AHFMR Report - HTA 7. 1998 Authors' objectives Determination of the efficacy and/or effectiveness of CDP in providing quantitative information which may assist rehabilitation therapists in the assessment and treatment of patients with balance and postural control deficits associated with stroke, brain injury or amputation. The intent is to use this information in a funding decision.
Authors' conclusions CDP is not an established technology in the rehabilitation of vestibular and/or balance and control deficits associated with stroke, brain injury and amputation. Although CDP is a "promising" technology further research is required. Before it is considered for any use, research or clinical, its reliability and validity must be established for the specified patient population of interest and the determination of the relationship of these measurements to the activities of daily living.
