Posturography techniques to identify balance problems in elderly individuals with vestibulopathy – a comparison study [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology
Objective: To compare the postugraphic outcomes of two different methods in four basic postural conditions. Methods: The individuals with vestibular disorders were divided into two subgroups according to their age: more than 60-years old and aged between

The clinical utility of posturography [PDF]

Clinical Neurophysiology, 2008
Postural instability and falls are common and devastating features of ageing and many neurological, visual, vestibular or orthopedic disorders. Current management of these problems is hampered by the subjective and variable nature of the available clinical balance measures. In this narrative review, we discuss the clinical utility of posturography as a

Critical evaluation of the benefits and limitations of foam posturography in vestibular disorders: a narrative review [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
This review synthesises current evidence on the clinical utility of foam-based posturography in the assessment of vestibular pathologies. It critically evaluates: (1) the physiological mechanisms underlying foam posturography and its capacity to ...

A New Wearable System for Postural Balance Assessment: Comparison with EquiTest and Static Posturography in Healthy Adults [PDF]

Audiology Research
Background: Objective assessment of postural control is central to the clinical evaluation of vestibular disorders. Although force-platform-based posturography is considered the gold standard, its use may be limited by cost and infrastructural ...

Sex and age differences of postural control in community-dwelling older adults [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
ObjectiveForce platforms are widely used to assess postural stability and fall risk in older adults. However, traditional parameters often capture overlapping phenomena and fail to fully reflect underlying control mechanisms.

Body Sway Characteristics During Static Upright Position Following Systematic Balance Training in Older Adults [PDF]

Rehabilitacja Medyczna, 2022
Introduction: Postural stability is important to control the bodys position in space and for daily life activities, as increased postural sway increases the risk of falls, and is related to injuries and morbidity in older adults.Objective: The aim of the

Posturography with head movements in the assessment of balance in chronic unilateral vestibular lesions

Scientific Reports, 2021
The aim of our study was to validate the method of head-shake static posturography (HS-posturography) in healthy individuals and to establish the value of this novel method in the diagnostics of patients with unilateral vestibular lesion (UV).

Radiological and functional assessment in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Although patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) may have impaired postural control, current diagnosis of LSS depends mainly on clinical manifestation and radiological assessment, while functional assessment of postural balance remains less
