This report evaluates the clinical utility of computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) within rehabilitation settings. The study focuses on CDP's application in assessing and monitoring balance, as well as its role in balance treatment and retraining for specific patient groups. The patient populations examined include those with vestibular disorders or balance deficits stemming from stroke, brain injury, or amputation. Ultimately, the report finds that CDP is not yet a validated technology for the rehabilitation of these conditions, emphasizing the need for established reliability and validity before its adoption in research or clinical practice.

The report concludes that computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) is not an established technology for the rehabilitation of balance deficits associated with stroke, amputation, and brain injury. It highlights that before CDP can be considered for clinical or research use, its reliability and validity must be rigorously established. This validation needs to be specific to the patient populations of interest and must demonstrate a clear relationship between CDP measurements and the performance of daily living activities. The findings suggest a need for further research to solidify CDP's place in these rehabilitation fields.
