Reactive Balance Control Following Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy in Child With Diplegic Cerebral Palsy. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in early childhood characterized by impaired selective motor control. Children with CP often exhibit delayed and disorganized muscle activation in response to external perturbations, resulting in a high incidence of falls and decreased participation in activities compared with their peers.

Balance Impairment in Fahr’s Disease: Mixed Signs of Parkinsonism and Cerebellar Disorder. A Case Study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Fahr’s disease is a rare idiopathic degenerative disease characterized by calcifications in the brain, and has also been associated with balance impairment. However, a detailed analysis of balance in these patients has not been performed.
