The Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance (mCTSIB) EXPLAINED

The video tutorial explains the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (CAT), focusing on how to conduct the test and interpret its results. The test assesses which sensory system is impaired, affecting a patient's balance. It involves four conditions, each testing different sensory inputs: vision, vestibular, and proprioception. The tutorial provides detailed instructions for each condition and discusses how to interpret failures in the test, suggesting treatments to improve balance by focusing on the compromised sensory system.
