4. At the Results screen, touch <Print> to automatically generate a printed
report if desired.
1. To save the test data, touch <Save Results> and then touch <OK> in response to the
"Save Results for later reporting or export?" prompt. The system will display "Save
Results Completed" after the results are saved.
2. Another test for the same patient can be performed. Press <Another Test Same Patient>.
Pick desired test from the test selection menu.
3. To return to the Opening Menu from the CTSIB Test Results screen touch <Home>.
4. Note in the results, if a patient could not complete a stage, the stage is noted as "Fell".
The CTSIB presents results in a manner that is easy to understand and communicate.
1. A description of the relationship of the test condition to the sensory system is provided when
the m-CTSIB protocol format of 4 conditions is used. Space limitations preclude the descrip-
tion for 6 conditions. The 4 condition m-CTSIB test is the preferred test protocol anyway.
2. The results are presented relative to the upper limit of the "normal" reference data. Patient
results will either be better, equal to or worse than normal. The higher the Sway Index
score – the more unstable the patient was for the condition. Total instability where they had
to hold onto something or stop is considered a Fall and is noted as Fell in the test results.
3. The number at the midpoint of the scale is the upper limit of the normal score, rounded to
the nearest .25 . For example.
a. Eyes open firm high value is .48. The noted value is .50
b. Eyes closed firm high value is .99. The noted value is 1.0
c. Eyes open foam high value is .71. The noted value is .75
d. Eyes closed foam high value is 2.22. The noted value is 2.25
The end point for the RED zone is three times the mid point. Basically three standard deviations
from the mid point.
