Pervasive Motor and Balance Difficulties in University Students With Dyslexia
ABSTRACT Previous research suggests that dyslexic university students are unlikely to experience significant co‐occurring motor or balance difficulties and may represent instances of ‘pure’ dyslexia. However, the motor and balance measures used in previous studies have been limited in scope.

Long-term Follow up of Van Nes Rotationplasty for Congenital Proximal Focal Femoral Deficiency [PDF]
Van Nes rotationplasty may be used for patients with congenital proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD). The lower limb is rotated to use the ankle and foot as a functional knee joint within a prosthesis.

Postural control in episodic ataxia type 2: no evidence for increased vestibular excitability
Abstract Background and purpose Patients with episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) suffer from recurrent paroxysmal episodes of vertigo and oscillopsia. Pathophysiologically, altered neuronal excitability has been suspected. Vestibular excitability in 22 EA2 patients and 22 age‐matched healthy participants was compared. Methods Galvanic vestibular stimulation (

Posturographic pattern of patients with chronic subjective dizziness before and after vestibular rehabilitation. [PDF]
Chronic subjective dizziness (CSD) is frequently encountered in neurotology clinics. This diagnosis is mainly clinical, but computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) could be a helpful instrumental tool in the identification of these patients and ...

Assessing Postural Stability Via the Correlation Patterns of Vertical Ground Reaction Force Components [PDF]
Background Many methods have been proposed to assess the stability of human postural balance by using a force plate. While most of these approaches characterize postural stability by extracting features from the trajectory of the center of pressure (COP),

Vestibular Syncope and Acute Peripheral Vestibular Deficit: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Vestibular syncope is a rare condition in which vertigo may cause syncopal attacks; however, the term has been associated with confusion because it has been ascribed to completely different vestibular and neurological conditions, from dizziness to Menière disease (MD), to the neurovegetative symptoms in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo ...
