Categorize the options into the right categories

• SOMATOSENSORY impaired (Condition 3)

• VISION plays a greater role

• Vision impaired (Condition 2)

• VESTIBULAR plays greatest role

• Quiet stance (Condition 1)

• SOMATOSENSORY & VESTIBULAR play a greater role

• Vision & Somatosensory impaired (Con 4)

• All inputs contribute but primary is SOMATOSENSORY
