The effect of galvanic vestibular stimulation on postural balance in Parkinson's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2022, Journal of the Neurological SciencesCitation Excerpt :In scenarios when postural balance was assessed on either hard or soft surfaces with eyes open or closed, we only used the eyes closed soft surface condition. Postural balance assessment during eyes closed over soft surface has for long been shown to be the most sensitive of these conditions for identifying poor balance in patients [5,14,27]. We performed our systematic review and meta-analysis based on criteria given by the PRISMA statement (See Appendix).
Repeatability of Static Posturography on the Follow-up of Vestibular Rehabilitation
2013, Archives of Medical ResearchCitation Excerpt :Also, recordings were performed at a similar time of the day, with no physical activity prior to the test, the same examiner gave similar instructions to each participant, and all patients performed a standardized rehabilitation program. In patients with vestibular disease, significant body sway differences have been identified between healthy subjects and vestibular patients, depending on the particular diagnostic category, the sensory condition tested, and the particular sway component being measured (24). In this study the lack of differences between groups on the length/average speed of sway, observed at baseline, was accompanied with a low frequency of intra-individual changes exceeding the limits of agreement on the same measures.
Experimental calf muscle pain attenuates the postural stability during quiet stance and perturbation
2010, Clinical BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :The ground reaction forces and torques were recorded by a moveable force platform (AMTI, USA) amplified, low-pass filtered at 10 Hz and sampled at 1 kHz. For the quiet standing condition, recovering condition and perturbed conditions, the mean sway displacement in both directions (Kantner et al., 1991), sway speed in both directions (anterior–posterior and medial–lateral) and the sway area (Takagi et al., 1985) were estimated. Surface electromyography was recorded bilaterally with pairs of monopolar electrodes (Neuroline 72001-k; Medicotest, Denmark) from both the tibialis anterior and medial gastrocnemius muscles.
Psychiatric disorders in otoneurology patients
2005, Neurologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Some investigators believe that nonsyndromal vestibular disorders may cause a particular vulnerability to specific phobic disorders, agoraphobic in nature, and in doing so maintain associated avoidance behavior [8,19–22]. Other research groups [23–28] believe these are nonspecific findings based partly on individual outcomes. For example, Krafczyk et al [29] show that the posturographic findings in their patients were caused by a change of strategy of stance resulting from a previously present underlying anxiety that also could be found in healthy individuals and was not caused by the presence of an organic sensorimotor dysfunction.
