Foam pads properties and their effects on posturography in participants of different weight [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Foam pads are increasingly used on force platforms during balance assessments in order to produce increased instability thereby permitting the measurement of enhanced posturographic parameters.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Body-worn triaxial accelerometer coherence and reliability related to static posturography in unilateral vestibular failure [PDF]

open access: yesActa Otorhinolaryngol Ital. 2017 Jun;37(3):231-236, 2019
Due to the fact that no study to date has shown the experimental validity of ACC-based measures of body sway with respect to posturography for subjects with vestibular deficits, the aim of the present study was: i) to develop and validate a practical tool that can allow clinicians to measure postural sway derangements in an otoneurological setting by ...

Multiple sclerosis: changes in microarchitecture of white matter tracts after training with a video game balance board [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Purpose: To determine if high-intensity, task-oriented, visual feedback training with a video game balance board (Nintendo Wii) induces significant changes in diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) parameters of cerebellar connections and other supratentorial ...

Postural Symmetry Evaluation Based on the Analysis of Temporary and Average CoP Displacements Registered During the Follow-Up Posturography

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
This paper presents a method enabling a postural symmetry assessment based on the evaluation of similarity of temporary and average CoP (Center of Pressure) displacements registered in response to the clockwise and counter-clockwise visual stimuli ...

Migraine With Aura Is Related to Delayed Motor Control Reaction and Imbalance Following External Perturbations

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: It is evidenced that migraineurs present balance deficits. However, the balance recovery following unexpected ground perturbations, which reflect conditions of everyday activities, has not been investigated in this population.Aim: We aimed to
