual or surface conditions are altered. Each type provides different insights into how the sensory systems contribute to postural control and stability.
The four types of postural control include static control, dynamic control, anticipatory control, and reactive control. Static control helps maintain posture while standing still, dynamic control manages balance during movement, anticipatory control prepares the body for expected movements, and reactive control helps recover balance after sudden disturbances like slips or pushes.
The main cause of poor posture is prolonged muscle imbalance, often due to sedentary habits, prolonged screen use, and lack of physical activity. Weak core and back muscles, combined with tight neck or shoulder muscles, can gradually alter alignment. Balance-related issues assessed at centers such as Neuroequillibrium can also contribute to postural instability in some individuals.
