“…CDP was developed by Nashner (18) and has been a standard for evaluating balance control (19). It is a method that allows the estimation of the relative contribution of somatosensory, vestibular and visual inputs to the balance.…”

“…Using a movable support surface it is possible to assess the contribution of the visual system, the somatosensory system and the vestibular system during individual response to balance perturbations. Dynamic platform posturography also uses Romberg's tests, but test conditions in which the platform and visual environment are moved to reduce the subject's ability to use visual and somatosensory information for balance were specified (Black et al 1983;Nashner & Peters 1990). …”

“…The sensitivity of posturography in therapeutic interventions varies greatly among authors and insufficient methodological details are reported in papers to reach standardized protocols (Asai et al 1993;Black & Wall 1981;Black et al 1983;Hamid et al 1991;Nashner & Peters 1990;Voorhees 1989). …”

“…Flexibility was evaluated with the sit and reach test (Flex-tester; Novel Products, Rockton, IL) 25 and by measuring passive ankle range of motion. 26 Sensory integrity and balance were evaluated with the modified total neuropathy score (mTNS) 27 and computerized dynamic posturography (sensory organization test, Smart Equitest; NeuroCom, Clackamas, OR), 28 respectively. Muscular strength assessments included isometric sitting hand grip (kg) 29 and isokinetic knee extension (Newton-meters [Nm]/kg at 60 and 300°/s) and ankle dorsiflexion (Nm/kg at 30°/s and 90°/s) measures (Biodex System III, Shirley NY).…”

• Elimination of cranial radiation from therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia has improved bodycomposition outcomes.• Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated without cranial radiation remain at risk for impaired fitness.There is limited information on body composition, energy balance, and fitness among survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), especially those treated without cranial radiation therapy (CRT). This analysis compares these metrics among 365 ALL survivors with a mean age of 28.6 6 5.9 years (149 treated with and 216 without CRT) and 365 age-, sex-, and race-matched peers. We also report risk factors for outcomes among survivors treated without CRT. Male survivors not exposed to CRT had abnormal body composition when compared with peers (% body fat, 26.2 6 8.2 vs 22.7 6 7.1). Survivors without CRT had similar energy balance but had significantly impaired quadriceps strength (221.9 6 6.0 Newton-meters [Nm]/kg, 60°/s) and endurance (211.4 6 4.6 Nm/kg, 300°/s), exercise capacity (22.0 6 2.1 ml/kg per minute), low-back and hamstring flexibility (24.7 6 1.6 cm), and dorsiflexion range of motion (23.1 6 0.9°) and higher modified total neuropathy scores (11.6 6 1.1) than peers. Cumulative asparaginase dose ‡120 000 IU/m 2 was associated with impaired flexibility, vincristine dose ‡39 mg/m 2 with peripheral neuropathy, glucocorticoid (prednisone equivalent) dose ‡8000 mg/m 2 with hand weakness, and intrathecal methotrexate dose ‡225 mg with dorsiflexion weakness. Physical inactivity was associated with hand weakness and decreased exercise capacity. Smoking was associated with peripheral neuropathy. Elimination of CRT from ALL therapy has improved, but not eliminated, body-composition outcomes. Survivors remain at risk for impaired fitness. (Blood. 2015;125(22):3411-3419)
