Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance

The Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance (CSIB) assesses how well your body uses different senses—vision, inner ear balance, and touch—to stay upright. During the test, you might stand with your eyes open or closed on different surfaces, such as firm or foam. The goal is to see how these sensory inputs work together to maintain your balance. It helps identify if any particular sense isn't functioning properly, which can contribute to balance problems or dizziness. Overall, it provides valuable information for diagnosing and planning treatment for balance disorders.
