A dysfunction of the vestibular system is commonly characterized by a combination of phenomena involving perceptual, ocular motor, postural, and autonomic manifestations: vertigo/dizziness, nystagmus, ataxia, and nausea. These 4 manifestations correlate with different aspects of vestibular function and emanate from different sites within the central nervous system. The diagnosis of vestibular s...

Postural imbalance induced by prolonged sitting can be improved exercise therapy. The aim of study was to evaluate the influence combined stretching and strengthening using rehabilitation system with a linear actuator MR damper on static dynamic postural balance. Twelve subjects who sit almost 10 h day participated in this study. manufactured provide exercise. All were asked perform an program ...

Objective: Bipedalism in humans demanded robust postural control systems to maintain balance and equilibrium during variety of volitional activities. Adaptive learning is a key characteristic these systems. Postural are associated with autonomic changes trying cardiovascular homeostasis imbalances, which specifically important conditions like flat foot. Yoga training could help such cases achie...

objectives: postural control deficit is one of the most important problems in children with spastic cerebral palsy (cp). the purpose of this paper is to review the reactive postural control in spastic children with cp. methods: researches on development of reactive postural control in typically developing (td) children and children with cerebral palsy (cp) were analyzed. results: the results of...

BACKGROUND Neuronal degeneration and dopamine loss in the preclinical phase of Parkinson disease may produce subtle complaints before clinically recognizable symptoms emerge. OBJECTIVE To examine whether subjective complaints of stiffness, slowness, tremors, or postural imbalance in persons without clinical signs of parkinsonism are related to an increased risk of future Parkinson disease. ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of caloric vestibular stimulation on the postural sway characteristics of hemiparetic patients. Two groups of 15 hemiparetic patients each (right and left) were compared to a group of 15 control subjects. Hemiplegic patients were selected for the study if they showed ability to stand without external support for at least 30 seconds. Postu...

Fatal and nonfatal falls in the construction domain remain a significant issue in today’s workforce. The roofing industry in particular, annually ranks amongst the highest in all industries. Exposure to an inclined surface, such as an inclined roof surface, has been reported to have adverse effects on postural stability. The purpose of this preliminary study was to investigate the intra-individ...
