Neurocom VSR

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Test-retest reliability has not been previously reported for the instrumented modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (i-mCTSIB) utilizing the Neurocom Very Simple Rehab (VSR) Sport force plate. The VSR Sport is a portable, relatively inexpensive force plate system utilized to assess postural stability in various populations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the test-retest reliability, standard error of measurement (SEM), and minimal detectable change (MDC) of the i-mCTSIB when assessed using the VSR Sport in a sample of healthy, older adults...

Postural sway has been identified as a valid marker for assessing the presence of a concussion and monitoring return to activity progression. Instrumented balance assessments have shown to be more reliable in detecting postural sway. However, many sports medicine programs cannot afford to purchase a force plate system to objectively assess postural sway and changes, which may occur due to a head injury. The purpose of this study was to determine if the C3Logix™ application can detect postural sway with the same degree of accuracy as the VSR Sport™ by NeuroCom®...

Background: A reliable measure of dynamic postural control is needed for inclusion in the sports-related concussion assessment battery. Currently, there is not a clinical gold standard. The Limits of Stability (LOS) test has potential to be a useful tool to collect objective data on important dynamic postural stability variables. Psychometric properties of the LOS test with healthy young adults are yet to be established. Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the intra-session and test-retest reliability for the LOS on the NeuroCom® VSR Sport when performed by young adults...

We aim to analyze in bounds KJ Tracey's immunological homunculus conception the relationships between parameters of electroencephalogram (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV), on the one hand, and the parameters of bhite blood cell count, on the other hand. METHODS: In basal conditions in 23 men, patients with chronic pyelonephritis and cholecystitis in remission, recorded EEG ("NeuroCom Standard", KhAI Medica, Ukraine) and HRV ("Cardiolab+VSR", KhAI Medica, Ukraine). In portion of blood counted up white blood cell count...

CONTEXT: Postural control plays an essential role in concussion evaluation. The Stability Evaluation Test (SET) aims to objectively analyze postural control by measuring sway velocity on the NeuroCom VSR portable force platform (Natus, San Carlos, CA). OBJECTIVE: To assess the test-retest reliability and practice effects of the SET protocol. DESIGN: Cohort. SETTING: Research laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: 50 healthy adults (20 men, 30 women, age 25...

Dancers have a lower incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury compared to athletes in sports that involve cutting and landing motions. Balance can impact ACL injury risk and is related to neuromuscular control during movement. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether balance differences exist among female dancers and female soccer and basketball athletes. Fifty-eight female dancers, soccer, and basketball athletes (16.5 ± 1.6 yrs, 1.6 ± 0.2 m, 60.2 ± 14.1 kg) completed the Stability Evaluation Test (SET) on the NeuroCom VSR Sport (NeuroCom International, Clackamas, OR) to measure sway velocity...

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether patient self-reported handicap correlates with scores obtained from the modified Clinical Test for the Sensory Interaction on Balance as assessed by the Neurocom VSR Balance Master platform. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective observational. SETTING: Balance clinic in tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Patients referred with dizziness or imbalance as their primary complaint. OUTCOME MEASURES: The modified Clinical Test for the Sensory Interaction on Balance scores as assessed by the Neurocom VSR Balance Master platform, the Dizziness Handicap Inventory, and the Health Utilities Index Marks 2 and 3...

OBJECTIVES: To assess the interobserver reliability in assessing postural stability and to compare with results obtained by computerized posturography. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Balance clinic, teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: 81 patients attending with a primary complaint of imbalance. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Inter-rater reliability between two clinicians and the modified Clinical Test for the Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) as assessed by the Neurocom VSR Balance Master platform...

The purpose of this study was to examine the consistency of scores from typically developing children on the sensory test of the NeuroCom International VSR System. Participants included 18 children between five and nine years of age. Postural sway was measured using the VSR System, a computerized platform posturography assessment tool. The sensory test protocol examines the relative contributions of the visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems to maintain postural stability by systematically manipulating the availability and accuracy of sensory inputs...
