Objetivo Avaliar a postura estática de pacientes com zumbido, vertigem associado a alteração da articulação temporomandibular. Método Foram avaliados do ponto de vista fisioterápico 30 pacientes com zumbido, vertigem e alteração da articulação temporomandibular, cujas idades variaram entre 15 e 60 anos de idade, sendo 22 (73,3%) do sexo feminino e 08 (26,7%) do sexo […]
Pathology from childhood up to adolescence carries physical, cognitive, motor, linguistic, perceptual, social, emotional and neurosensorial characteristics. Especially the age between the 8th year until the 14th or 15th year of life carry very special traits of a roll-over in the data processing with respect to balance regulation. Neurootological functional data acquisition provides us with […]
Paroxysmal positional vertigo is one of the most frequent vestibular affections. Despite the success of the rehabilitative therapy PPV is often recurrent suggesting that we are not really able to interact with the etiology and even with all the possible pathogenetic mechanisms. In this work we present an interpretative model according to the cybernetic theory […]
The evaluation of cochleovestibular dysfunction in psychiatric patients often causes difficult problem in our neurootological practice. The most difficult challenge is the cases of combined lesion: psychiatric disorders with organic cochleovestibular diseases. Authors discuss the neurobiological base of panic disorders and the cochleovestibular dysfunction. In the multicentric study 63 patients were examined with vertigo and […]
From a major group of neurootological patients in our data-bank NODEC IV we have selected a group of patients who had suffered rhino-fronto-basal skull fractures. Some anatomical features lead to the concentration of cranial fractures to the base of the cranial vault. In case a strike hits the head frontally, forces coming from the face […]
This work aims to study in adolescent drivers whose vestibulo-visual-auditory functions are exposed to the systematic effect of specific mechanical irritants (accelerations, velocities, noise, vibrations, optokinetic effects, etc.), the particularities of the functioning of the higher specialized sensuousness and in particular the vestibular effect on the visual system at formation of the perceptions of movement […]
As a part of a full-range evaluation of patients with panic disease an instrumental examination of statokinetic test has been performed. At 40% of the patients pathological changes have been registered in the craniocorpographic or posturographical tests. There were mostly symptoms of a slight peripheral lesion, in two cases however there were psychogenic reactions too. […]
The study of equilibrium disorders due to whiplash trauma is becoming more and more important to evaluate the injury itself and identify useful therapies. A few peculiar features of this disease have been shown through postural evaluations. We aimed at overcoming this lack of information by using the Digital CranioCorpoGraphy (dCCG) instrumentation to study both […]
Our modern public health prevision scheme deals with the protection of workers’ health. This is necessary to reduce or eliminate hazards due to work. Industrial accidents and unsafe working conditions may result in health disturbances, acute or chronic illnesses. Chemical, as well as physical hazards amongst external sources lead to untoward changes in health. Hazards […]
The evaluation of cochleovestibular dysfunction in psychiatric patients often causes difficult problem in neurootological expertise. The most difficult challenge is the combined lesion: psychiatric disorders with organic cochleovestibular diseases. Authors discuss the neurobiological base of panic disorders and the cochleovestibular dysfunction. Authors of the multicentric study examined 63 patients with vertigo and panic disease. Twenty […]
