3d digital craniocorpography: normalcy data
CranioCorpoGraphy (CCG) is one of the most common test to evaluate equilibrium and coordination, studying the pattern of movement of markers placed on the head and trunk. The aim of this work is the assess the coordination of healthy people in different experimental set-ups through a 3D dCCG system. So an optoelectronic system in a […]
Unexpected effects of air pollution on inner ear
Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (PPV) is the most frequent kind of vertigo. It is a recognized as an inner ear problem caused by small calcium carbonate crystals that float through the inner ear fluid and strike against the cupula of semicircular canal. Authors have observed in a retrospective statistical analysis of 575 patients through 5 years […]
Comparative results of the craniocorpography (ccg) and test of balance
Many authors had reported different useful studies in the evaluation of the vestibular function through vestibular, somatosensorial, viso-cortical systems in the Test of Balance.1,8 and to study the vestibular function through vestibuloespinal system in the Cranio-Corpo-Graphy (CCG) 2,3,4 Upon researching 100 patients suffering from vertigo we found that 36 % of them were male patients […]
P-100 in the treatment of Ménière’s disease, a clinical study
Patients suffering from Ménière’s disease are particularly sensitive to negative pressure in the middle ear. E.g. attacks of vertigo can be triggered by a descent in an aircraft when ventilation of the middle ear can become critical. Positive pressure pulse treatment has shown to have a beneficial effect on the symptomatology, and is now a […]
