1. A system for detecting errors in balance related screening tests, the system comprising:

  • a force-plate for measuring forces applied by a subject to determine a quantity related to a balance task performed by the subject in trials under a plurality of distinct sensory conditions; and

    a computation device in communication with the force-plate, the computational device(i) receiving the quantity related to the balance task for each trial,(ii) determining a rank order for the quantities, each quantity for each trial being associated with a rank, and(iii) determining if any of the ranks associated with a given one of the trials has fallen outside a reference range associated with the given trial performed under error-free conditions.
