Abstract

The apparatus consists of a support surface (11) on which the subject (10) stands erect. The surface (11) is rotatable around an axis (12) co-linear with the ankle joints and rests on vertical force transducers (13), the signals from which are monitored by the computer (14). The subject's field of view is substantially surrounded by an enclosure (15) which is also rotatable about the axis (12). The computer (14) controls the stimulator (18) of the inner ear vestibular system and monitors any resulting change in posture of the subject, moving the support as necessary. The computer then calculates whether or not the stimulus produces correlated and significant increases in one or more of the measured variables.
