Abstract

Body Tracking Test (BTT) is a testing method of the dynamic body balance function wherein movement of the center of gravity in accordance with a moving visual target stimulus is examined to evaluate the tracking function of the body.<br>The objects were the patients who were diagnosed as having vestibular neuronitis at the Department of Otolaryngology in Toho University medical center Sakura hospital, and were undergoing hospital treatment.<br>Lateral BTT was performed in 31 subjects, and antero-posterior (A-P) BTT in 45 subjects.<br>Although gaze nystagmus was noted, inspection was enforced when a standing position posture was possible.<br>In lateral BTT, the average (cm/second) horizontal direction body sway speed was compared, however, no clear lateral difference was noted.<br>In the antero-posterior (A-P) BTT, it inquired using the direction body sway average center displacement (cm) of X. Deviation was seen by the affected side in stabilometry. Deviation was seen by the unaffected side in the antero-posterior (A-P) BTT.<br>This phenomenon differs from the deviation pattern until now and is considered to involve participation of the higher centers.
