Effect of Repetitive Administration of a Next-generation Sensory Organization Test in Adults With and Without Vestibular Dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Hypothesis

The overall aim was to assess the effects of repetitive testing on performance on a next-generation Sensory Organization Test (NG-SOT).

Background

The psychometric properties of sensory organization assessment with a next-generation posturography device are not fully characterized. Thus, a better understanding of the reliability of the NG-SOT is required to support its use as an outcome measure.

Methods

Forty adults (20 vestibular-impaired) participated. Test-retest reliability was determined using the interclass correlation coefficient [ICC (3,1)] for the composite, somatosensory, vision, vestibular, and visual preference scores. Learning effects were assessed by analyzing the change in the composite score over time.

Results

Analyzing the NG-SOT sco
