Abstract Background Few tools exist for quantifying locomotor stability in balance impaired populations. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a technique for quantifying stability of stepping in healthy people and people with peripheral vestibular hypofunction VH and central cerebellar pathology CB balance dysfunction by means a sensory auditory perturbation test. Methods Balance impaired and healthy subjects performed a repeated bench stepping task. The perturbation was applied by suddenly changing the cadence of the metronome 100 beat min to 80 beat min at a predetermined time but unpredictable by the subject during the trial. Perturbation response was quantified by computing the Euclidian distance expressed as a .
