چکیده

objectives: the authors of this paper hypothesized that vibration stimulation applied by a vibratory orthosis improves balance in patients with parkinson’s disease (pd). in this study we evaluate this hypothesis. methods & materials: fourteen pd patients (12 male and 2 female) with mean age of 59.9±9.1 (±sd) years were participated in this cross- sectional study. using biodex balance system, the overall stability index in two conditions of eyes-open and eyes-close, each with two situations of motors on and motors off of the vibratory orthosis were evaluated. analysis of variance and paired t statistics were used separately to determine the existence of difference and to compare mean values of overall stability index in all four test situations. results: analysis of variance test showed a significant difference in mean values of overall stability index in all four test situations (p=0.000). the findings of the study showed that balance improved in all situations that compares eyes-open with eyes-close (p=0.000). balance was better in eyes-open model with motors on rather than motors off (p=0.013). in eyes-close model balance was lower inmotors on than that of motors off (p=0.934). conclusion: a new orthosis in rehabilitation of pd patients was introduced that can promote new ideas in orthotic design and application. results showed that vibratory orthosis was effective in enhancing balance in pd patients in eyes-open condition. however, in eyes-close condition, we are not sure of its effectiveness.

The effects of attentional focus instructions on learning of balance task amongst Parkinson disease patients

Introduction: Studies with adults have shown that an external focus of attention results in more learning and greater automaticity than an internal focus. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of attentional focus instructions on learning of balance skill amongst patients with Parkinson disease. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, all Parkinson's disease patients referr...

The Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Mobility and Balance in Parkinson Disease: a Systematic Review

Whole body vibration (WBV) is a contemporary treatment modality that holds promise as an exercise training method in health–compromised individuals. A growing number of studies on individuals with Parkinson Disease are examining whether WBV improves balance and functional mobility. However, interpreting WBV studies is challenging since there is variability in the manner in which WBV interventio...

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

Effects of Voluntary Exercise on Motor Function in Parkinson\'s disease Model of Rats

Background. Previous surveys have shown that motor deficits precede the classical motor symptoms seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and that physical exercise may have beneficial effects on PD. Objectives. Here, we evaluated the potential of voluntary exercise to improve motor deficit in experimentally-induced Parkinson’s disease (6-OHDA) rats. Methods. Forty adult Wistar rats were ...
