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 […]
The diagnosis of patients in modern neuro-otogical centres has to include not only history and examination, but also objetive and quantitative tests. In this study stress the importance of a short but significant given to study the vestibular function through of vestibular Test of Balance (TOB) the most common and actually wide spread technique to […]
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 […]
Whiplash injury can be defined as a non-contact rapid acceleration-deceleration head-neck trauma during which the kinematics of the cervical spine are completely disrupted. Because of the impact a sudden violent head retro-flexion is followed by an as much as violent head antero-flexion. The therapy influenced Tonic muscles by increasing labyrinthine percentage and induced a reduction […]
Hockey is a contact team game played by international rules. According to the rules the hockey players while struggling for the puck are allowed to perform various co-operative and confrontational actions. Hockey is the faster team game. Players produces high velocities by skating using muscles power (about 30 Km/h). The game requires very fine eye-hand-legs […]
Balance function aims to achieve a stable relationship between oneself and the sorrounding world, the environment. The result is spatial stabilization, which means that, when perceiving this sorrounding, one has the impression that it is stable. During each movement of the body and/or of the head the visual otrientation of space has to be stabilized. […]
Since many years we are using the local positioning system of ultrasound computer cranio-corpo-graphy (US-COMP-CCG). The patient is carrying a helmet with 2 ultrasound markers and a shoulder fixation with 2 other ultrasound markers. A computer unit is triggering the ultrasound impulses. Backwardly and above the patient is the ultrsound receiver unit containing several ultrasound […]
Patients with definite multiple sclerosis frequently suffer from vestibular disorders due to a vestibulo-oculomotor and vestibulospinal systems involvement. The vestibulospinal reflexes in these subjects can be well investigated through the vestibular evoked myogenic potentials recording. These potentials, evoked by the acoustic stimulation of the saccular macula and mediated by vestibulocollic reflex pathway, are recorded using […]
L’ equilibrio dell’ uomo e’ una funzione complessa che consente la stabilizzazione delle immagini sulla retina durante il movimento della testa e/o del corpo nello spazio (coordinazione oculomotoria) e l’ opposi-zione alla forza di gravita’ realizzando quindi sia la stazione eretta (coordinazione d’equilibrio statico) sia il movimento nell’ ambiente (coordinazione d’equilibrio dinamico). Contemporaneamente alla coordinazione […]
PURPOSE: to evaluate head stabilization in pitch plane in patients with different kinds of imbalance, when standing over firm and movable surfaces. MATERIAL: STATITEST multi-segments platform for recording and computing the postural adjustments at different body levels, detected by two captors placed on the head and hip, in four situations – eyes open and closed […]
