Background: Following a stroke, balance disturbances often persist despite full recovery of the paretic side.
Aims: The aims were to determine how long postural instability could be detected after stroke and the differences in post-stroke patients under and above 65 years of age.
Methods: Static and dynamic posturography (passing weights from hand to hand around the body) measurements were performed on 29 patients with stroke after 3 ± 2.
Background: The early stage of Parkinson's disease (PD) (Hoehn-Yahr (HY) I-II stages) is characterized by a negative pull test, which clinically excludes postural instability. Previous studies with dynamic posturography detected balance disturbances even at the onset of the disease but the age dependency or prediction of dyskinesia with dynamic posturography are not known.
Objective/hypothesis: We hypothesized that the postural instability evoked by dynamic posturography was part of the early stage of PD.
