Whiplash injury and oculomotor dysfunctions: clinical-posturographic correlations.

Oculomotor dysfunctions are hidden causes of invalidity following whiplash injury. Many patients with whiplash injury grade II present oculomotor dysfunctions related to input disturbances of cervical or vestibular afferents. We used static posturography to investigate 40 consecutive patients with whiplash injury grade II and oculomotor dysfunctions.

[Arteriosclerosis, lipid pattern and physical activity. Effect of functional rehabilitation on blood lipid values in a group of patients with neuromotor lesions].

The effects of a kinesitherapy cycle (i.e. active and passive light physical activity) on the plasmatic cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides contents and on beta/alpha lipoproteins ratio as well in a group of 62 patients (39 males and 23 females) with neuromotor lesions are reported.
