Functional Electrical Stimulation Alters the Postural Component of Locomotor Activity in Healthy Humans
2015
International audience; Knowledge of the effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) of different intensity on postural stability during walking in healthy subjects is necessary before these relationships in patients with postural disorders can be assessed and understood. We examined healthy subjects in Control group walking on a treadmill for 40 min and in FES group provided with 30 min of stimulation, which intensity increased every 10 min. The main difference between Control and FES group was the progressive increase of trunk oscillations in sagittal, frontal, and horizontal planes and an increase of relative stance duration in parallel with FES intensity increase. Both Control an…
A pilot study on non-invasive treatment of migraine: The self-myofascial release
2021
The aims of this paper was to determine the effect of self-myofascial release (SMFR) on postural stability and to analyze if it can influence migraine condition. Twenty-five subjects (age 49.7±12.5) affected by migraine were enrolled. Assessments included a stabilometric analysis in order to evaluate balance and plantar support, with eyes open (OE) and closed (CE); cervical ROM measurement; evaluation of upper limb strength through handgrip. All the analysis were carried out before and after the administration of a single SMFR protocol, using medium density small balls laid in the three most painful trigger points in migraine patients: trapezius, sternocleidomastoids and suboccipital muscle…
Kognitīvo uzdevumu ietekme uz stājas stabilitāti jauniem un veciem cilvēkiem
2017
Kopsavilkums Palielinoties cilvēka vecumam, palielinās kritienu un traumatisma riski. Tā kā Latvijā, kā arī Eiropā kopumā, palielinās populācijas novecošanās, kritienu un traumatisma riski pieaug, un to samazināšanai ir nepieciešami efektīvi profilaktiski pasākumi, kas uzlabotu īpaši gados veco cilvēku mobilitāti un novērstu kritienus. Pašreiz nav vienotu vadlīniju stājas stabilitātes pārbaužu metodikā un uzlabošanā, tādēļ ir nozīmīgi izprast faktorus, kas var ietekmēt posturālo kontroli. Tādejādi darbā tika izvirzīts mērķis noskaidrot kognitīvo procesu ietekmi uz stājas stabilitāti, kā arī izvērtēt antropometrisko parametru ietekmi uz līdzsvara saglabāšanu. Pētījumā piedalījās 60 izmeklēja…
