BACKGROUND: Vertigo and dizziness are among the most prevalent symptoms in neurologic disorders. Although many of these patients suffer from postural instability gait disturbances, there is only limited data on their risk falling. METHODS: We conducted a controlled cross-sectional study at t he tertiary care outpatient clinic German Center for Balance Disorders using self-administered questionnaire to assess falls, fall-related injuries, fear The recruitment period was 6 months. RESULTS: A...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the predictive validity of multimodal clinical assessment outcomes and quantitative measures in- off-laboratory mobility for fall-risk estimation in patients with different forms neurological gait disorders. Methods The occurrence, severity, consequences falls were prospectively assessed 6 months 333 early stage disorders due to vestibular, cerebellar, hypokinetic, vascular, functional, or other diseases 63 healthy controls. At inclusion, participants completed...
Objective: To evaluate the effects of visual cues combined with treadmill training on gait performance in patients Parkinson’s disease and to compare strategy pure training. Design: Pilot, exploratory, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Setting: University Hospital Munich, Germany. Subjects: Twenty-three outpatients (Hoehn Yahr stage II–IV). Interventions: Patients received 12 sessions within five weeks either ( n = 12) or 11). Main measures: Outcome measures were speed, stride length...
To determine whether functional electrical stimulation-supported ergometric training of patients with multiple sclerosis has a prosthetic or therapeutic effect on biomechanical (power, smoothness cycling) and outcomes (walking capability, strength muscle, spasticity).Twelve subjects participated in an (3 sessions/week for 2 weeks). Measurements were made cross-over design to study (with without stimulation) effects (before after training).Power calculated by cadence torque recordings cycling...
Objective: Although there is evidence that vestibular rehabilitation useful for treating chronic bilateral hypofunction (BVH), the mechanisms improvement, and reasons why only some patients improve are still unclear. Clinical results fromeye-head control in deficiency suggest headmovement a crucial element of rehabilitation. In this study, we assess effects specifically designed head-movement-based program on dynamic vision, explore underlying mechanisms. Methods: Two adult (patients 1 2)...
Background Downbeat nystagmus (DBN) is a common form of acquired fixation with key symptoms oscillopsia and gait disturbance. Gait disturbance could be result impaired visual feedback due to the involuntary ocular oscillations. Alternatively, malfunction cerebellar locomotor control might involved, since DBN considered vestibulocerebellar disorder. Methods Investigation walking in 50 patients (age 72±11 years, 23 females) healthy controls (HS) 70±11 using pressure sensitive carpet...
Although the number of child laborers in Latin America is generally high, data on occupational hazards and injuries insufficient. The objective this study was therefore to determine lifetime prevalence risk factors for among working students (10-17 years old) Cusco Province.A cross-sectional conducted at five public night schools. 375 (response 91.5%) completed an interview-based questionnaire socio-demographics, work-related factors, injuries. Multiple logistic regression analyses were...
Primary orthostatic tremor (OT) is characterized by high-frequency lower-limb muscle contractions and a disabling sense of unsteadiness while standing. Patients consistently report relief symptoms when starting to ambulate. Here, we systematically examined linked gait characteristics in patients with OT. Tremor features were nine OT controls on pressure-sensitive treadmill for one minute walking framed two one-minute periods assessed time-frequency analysis surface EMG-recordings from four...
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is effective for most patients with dizziness and imbalance. Home exercise programs are widely used. It unknown, however, how specific the instructions exercises have to be.To evaluate effects of expert assessment in a booklet-based home VRT program chronic dizziness.Randomized controlled study on 74 participants disabling >3 months. All received training at home. Participants were prescribed 20 minutes exercise, twice day. The intervention group (n =...
Fragestellung: Stürze sind eine verbreitete Komplikation, die besonders häufig im höheren Alter [1] und bei Erkrankungen mit Bewegungsstörungen [2,3] auftritt. Obwohl Gang- Standstabilität Patienten Schwindel Gleichgewichtsstörungen beeinträchtigt ist somit ein erhöhtes Sturzrisiko vermutet werden kann, gibt es bislang kaum Studien zur Sturzhäufigkeit diesen Patienten. Es wurde untersucht, wie hoch Prävalenz von Stürzen Sturzverletzungen innerhalb des Patientenkollektivs in einer...
