Precision of the stabilometer for medical use

Abstract

　Purpose: It was registered Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) in 1987 by JSER, and the stabilometry was authorized as stabilometer examination in 1994.
　A medical stabilometer came to be used as an examination of stabilometry unrest widely afterwards in the clinical state.
　However, a certain thing of the data that stabilometry data did not match a clinical evidence came to be pointed out. We examined it in a Diagnosis Standardization Committee from six years ago and this time performed precision inspection.
　Method: Stabilometer with JIS (Japan Industrial Standard) was performed precision inspection for equipments of two companies (A company and B company, and a tentative name) which is sold now stabilometry about a total of six sets in each company.
　Result: Although three apparatus of the A company were the products in alignment with JIS, apparatus of B company were not within JIS.
　Conclusion: In Japan Society for Equilibrium Research, when using a stabilometer for a clinical examination or research, since the accuracy of inspection data is the most important, use of JIS equipment is recommended.
