Abstract

Date Presented 03/28/20

The EASI is a new, comprehensive assessment of sensory, motor, and praxis functions. In order to enhance clinical utility within pediatric practices, concurrent and construct validity of the vestibular and proprioceptive tests were examined. Results showed that the EASI is a valid measure of vestibular and proprioceptive constructs.
