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…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…The relationship between cognitive task and postural stability in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the presence of dual task interference with cognitive tasks on postural stability in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: There…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…The relationship between body composition and postural instability in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: There appears to be no research that has focused on the relationship between body composition phenotype and postural instability in IPD. The aim of…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…Risk factors associated with postural changes in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To quantitatively assess posture in a large cohort of patients with PD in association with demographic features, laboratory data and life style and to…Characteristics of patients initiating droxidopa for the treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH)
Objective: To understand the characteristics of patients initiating droxidopa therapy for the treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH). Background: nOH is defined as a fall…Influence of lateral wedges on postural control in patient with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of lateral wedge to balance in Parkinson's disease. Background: Although postural instability is the…Coupling between visual information and body sway in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Investigate postural control performance and the coupling between visual information and body sway in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD causes several changes…
