About

A computerised dynamic posturography (CDP) test is designed to show problems with balance. At HCA UK, we use the SMART EquiTest System — the gold standard in balance assessment. You'll be asked to maintain your balance on a moving platform, while the CDP works out how your eyes, inner ear, muscles and joints work to keep you upright. It can also be used to guide your balance, for neurological injuries and for vestibular treatment, following a problem with your inner ear. 

Need to know

  • What happens icon plus

    You will be asked to step onto a platform, where you'll be fitted with a safety harness. The platform will start to move and sensors on the platform will measure how well you keep your balance. You may need to undergo a number of tests. Some may be conducted with your eyes open and closed and others may replicate conditions you face every day.

  • How to prepare icon plus

    No preparation is needed for this test.

  • Afterwards icon plus

    After the test, a physiotherapist will analyse the data from the CDP. They will determine whether your eyes, joint and muscles or inner ear are responsible for your balance problems. Your physiotherapist will use this information, plus additional assessments, to devise a specialised rehabilitation programme.
