Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction for Balance (CTSIB)

The Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction for Balance (CTSIB) evaluates how well a person maintains balance by assessing the combined effects of vision, inner ear balance (vestibular system), and proprioception (touch and movement sense). During the test, individuals stand in different conditions—such as with eyes open or closed, and on stable or foam surfaces—to see how these sensory systems work together or compensate when one is impaired. The results help identify which sensory inputs may be contributing to balance issues, guiding targeted treatment or rehabilitation strategies.
