POSTURAL STABILITY BY COMPUTERIZED POSTUROGRAPHY IN MINOR HEAD TRAUMA

Mild head injuries are very common among young children. Often, these injuries are followed by a variety of subjective complaints termed pos ttraumatic syndrome. Posturography (balance test) was performed immedi ately after the trauma in 21 children who had sustained mild head inju ry, Significant difference in performance was observed in head-injured children in all subparts of the test as compared with a control group , We conclude that posturography may serve as a simple cost-effective method in qualifying the posttraumatic imbalance.
