Musictherapy by J.R. Kohler in tinnitus patients- subjective and objective evaluation
The hearing disturbances including tinnitus as a result of exposure to the sounds were well known and decribed in literaute (1,2,3). But on the other side it was repoted that sounds modificate the tinnitus probably through the auditory cortical plasticity (4,5). For the first time we met Johannes Kohler in Prague, in October, 2000, during […]
Stabilometry and tmj disorders
The relationship between occlusion and equilibrium system must be interpreted as a base condition to program a rehabilitation, both in stomatognatic problems and in equilibrium problems. Use of stabylometric system, using references to vestibular, visual, somatosensorial systems, the stabylometric system allows to evaluate the interferences occurring during compensation within the single parts that made the […]
Treating cervical disorders according to mackenzie method in vertigo
One of the most important role of the vestibular system is to stabilize the head during the movement. This is necessary to stabilize the perceived visual images. Head is de-stabilized in every normal human situation, except to lying. Head is de-stabilized while sitting, standing, walking, jumping, eating In optimal conditions, the posture of the head […]
Vestibular evoked myogenich potentials in monitoring the efficacy of vestibular rehab in water
Water represents a simple way to modify gravity interaction on human body. In this way it is possible to manipulate the vestibular system. Vestibular Rehabilitation in Water is the new perspective of rehabilitation of Vertigo and Equilibrium Disturbances. One of the most important role of the CS is to detect Gravity and to elaborate adequate […]
La riabilitazione dell’adolescente sordo preverbale
L’Impianto cocleare che ha nei sordi postverbali e nei bambini impiantati precocemente i suoi candidati ideali, deve oggi confrontarsi con un’altra categoria di pazienti, sicuramente più difficili, come gli adolescenti sordi preverbali. Per questi ultimi, la terapia riabilitativa e le performances che si possono ottenere hanno una vasta variabilità sia sotto l’aspetto quantitativo che qualitativo […]
A new method for the reabilitation training of vertigo with virtual reality
Our objective is to verify the possibility of applying the new technology in creating locations in VR to the field of rehabilitation. To test the application of VR on our patients we used a virtual reality helmet commercially sold. The rehabilitation training is divided in two phases: “passive” and “active”. “Passive phase”: the patient is […]
