Computerized analysis of established craniocorpography
This study reports 21 patients who suffered from vertigo and underwent a complete otorhinolaryngological evaluation and otoneurological tests to establish a peripheral labyrinthine disorder.

Response of human skull to bone-conducted sound in the audiometric-ultrasonic range
Some new therapies for tinnitus employ bone-conducted sound in the high audio and ultrasonic frequencies, but there has been little previous research on sound transmission through the head at these frequencies.
Evaluation of oculomotor tests in patients with tinnitus
Tinnitus as a symptom remains a serious multidisciplinary problem. Vertigo or dizziness is not noticed frequently in tinnitus patients, so vestibular function is not often studied.
The early kinetics of gentamicin uptake into the inner ear
Transtympanic gentamicin administration has become a popular modality in the treatment of Ménière’s disease. This modality and other inner-ear medical therapy are gaining increased clinical and scientific attention.
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 […]
The rithm of melatonin in dizziness a possible role in the genesis of this symptom?
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 […]
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 […]
Somatosensory potentials evaluation in cervical pathology
It seems to be very interesting to compare the results of the vestibular testing and the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) in cases with cervical diseases. This multimodal neurophysiological analysis of the patients suffering from cervical spondylosis before and after neurosurgical treatment is the first part of this long-term study.
Tetra-ataxiometry in falling elderly
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 […]
Stabilometria e patologia a.t.m.
Dai dati della Letteratura e dalle discussioni in merito alla relazione esistente tra apparato stomatognatico e postura, si può dedurre che una patologia a carico di una delle componenti del sistema stomatognatico può modificare l’equilibrio, influenzando le afferenze propriocettive degli altri distretti. I disordini cranio mandibolari possono causare disturbi funzionali della colonna cervicale. Durante la […]
