THE ROLE OF THE VESTIBULAR SYSTEM IS TO INTEGRATE POLISENSORIAL CUES AND PROVIDE A CONTINUOS AND PRECISE REPRESENTATION EITHER OF THE BODY SHAPE (SEGMENTAL BODY ORIENTATION, THAT TO SAY PERCEPTION OF THE RECIPROCAL POSITION OF BODY SEGMENTS ) OR THE ORIENTATION OF THE BODY INTO THE ENVIRONMENT (SPATIAL ORIENTATION). MELATONIN IS A NATURAL HORMONE SECRETED […]
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 […]
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 […]
The objective of this study is the supposition, verified through suitable hematochemical tests, of the co-presence in the etiopathogenesis of the Menière syndrome and/or in the labyrinth pathologies or hypacusia also of central/systemic microtoxicosis. We do not therefore exclude other well known hypotheses on the causality of these pathologies, but one finds, above all in […]
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 […]
Según nuestra experiencia el sistema vascular y su influencia bajo estímulos simpáticos y parasimpáticos juega un rol fundamental en la neurofisiología del equilibrio. Toda modificación del calibre arterial ya sea a nivel periférico o central bajo la dependencia del sistema simpático puede originar trastornos de nutrición a nivel de las células con modificación de sus […]
Living is like getting irradiated. This is because we are constantly exposed to oxidants such as superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, and single oxygen. These reactive oxygen species are generated during normal oxidative metabolism. Other sources of oxidants to wich we are constantly exposed include our diet, polluted air (particulary from smoking), natural radioctive […]
