Trained ballet dancers and nondancer controls completed six balance tests using computerized dynamic posturography. The tests facilitated assessment of the type of sensory organization used to maintain postural control under conditions ranging from quiet standing to a situation in which visual and/or somatosensory information was systematically removed or made unreliable. Results indicated that ballet dancers and controls have comparable balance ability during eyes open and eyes closed conditions. However, when somatosensory information alone or in combination with visual information was made unreliable, dancers were significantly less stable than controls and utilized a hip strategy to maintain postural control.
