CLINICAL CORRELATES OF SWAY IN OLD AGE—SENSORY MODALITIES
Abstract
Sway has been measured by Wright's Ataxiameter in 151 frail elderly and five young subjects, and compared with various sensory modalities. There is a close relationship between increased sway and impaired vibration sense in the legs. No correlations emerged with proprioception but this may reflect the imprecision of the test. That neither vision nor vestibular deprivation correlated with sway confirms the place of these senses as secondary in the maintenance of posture. Vestibular impairment was found in only 6% of the elderly subjects, by tilt test--and these were the very old. There was a limited relationship between falls in the past year and both sway and proprioception.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
