Quantification of postural stability in minimally disabled multiple sclerosis patients by means of dynamic posturography: an observational study.

Not-perturbed tests showed lower sensitivity than perturbed ones in the identification of equilibrium impairments in minimally disabled MS patients. However, not-perturbed tests allow to better evaluate the influence of visual flow disturbances on balance control in MS. In conclusion, our findings proved that the use of the novel tests based on a 3DOF mechatronic device represents an effective tool to investigate early balance disturbances in MS.
