Differences in processing proprioceptive input from the neck muscles may explain the benefit from sensory tricks in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: We used a paradigm of neck vibration to test the hypothesis that the sensory trick (ST), which is used by some patients with idiopathic…Research of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) in the diagnosis of postural instability in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the sacculocervical reflex of patients with PD with the assessment of changes of the parameters of VEMP depending on the severity of…Translation of the European physiotherapy guideline for Parkinson’s disease to Portuguese
Objective: To translate and adapt the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's disease to Portuguese. Background: In 2014 the European Guideline for Physiotherapy in Parkinson's disease…Neck proprioception is impaired in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: To investigate whether proprioceptive information generated from the neck is impaired in patients with idiopathic Cervical Dystonia (CD). Background: CD is a focal dystonia…Correlation analysis for postural instability and autonomic dysfunction in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate correlation between postural instability and autonomic dysfunction in early stage Parkinson's disease patients. Background: Brainstem pathology may link postural instability (PI) and…Does link between fatigue syndrome and camptocormia in patients with Parkinson’s disease exist?
Objective: To study if there is link between camptocormia (CC) and fatigue syndrome (FS) in PD patients. Background: There is still no consensus on etiology…Seated balance is impaired in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: To investigate whether seated balance is impaired in patients with idiopathic Cervical Dystonia (CD). Background: Idiopathic CD is a movement disorder in which involuntary…The pull test in healthy subjects: Quantitative, posturographic and electromyographic analysis
Objective: To study the destabilizing force needed to reach the limit of stability (LoS), the displacements of the center of pressure (CoP) and the postural…Impaired color discrimination selectively associates with postural instability and gait difficulties in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between impairments of the cardinal motor impairments and color discrimination deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Previous studies have shown…Predictors of recurrent falls in people with Parkinson’s disease and development of a predictive tool
Objective: To identify predictors of recurrent falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD); and to develop a predictive tool for identifying individuals at different categories…
