Balance Testing in Multiple Sclerosis—Improving Neurological Assessment With Static Posturography?
Background: Balance problems can severely limit the quality of life for people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) already in the early stages of the disease. PwMS are usually assessed with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), which includes a Romberg

Pain perception and stabilometric parameters in people with chronic low back pain after a pilates exercise program: A randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Various exercise interventions, such as Pilates exercises and traditional physical therapy methods, are employed to decrease low back pain (LBP). Nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) is distinct from LBP, however, as the distribution of pain is restricted ...
