Study Regarding the Importance of Patients Assessment with Static and Dynamic Balance Disorders Depending on the Topography of the Lesion

The purpose of this study is represented by the way in which the therapeutic approach of patients with vestibular syndrome can be improved as a result of the identification of some parameters related to the visual, somesthetic, vestibular, global and preferential scores, parameters reffers to static and dynamic balance. We included in this reasearch a number of 37 subjects (11 male and 26 female), aged between 36 and 75, diagnosed with a form of of vestibular syndrome. They were divided into two groups; the first group consists in 20 subjects with peripheral vestibular syndrome (14 female and 6 male), while the second group was represented by 17 subjects with mixed vestibular syndrome (12 female and 5 male). In order to realise functionally assessment, we used Synapsys posturograph, through which we collected data on somesthetic, visual, vestibular, preferential and global parameters, both in the anterior-posterior and in the mid-lateral axis and the results were subjected to statistical analysis, using the SPSS 20 program. The results highlight the fact that the use of the Synapsys posturography equipment for patients with vestibular syndrome proves to be a valuable therapeutic measure, by accurately describing the balance parameters and, above all, by analyzing the patients' ability to use somatosensory, visual and vestibular informations in order to maintain balance in the anterior-posterior and mid-lateral axis.
