Since 1998 I have been carrying out an investigation about the effect of the stress on the vestibular analyzer. Until this moment over 100 patients suffering from stress vestibular disorders have been examined. It has been determined that stato-kinetic disorders in the major part of the patients are with general characteristics that are typical for […]
There are different stimulation methods for investigation of the vestibular system. In addition to optokinetic, galvanic and neck vibration tests the most wide-spread is the caloric stimulation. These listed methods cause not only vestibular but other different effects on the central nervous system (CNS) (acustic, tactile and nociceptive). The authors using positron emission tomograhy (PET) […]
145 cases of cephalo-cervicaly injured patients were intensively investigated and evaluated by means of a modern neurootometric test battery. In addition every patient was seen by a neuro-radiologist with a special newly developed method of funtional MRI scanning, the so-called dynamic functional MRI of the Head, especially of the cranio-cervical junction (head sockle joint) . […]
Objective: Amongst the reasons causing the inner ear pathology being accompanied by fits of giddiness, the most frequently occurring are the endolymphatic hydrops & benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo (BPPV). In the whole number of scientific articles there may be found the mentioning of patients with the combination of BPPV & Menier’s Disease. The reasons & […]
Many authors had reported different usefull studies in the evaluation of the nystagmus which may be spontaneous and induce, any one of these have been given to study the vestibular function through of vestibuloespinal, retinalocular, vestibuloocular systems in the Cranio-Corpo-Graphy (CCG) and the Computarized Electronystagmography (CNG). Upon researching 1340 patients suffering from we found that […]
A vertigem é um sintoma decorrente de uma alteração do aparelho vestibular, na porção periférica, central ou ambas. Inúmeras causas e doenças podem produzí-la, sendo definida como uma alucinação de movimento rotatório. As dificuldades na abordagem da etiologia e do tratamento com os métodos propedêuticos atuais, leva o médico muitas vezes a tratar a “tontura” […]
Vertigo in children is rarer than in adults and the examiner in cases showing these symptoms must rely on the parents’ or relatives’ observations and details. Besides the equilibrium disorders caused by hereditary malabsorptions or lesions in the peripheral and central vestibular structures, we know of typical diseases, associated with vertigo and hearing problems, that […]
Two years ago the Vertigo Clinic started to operate in Limassol. The aim of authors’ investigations is researching vertigo-producing factors in Cypriot patients, and to follow up the results of our treatment protocols. During the last two years examination of 196 vertiginous patients was performed. The patients’ case history was documented by questionnaire, and a […]
Digital-CranioCorpoGraphy (dCCG) can study the Equilibrium System through simple experimental procedures. The instrumentation records the movements of the head and the trunk of the patient suffering from whiplash syndrome who performs a motor task (Stepping Test).
To test the application of virtual reality (VR) on our patients we used a particular “helmet” connected to a personal computer. The rehabilitation training is divided in two phases: “passive” and “active”. RV 752 patients, 259 males and 393 females, had been submitted to the vestibular rehabilitation with VR. The patients were affected with: Paroxysmal […]
