Background: There is increasing evidence that visual impairment contribute to falling. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of vision impairment of old adult patients with cataract on the occurrence of falls and postural control. Methods:According to the results of screening ophthalmic examination, 48 cataract patients (mean±SD aged 68.5 ± 6.08 yrs.) and 50 individuals withou...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the role of attentional process in postural control using choice reaction time task while changing the visual and proprioceptive cues under difficult balance task (standing on one-leg). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted by participating 20 young people (22.75±2.29). Each subject performed one-leg standing as balance task for e...

Congenital deafness has a relationship with vestibular and motor functioning. However, many studies have focused on children rather than adults. This study compared the relationship of vestibular functioning and visual acuity between adult athletes who were deaf and their age-appropriate peers in order to understand differences in balance and vision. Specifically, balance capability, vestibular...

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy has been shown to improve balance and gait stability in individuals with vestibular deficits. However, patient compliance with prescribed home exercise programs is variable. Real-time feedback of exercise performance can potentially improve exercise execution, exercise motivation, and rehabilitation outcomes. The goal of this study is to directly compare the ef...

Maintenance of equilibrium is influenced by postural symmetry and deviations such as a forward head. An exercise program involving an effect self-joint mobilization was developed to address spinal curvature; however, its on stability still unclear. The purpose this study what extent the self-mobilization would influence sway while standing still. Exercise group (n = 16) performed lying supine c...

[Purpose] Concurrent feedback is more detrimental for long-term retention of motor skills because learners depend on accessible visual information provided in parallel with movements. However, visual information is not always accessible. Furthermore, the effects of concurrent feedback vary with aspects of the task being performed. We investigated the effects of inaccessible visual feedback used...

PURPOSE To report the clinical results of lens capsular flap transplantation in refractory macular hole (MH). METHODS This retrospective, interventional, consecutive case series included 20 eyes with persistent MH after previous standard MH surgery. All eyes underwent vitrectomy, lens anterior or posterior capsule transplantation into the MH, gas tamponade, and a 1-week postoperative head dow...
