S
tatic testing measures the angular excursion of the patient’s center of gravity. Body height must
come into play for static measures. A person’s Center of Gravity (COG) is approximately 55% of
their height. Based on the selected height an appropriate static measure scaling is applied.
Testing provides a baseline for rehabilitation programs as well as balance screening. Good static
testing scores can lead to a progression into more dynamic testing and training. Test formats
i
nclude Postural Stability, Limits of Stability, m-CTSIB and the ability to select previously
constructed custom protocols.
