Can Postural Instability Respond to Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation in Patients with Parkinson's Disease?
OBJECTIVE Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) activates the vestibular afferents, and these changes in vestibular input exert a strong influence on the subject's posture or standing balance. In patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), vestibular dysfunction might contribute to postural instability and gait disorders. METHODS Current intensity was increased to 0.7 mA, and the current was appl...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of physiotherapy treatment on balance dysfunction and postural instability in persons with Parkinson’s disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Balance dysfunction and postural instability in Parkinson's disease are among the most relevant determinants of an impaired quality of life. Physiotherapy interventions are essential to reduce the level of disability by treating balance dysfunction and postural instability. The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to test the effectiveness of conventional physiotherap...

متن کاملEvaluation of a Selected Balance Training on Physiological, Motor and Balance Performance in Patients with Parkinson's disease
Background and purpose: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system which leads to slowness of movement, tremor, postural instability, reduced balance, and autonomic nervous system disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selected balance training on physiological, motor and balance performance in patients with PD. Material...
متن کاملEarly biomechanical markers of postural instability in Parkinson's disease.
Current clinical assessments do not adequately detect the onset of postural instability in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to identify biomechanical variables that are sensitive to the effects of early Parkinson's disease on the ability to recovery from a balance disturbance. Ten adults diagnosed with idiopathic PD and no clinically detectable postural in...
