title: [Posturography in peripheral vestibular pathology. Its contribution in the functional diagnosis and rehabilitation therapy].
abstract: Vestibulospinal examination has been neglected in the evaluation of vertigo. The clinical experience gives a loft of evidence that this level of balance function is very important. Even in peripheral cases, this function may be disturbed as has been shown by a systematical application of posturography. In this way the pattern of balance dysfunction can be characterized in a more thorough way. The data obtained by posturography, and especially during follow-up, allow to adapt the rehabilitation exercises in order to reach more efficiency.
