Curtis is being seen in a center for low vision and balance for an evaluation using the CTSIB protocol. The patient is found to become increasingly unstable when the eyes are blindfolded on level ground and when the dome is placed over the head while the foam is used. Given the prior information, which of the following conclusions is the MOST accurate?  

A. The patient is dependent on the somatosensory system only 

B. The patient is dependent on all three systems 

C. The patient is dependent on vision only 

D. The patient is dependent on the vestibular system but lacks pain, temperature, and vibration sensation
