Introduction: An aphysiological pattern in computerized
dynamic posturography (CDP) may be produced by numerous
causes. We analyze the results obtained in this test
by a group of malingering patients.
Patients and method: This study analyzes a particular
group of 7 malingerers, ie patients simulating a false and
unreal equilibrium disorder, without any a priori awareness
of the gain expected from a pathological report. The condition
can only be identified with the very complex postural
disorder known as “continuous imbalance.” We analyze the
results of the dynamic posturography test following the
diagnostic criteria described by other authors.
Results: Of the criteria analyzed, we found Cevette’s to be
the most frequently positive for our study group.
Conclusions: The wide diversity in the criteria used makes
it necessary to apply them together, assuming a high level
of suspicion and great care in the diagnostic process
