Identification of Balance Deficits in People with Parkinson Disease; is the Sensory Organization Test Enough?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Balance deficits in people with Parkinson's disease can affect any of the multiple systems encompassing balance control. Thus, identification of the specific deficit is crucial in customizing balance rehabilitation. The sensory organization test, a test of sensory integration for balance control, is sometimes used in isolation to identify balance deficits in people with P...
متن کاملSensory Organization for Balance: Specific Deficits
Background. The cause of frequent falling in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (AD) is not weil understood. Distraction from incongruent visual stimuli may be an important factor as suggested by their poor performance in tests of shifting visual attention in other studies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether AD patients have difficulty maintaining upright balance under...
متن کاملEffects of Using the Vibratory Orthosis on Standing Balance in Patients With Parkinson ’s Disease
Objectives: The authors of this paper hypothesized that vibration stimulation applied by a vibratory orthosis improves balance in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). In this study we evaluate this hypothesis. Methods & Materials: Fourteen PD patients (12 male and 2 female) with mean age of 59.9±9.1 (±SD) years were participated in this cross- sectional study. Using Biodex balance system,...
متن کاملFour square step test performance in people with Parkinson disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Four Square Step Test (4SST), a quick and simple test of multidirectional stepping, may be useful in predicting falls in people with Parkinson disease (PD). We studied the reliability of the 4SST and its ability to discriminate between freezers and nonfreezers, between fallers and nonfallers, and factors predictive of 4SST performance in people with PD. METHODS Fift...
متن کاملThe Effect of Cognitive and Motor Dual-task Training on Improvement of Balance and Some Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters in People With Idiopathic Parkinson\'s Disease
Background: Parkinson Disease (PD) is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms that affect patients’ functions, especially while performing dual tasks--a critical factor in everyday living. However, many controversies exist about the benefits of dual-task training in patients with PD. Objectives: This study assessed the efficacy of motor and cognitive dual-task training in improving balanc...
