Abstract
A new multi-dimensional quantitative ataxia test battery employing the “rail method” of testing was developed to assess more precisely than heretofore postural equilibrium-disequilibrium under unusual conditions and stresses such as rotating environments. Validity of the standardized test procedures in the laboratory, in the field, and in clinical situations was demonstrated, and present and future uses of the Test Battery in normals and auricular-involved individuals in vestibular research as well as in related research-clinical areas -were outlined.Keywords
