Effect of body weight on static and dynamic posturography

The Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology, 2020
Postural balance is important to allow us to maintain the daily life. Poor postural response and reduced motor activity were shown to be most prominent among obese persons than in non-obese. It is found that obese elderly groups show a high prevalence of

Optimising costs in reducing rate of falls in older people with the improvement of balance by means of vestibular rehabilitation (ReFOVeRe study): a randomized controlled trial comparing computerised dynamic posturography vs mobile vibrotactile posturography system

BMC Geriatrics, 2019
BackgroundAccidental falls, especially for the elderly, are a major health issue. Balance disorders are one of their main causes. Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) has proven to be useful in improving balance of elderly patients with instability.

Head Position and Posturography: A Novel Biomarker to Identify Concussion Sufferers

Brain Science, 2020
Balance control systems involve complex systems directing muscle activity to prevent internal and external influences that destabilize posture, especially when body positions change.

Effect of supervised exercise on physical function and balance in patients with intermittent claudication [PDF]

, 2014
Background The aim of the study was to identify whether a standard supervised exercise programme (SEP) for patients with intermittent claudication improved specific measures of functional performance including balance. Methods A prospective observational

Static posturography in aging and Parkinson's disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2012
In clinical practice, evaluation of postural control is based on the neurological examination, including Romberg's test, examination of gait and performance of pull test as part of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). The goal of our study was to identify posturographic parameters since quantitative technical methods for the ...

Diurnal changes in postural control in normal children: Computerized static and dynamic assessments

Burns & Trauma, 2014
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) causes postural control deficits and accordingly comparison of aberrant postural control against normal postural control may help diagnose mTBI.
