Validity and Responsiveness of Balance Measurements Using Posturography in Patients With Immune‐Mediated Neuropathies [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Validated objective measures for balance in immune mediated neuropathies are lacking. In this study, we investigated the clinimetric properties of posturography using a force platform, a quantitative assessment of postural control.

Balance Assessment on a Modified Posturomed Platform in Healthy Dogs [PDF]
Reliable, standardized balance tests for dogs are not available yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of static and dynamic posturography in healthy dogs. Healthy dogs (n = 20) were positioned with four paws longitudinally and

Assessment of static posturography and pedobarography for the detection of unilateral forelimb lameness in ponies [PDF]
Background: Static posturography and pedobarography are based on the detection of postural imbalance and, consequently, the pressure redistribution between limbs in lame subjects. These techniques have proven to be useful for the detection of lameness in

High Rate of Postural Blindness in Patients With Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease: A Clinical Observation [PDF]
Background: Patients affected by idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (IPD) are known to have difficulties in sensorial integration. The ratio of the postural sway in the standing position with closed eyes to open eyes (Romberg Quotient) is a simple way to investigate the role of the visual channel in postural control in this category of patients. Objective:

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

Radiological and functional assessment in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis
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
