Displacement of Centre of Pressure during Rehabilitation Exercise in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is included into the category of pathologies that could affect postural control. Rarely AIS shows symptoms but often compromises the normal positioning of the head, trunk and, more generally, of the limbs in the space. We used a stabilometric platform to evaluate the motor control outcomes during a self-elongation in …

Acute Effects of Self-Correction on Spine Deviation and Balance in Adolescent Girls with Idiopathic Scoliosis

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of spine and trunk with a higher incidence in girls. AIS alters and reduces postural control and balance. Self-correction movement (SCM) is a well-known non-invasive approach to ameliorate spine curve in AIS subjects. We aimed to evaluate the effects of SCM on the spine and on …

Visual-spatial training in patients with sub-acute stroke without neglect: a randomized, single-blind controlled trial

Summary: Many people who have suffered a stroke will experience sensorimotor impairments that disrupt their performance of motor skills, including balance and gait. Furthermore, stroke-induced brain damage can Result in visual disorders that may significantly impact performance of normal daily activities. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects, on balance, of …

The effects of mechanical focal vibration on walking impirment in multiple sclerosis patients – a randomized double-blinded vs placebo study

Background: Multiple Sclerosis is a heterogeneous disorders involving in early stage gait and balance. Together with immunomodulating therapies, rehabilitation had a crucial role in improving motor tasks and quality of life. Between the emerging techniques, Focal Vibrations (FV) could play a role, but they have been used in MS only to reduce muscle tone and fatigue …
