The vascular system and its influence under sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulations plays an essential role in neurophysiology of equilibrium.

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 […]

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 […]

TETRAATAXIOMETRY (BY TETRAX, ISRAEL) IS A THE LAST VERSION OF STATIC POSTUROGRAPHY ALLOWING SIMULTANEOUS RECORDING OF FORCES APPLIED AT RIGHT AND LEFT FOOT AND RIGHT AND LEFT TOES AND HEELS. IN THIS WAY IT IS POSSIBLE TO ASSESS BOTH GLOBAL BALANCE AND THE SPECIFIC COORDINATION OF RIGHT, LEFT, ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR PARTS OF THE BODY […]

The vertebral artery origins from the subclavian artery, moves cranially and penetrates into the “foramen magnum” to meet the cotralateral artery so to origin the basilary artery. The length of the vertebral artery is approx. 25 cm. with a diameter between 3 and 6 mm. In 60% of the normal population, the vertebral arteries don’t […]

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 […]

The possible relationship between inner ear and vasopressin (AVP, ADH) has been hypothesized since twenty years ago About ten years ago, in anaesthetized guinea pigs, we demonstrated that changes in the inner ear pressure modify plasma AVP (pAVP) level and AVP secretion with consequent changes in urine flow rate and osmolality : our experiment was […]

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 […]

Bei dem sogenannten Halsschleudertrauma handelt es sich um eine neuartige Zivilisationskrankheit, die wir vor allem in der Häufung, in der wir sie heute antreffen, zu Beginn dieses Jahrhunderts noch nicht gekannt haben.
