The Sensory Organization Test (SOT) is a widely used clinical tool designed to assess balance and postural control by evaluating how individuals use sensory inputs to maintain stability. Despite its popularity, questions remain about how consistently practitioners apply SOT categorisation and whether these categories accurately reflect the underlying postural sway patterns. A 2001 study by Brauner, Humphreys, and Warren addressed these concerns by examining the validity and r

A Brief Review of Brauner, Humphreys & Warren (AECC, 2001) In 2001, a student research project at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) explored a clinically important question: Is Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) categorization valid and reliable when evaluated against postural sway? The study — Brauner S (student), Humphreys K (tutor), Warren M (tutor). Validity and reliability of SOT categorization for postural sway. AECC Project List, 2001 — investigated wheth
