description | Balanced posture without dizziness is achieved via harmonious coordination of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. Specific frequency bands of center of pressure (COP) signals during quiet standing are closely related to the sensory inputs of the sensorimotor system. In this study, we proposed a deep learning-based novel protocol using the COP signal frequencies to estimate the equilibrium score (ES), a sensory system contribution. Sensory organization test was performed with normal controls (n=125), patients with Meniere’s disease (n=72) and vestibular neuritis (n=105). The COP signals preprocessed via filtering, detrending and augmenting during quiet standing were converted to frequency domains utilizing Short-time Fourier Transform. Four different types of CNN backbone including GoogleNet, ResNet-18, SqueezeNet, and VGG16 were trained and tested using the frequency transformed data of COP and the ES under conditions #2 to #6. Additionally, the 100 original output classes (1 to 100 ESs) were encoded into 50, 20, 10 and 5 sub-classes to improve the performance of the prediction model. Absolute difference between the measured and predicted ES was about 1.7 (ResNet-18 with encoding of 20 sub-classes). The average error of each sensory analysis calculated using the measured ES and predicted ES was approximately 1.0%. The results suggest that the sensory system contribution of patients with dizziness can be quantitatively assessed using only the COP signal from a single test of standing posture. This study has potential to reduce balance testing time (spent on six conditions with three trials each in sensory organization test) and the size of computerized dynamic posturography (movable visual surround and force plate), and helps achieve the widespread application of the balance assessment. |
