Somatosensory Disorders Clinical Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Power Plate vibration therapy on balance as measured by the NeuroCom Balance Master.
Acute and chronic equilibrium disorders result in over five million patient visits per year
in the United States with unknown additional individuals not seeking care. Symptoms of
dizziness, vertigo, and lack of balance are among the most common symptoms reported to
physicians. Equilibrium disorders not exclusively due to visual or vestibular conditions are
typically due to problems in proprioception. Proprioception is the specialized sensory
modality that informs the body as to movement, position, and spatial orientation through
mechanisms that track sensations accompanying joint movement and position. Mechanoreceptors
in joints, along with vestibular, visual, muscle spindle, Golgi tendon organ, ligament and
tendon sensory receptors, comprise the propriosensory system, which conveys information to
the motor system to maintain equilibrium on a reflexive, automatic basis. Alterations in
somatosensory input from mechanoreceptors have been identified as causing aberrant muscle
firing patterns.
The NeuroCom Balance Master is an FDA approved device designed to both measure and treat
balance problems and evaluate the neuromuscular control by quantifying the ability to
maintain dynamic postural stability. The NeuroCom Unit is a microprocessor controlled
balance unit that provides quantitative data regarding the patient’s ability to control the
platform. This unit is widely used throughout the country in both university and clinical
settings to help patients restore their balance.
