Description

A balance function test assesses inner ear and neurological causes of dizziness, unsteadiness, or fall risk—patients in China can arrange hospital booking and interpreter support through ChinaMedicalHub for ¥70–150.

Main Uses

The primary purpose of balance function testing is to assess an individual's ability to maintain equilibrium under various conditions. It is used in diagnosing and monitoring vestibular disorders, evaluating the risk of falls in elderly patients, assessing recovery after neurological injuries, and as part of rehabilitation programs for individuals with balance impairments.

Normal Range

Balance function tests do not have a single numerical range but are evaluated based on several indicators. Commonly, these include the ability to stand still with eyes open and closed, walking in a straight line, and the Romberg test. Normal performance is characterized by minimal sway, steady gait, and no significant loss of balance.

Low Values - Possible Causes

Vestibular disorders, peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness, cerebellar ataxia, and certain neurological conditions

High Values - Possible Causes

Balance function tests typically do not yield 'high' values; abnormal results usually indicate poor balance or instability. Conditions leading to such outcomes can include inner ear infections, brain injuries, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and side effects from medications.
