Balance-based torso-weighting may enhance balance in persons with multiple sclerosis: preliminary evidence.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether weight placed on the trunk in response to directional balance loss would enhance function and stability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). DESIGN Quasi-experimental study in which subjects served as their own controls. SETTING Research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Subjects (N=16) age 20 to 65 years with MS recruited through the Northern California Chapter o...
متن کاملBalance-based torso-weighting in a patient with ataxia and multiple sclerosis: a case report.
OBJECTIVE The use of external body weights, although controversial, is occasionally employed to improve balance or mobility in patients with ataxia or tremor. This case report describes the effect of torso-weighting to counteract directional balance loss in a woman with relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis. CASE DESCRIPTION Clinical examination of a 40-year-old woman after multiple sclerosi...
متن کاملRandomized clinical trial of balance-based torso weighting for improving upright mobility in people with multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Torso weighting has sometimes been effective for improving upright mobility in people with multiple sclerosis, but parameters for weighting have been inconsistent. OBJECTIVE To determine whether balance-based torso weighting (BBTW) has immediate effects on upright mobility in people with multiple sclerosis. METHODS This was a 2-phase randomized clinical trial. In phase 1, 36 part...

متن کاملMovement strategies for maintaining standing balance during arm tracking in people with multiple sclerosis.
The purpose of this study was to quantify hip and ankle movement strategies during a standing arm tracking task in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Full-body kinematics and kinetics were assessed with motion analysis cameras and force plates in nine MS and nine age-matched control subjects. While standing, participants used their dominant hand to track a target moving around a large horizon...
