A comparative study between posturography and other vestibular tests
Human bipedestation is a complex process of cerebral integration of visual, somatosensitive and vestibular information. Therefore, our requirement as physicians, is to try to objectify these cybernetopathologies through studies, in order to be able to prescribe a suitable therapy. The purpose of this work is to submit a comparative statistical study between posturography and other […]
Postural brain centers studied through posturography and brain electric tomography (loreta)
It has been demonstrated that by means of objective and quantitative methods – as the Test of Balance or Posturography – it is possible to evaluate the sensorial afferentias involved in bipedestation. The purpose of this presentation is to carry out a study using Posturography and Low Resolution Brain Electric Tomography (LORETA) in 153 Patients. […]
Craneocorpography test review
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.1,2 The diagnosis of patients in modern neuro-otological centres has to include not only the history and examination, but also objective and quantitative tests. […]
La stabilizzazione dinamica della testa sul tronco durante il cammino
Head stabilization is necessary during human locomotion in order to contrubute to perception of a stable visual field. Head stabilization is du to the cooperation between vestibular system and proprioception. According to cranio-corpographic experience Authors used a device based on two accelormeters place, respectevely, on th head and the trunk of the subject. Head stabilization […]

Approccio diagnostico ai disturbi dell’equilibrio negli esiti di colpo di frusta
The goal of this work is to study the vestibular system of whiplash people using a 3D dCCG system. A new experimental set-up, based on optoelettronic technique, was developed to evaluate the 3D pattern of movement of head and trunk in different experimental set-ups. The exam protocol is very close to the classical one with […]
Vestibular rehabilitation in whiplash injuries
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 […]
Zumbido, vertigem e alteração temporomandibular: avaliação fisioterápica
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 […]
