Abstract
Summary:
Vertigo is one of the most frightening symptoms of the human’s life. Cranio-corpo-graphy was designed firstly as a non-electronic, simple office recording procedure for head and body movements. The regular cranio-corpo-graphy procedure combines a stepping test (Unterberger, Fukuda) with a standing test (Romberg).
The main parameters for evaluating the standing test cranio-corpo-grams are the longitudinal sway in cm, the lateral sway in cm, the torticollis angle in degree. For direct inspection and evaluation of the test results we have designed three specific charts, the radar image, 3-dimensional Cartesian Body Projection, and time related position measurement. Authors show typical charts of the normal and pathological vestibulospinal function. Cranio-corpo-graphy is useful test, capable of broadly differentiating cases into central, peripheral, combined and undifferentiated pathologies. Authors recommend for the topodiagnosis of vestibular disorders using electronystagmography and cranio-corpo-graphy together.
