“…Moreover, task 7 was replaced by a different forward reaching test (see Blanchet, et al, [26] for details). With the arms crossed over the chest and the feet set shoulder-wide, the participant had to lean forward as far as possible and to hold that position without stepping.…”

“…We did not fi nd any signifi cant improvement in the PSU parameter. The study by Blanchet et al [13] proved a higher deterioration in PSU compared to PSS. We presume PSU is apparently a diffi cult test and the level of balance impairment in HD causes a certain limit in the ability to improve by means of rehabilitation.…”

“…The specifi c physiotherapy protocol was created in consideration of the typical stability and gait problems of subjects with HD (postural instability, impaired dynamic balance, impaired velocity control mechanisms, increased variability in temporal control [2,9,13,[35][36][37]. The list of 20 exercises was evaluated every day (can/ cannot perform) to observe the changes in the separate tasks.…”

Aim: Postural and gait instability in Huntington's disease (HD) is a key component of the motor symptomatology which contributes to an increased risk of falls. Rehabilitation is considered benefi cial in postural and gait stability treatment. We aimed to explore the feasibility and the shortand long-term eff ects of an inpatient multidisciplinary rehabilitation program on postural and gait stability in subjects with HD. Methods: A sample of 13 subjects with HD but with no severe cognitive defi cit or depression underwent a 3-week specifi c inpatient rehabilitation program focused on postural and gait stability. Patients were examined at the baseline, after the completion of rehabilitation, and then 1 month and 3 months after the end of the program. The testing included: gait stability examination (Dynamic Gait Index; DGI), posturography examination of postural stability on a stable (PSS) and 20% unstable (PSU) platform and the total motor score evaluation by Unifi ed Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS). Results: There was a signifi cant improvement lasting 3 months in PSS and a signifi cant improvement in DGI immediately after the rehabilitation. There was no signifi cant improvement in the PSU and UHDRS total motor score. Conclusion: Specifi c rehabilitation methods are safe and feasible and may be benefi cial in the treatment of postural and gait instability in patients with early and mid-stage HD. The postural instability improvement measured by PSS persisted for at least 3 months. The gait stability improvement in DGI did not persist after 1 month. We found no improvement in PSU. This exploratory study off ers a sample of a specifi c rehabilitation protocol for stability training in HD. The authors declare they have no potential confl icts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study. Autoři deklarují, že v souvislosti s předmětem studie nemají žádné komerční zájmy. The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE "uniform requirements" for biomedical papers. Redakční rada potvrzuje, že rukopis práce splnil ICMJE kritéria pro publikace zasílané do biomedicínských časopisů.

“…Surprisingly, despite this preclinical stage, individuals exhibit postural control as well as stability limits impairments. These abnormalities are exacerbated when the demand to process and integrate proprioceptive signals is increased [3].…”
