Computerised static posturography in neurology

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Posturography is a general term for techniques used to measure postural stability on static or dynamic measuring platforms. The principle of static computerised posturography (SCPG) is the detection of the centre of foot pressure (CFP) in upright stance on a posturography platform. Our communication deals with the importance of SCPG in differential topodiagnosis of vestibular syndromes in neurology. The set of examinations and evaluations carried out was divided among a control group of healthy subjects (77), a group of subjects with peripheral vestibular disorder (159), and a group of subjects with a non-peripheral balance disorder (82). Results obtained through the measurements were evaluated using descriptive statistics procedures and basic numerical and graphic statistical characteristics of the given groups. Our observations demonstrate that posturography is a valuable auxiliary test for balance disorders, especially given the lack of more suitable tests. According to our results, SCPG can be used for a rough differential topodiagnosis of balance disorders in neurology.</jats:p>

Various Static and Dynamic Balance Measuring and Training Mechanical Tools in Patients With Clinical Conditions: A Literature Review

“…A study also states that t posturography is a valuable auxiliary test for balance disorders, especially given the lack of more suitable tests. According to our results, SCPG can be used for a rough differential topodiagnosis of balance disorders in neurology [13].…”

Evaluation of postural balance in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

“…Bougard et al reported that postural control shows diurnal fluctuations and is better in the evening. However, they did their work only in 19 healthy controls [12]. Degache et al used SPG and reported that nocturnal respiratory disturbances affect postural stability during the day.…”

“…Posturography, also known as a balance test, allows the evaluation of postural stability on static and dynamic platforms. The basic principle of static posturography (SPG) is the measurement of changes in centre of foot pressure on a stationary platform [12]. SPG helps to assess the effects of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory inputs on postural control effectively [9].…”

Posturografijos metodai, naudojami pusiausvyros kontrolės sistemai vertinti

“…Posturografija yra neabejotinai naudingas tyrimo metodas vestibulinės sistemos sutrikimų diferencinėje diagnostikoje ir gydymo efektyvumo vertinime [12,16,17,18,33]. VUL SK ANG ligų centre posturografijos tyrimas "Tetrax" yra naudojamas nuo 2014 metų ir galime teigti, kad ši sistema yra vertinga klinikinėje praktikoje, ypač diferencijuojant periferinės vestibulinės sistemos sutrikimus nuo kitų sistemų (centrinės, somatosensorinės, psichiatrinės, ortopedinės), kas ir yra kol kas pirmiausia ir svarbiausia renkantis tolesnę gydymo taktiką; sistema įgalina objektyviai greitai ir dažnai vertinti ligos dinamiką, vaistų ir reabilitacijos efektyvumą, o tai iki šiol buvo subjektyvu.…”
