Spectral Composition of Body Sway in Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness

Conclusions:

We conclude that PPPD patients exhibit a time domain sway pattern in different conditions which is grossly similar to that of controls. However, sensory feedback conditions with equal sway area show unique differences in their spectral content in PPPD patients. Moreover, perceived severity of dizziness is associated with greater body oscillations in the middle frequency band.
