Posturography

Now, with the statistical support of 1500 examined patients, we are ready to confirm the results of our former investigations.
Moreover, it is now statistically demonstrated by us that in Test of Balance, the most significant parameters in the 4 tests, from an statistical point of view, are:

Equilibrium Area
Total Displacement and
Average Velocity

which should [...]

It has been demonstrated that by means of objective and quantitative methods – as the Test of Balance or Posturography – it is possible to evaluate the sensorial afferentias involved in bipedestation.
The purpose of this presentation is to carry out a study using Posturography and Low Resolution Brain Electric Tomography (LORETA) in 153 Patients.
The [...]

The aim of the study was to search for the reason of vertigo in children who complain of it. 30 children who were treated by pediatrist beacuse of various diseases were tested. The detailed protocol of anamnesis, videonystagmography, posturography and additonal tests ordered by pediatrist were performed. The results were compared with the group [...]

The aim of the study was to observe the usefulness of Betaserc in therapy of vestibular disorders in the patients with vertebro-basilar insufficiency.

Rationale: Several reports have shown that the direction of the postural responses induced by vestibular stimulation is affected by the neck and torso position. The aim of the study was to investigate whether the postural responses to vibratory proprioceptive stimulation of the calf muscles are affected by the head position and thus by proprioceptive and [...]

Balance function aims to achieve a stable relationship between oneself and the sorrounding world, the environment. The result is spatial stabilization, which means that, when perceiving this sorrounding, one has the impression that it is stable. During each movement of the body and/or of the head the visual otrientation of space has to be stabilized. [...]

The aim of the study was to observe the usefulness of Betaserc in therapy of vestibular disorders in the patients with vertebro-basilar insufficiency. 80 patients (43 female, 37 male) were tested on the base of videonystagmography, stabilometry and brain stem auditory evoked potentials. Betaserc was ordered in two separate doses: 3x 8mg and 3x [...]

The usefulness of conventional posturography when the changes of muscle tonus of the lower limbs affect position of the center of gravity which movement is measured is well known. The radius of the gravity center deflection such as length of the „way” and velocity of the movement can be calculated and compared during [...]

It seems to be very interesting to compare the results of the vestibular testing and the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) in cases with cervical diseases. This multimodal neurophysiological analysis of the patients suffering from cervical spondylosis before and after neurosurgical treatment is the first part of this long-term study.
