Popis: The changes in angulation of the shoulders while stepping in patients with unilateral peripheral vestibular disorders were mesured by POLGON and relationship between them and deviations in the Fukuda's stepping test were analyzed.The ratio of average angular change of the shoulder on the affected side to that of the contralateral shoulder was increased in patients with marked deviations in Fukuda's test. There were a significant correlation between the abovementioned ratio and the angle of rotation in Fukuda's stepping test.The coefficient of variation (C.V.) of the changes of shoulder angulation tended to be increased on the affected side, while no correlation was obtained between the ratio of the C.V. on the affected side to that on the intact side one and the angle of deviation.These results suggest that the differences bet-ween the angulation of the shoulders while stepping are closely related to the results of Fukuda's test.
