Description
Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) is a special test to check balance and how well you stand.

This test uses CDP to look for balance problems and issues with the inner ear that can affect how well you stand. You stand on a platform with sensors, while the surface and what you look at are changed, making it harder to stay balanced. The test checks how you respond to these changes, and gives important details about your balance.
