AI Article Synopsis
- Patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) often experience balance and proprioception issues, raising their fall risk.
- A new method for quickly and non-invasively assessing balance and posture is introduced, using easily accessible equipment and needing minimal staffing.
- This assessment allows for repeated testing to track changes in balance and posture over time due to factors like disease progression, aging, or exercise interventions.
Article Abstract
Patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) frequently suffer from poor balance and proprioception and are at an increased risk for falls. Here we present a means of assessing a variety of balance and postural conditions in a fast and non-invasive manner. The equipment required is commercially available and requires limited personnel. Patients can be repeatedly tested to determine balance and postural differences as a result of disease progression and aging, or a reversal following balance/exercise interventions.

Context: Sensorimotor impairments are common sequela following concussion, but recovery following a concussion is often determined through examiner scored clinical testing. There are emerging technologies that provide objective methods to determine physiological impairment after concussion, but the psychometrics of these tools are lacking and must be established for use in clinical practice.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability and provide reliable change estimates in healthy young adults for outcomes from 3 emerging technologies providing objective assessments of sensorimotor function in healthy young adults.
