Whiplash injuries induce abnormalities in head-trunk control due both direct impact on the neck and indirect involvement of the central vestibular system. It is usually difficult to document specific abnormalities due to whiplash injuries. We stated that examinations aimed to document head-trunk coordination involvement could be useful in the functional assessment of vestibular disorders in […]

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 […]

Many authors have reported different useful studies on the evaluation of the nystagmus which may be spontaneous and induced, any of these authors have been devoted to the study of vestibulo-spinal reflexes.

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 […]
