Postural dysfunctions are prevalent in patients with schizophrenia and affect their daily life and ability to work. In addition, sensory functions and sensory integration that are crucial for postural control are also compromised. This study intended to examine how patients with schizophrenia coordinate multiple sensory systems to maintain postural stability in dynamic sensory conditions. Twent...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate if hearing performance is a predictor of postural control in cochlear implant (CI) users at least six months after surgery. METHODS Cross-sectional study including (CI) recipients with post-lingual deafness and controls who were divided into the following groups: nine CI users with good hearing performance (G+), five CI users with poor hearing performanc...

AIM OF THE STUDY The objective of this preliminary study was to evaluate the effectiveness, in terms of fall reduction, of an in-home strategy that we have developed for elderly fallers. We also aimed at finding links between the expected changes in the data obtained in static posturography and in clinical balance tests through our program. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twelve elderly patients living ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Computerized dynamic posturography using an intentional postural-sway task can be used to assess body-leaning ability and postural-control ability to prevent falls. Falls are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality for the elderly. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the recovery of intentional dynamic balance function after intravenous sedation with m...
