Vestibular Syncope and Acute Peripheral Vestibular Deficit: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Vestibular syncope is a rare condition in which vertigo may cause syncopal attacks; however, the term has been associated with confusion because it has been ascribed to completely different vestibular and neurological conditions, from dizziness to Menière disease (MD), to the neurovegetative symptoms in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo ...

Long-term Follow up of Van Nes Rotationplasty for Congenital Proximal Focal Femoral Deficiency [Proceedings] [PDF]
INTRODUCTIONProximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is a congenital anomaly that presents challenges for orthopaedic and prosthetic management. The Van Nes rotationplasty is one treatment in which the extremity is surgically rotated to utilize the ankle

Influence of footwear on postural sway: A systematic review and meta-analysis on barefoot and shod bipedal static posturography in patients and healthy subjects [PDF]
Background Bipedal static posturography is widely used to assess postural control. However, standardized methods and evidence on the influence of footwear on balance in comparison to barefoot stance is sparse.

Subjective visual vertical/horizontal and video head impulse test in dyslexic children
Different studies have tried to establish a relationship between dyslexia and the vestibular system function. Subjective Visual Vertical/Horizontal (SVV and SVH) and Video Head Impulse Test (VHIT) are useful for studying the vestibular system and can be easily performed in children.

Achilles tendon shear wave speed tracks the dynamic modulation of standing balance
Standing balance performance is often characterized by sway, as measured via fluctuations of the center of pressure (COP) under the feet. For example, COP metrics can effectively delineate changes in balance under altered sensory conditions. However, COP

Long-term Follow up of Van Nes Rotationplasty for Congenital Proximal Focal Femoral Deficiency [PDF]
Van Nes rotationplasty may be used for patients with congenital proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD). The lower limb is rotated to use the ankle and foot as a functional knee joint within a prosthesis.
