MCQ-Balance: a method to monitor patients with balance disorders and improve clinical interpretation of posturography.BACKGROUND
 In this study, we evaluate the use of the MCQ-Balance (Measure, Classify and Qualify) assessment for examining a patient's balance progression using tests to measure static balance control and dynamic postural balance with a stabilometric platform.


 The MCQ-Balance assessment comprises three stages:  Balance progression was measured using the MCQ-Balance assessment over the course of three months, and these results were compared with the assessment of a clinical expert.


 The MCQ-Balance assessment showed an accuracy of 83.4% and a Cohen's Kappa coefficient of 0.752 compared to the assessment of a clinical expert.


 The MCQ-Balance assessment facilitates the monitoring of patient balance and provides objective information that has the potential to improve medical decision making and the adjustment of individual treatment.
