AI Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze dynamic posturography patterns to aid in diagnosing patients with CANVAS syndrome.
- Four patients with CANVAS were evaluated, revealing a decreased overall balance score and various patterns of sensory information misuse.
- The findings suggest that significant sensory organization issues in balance tests may indicate the presence of CANVAS, highlighting the test's value in understanding balance maintenance.
Article Abstract
Objective: To describe the pattern of dynamic posturography or its role in diagnosis in patients with cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and vestibular arreflexia syndrome (CANVAS).
Materials And Methods: We present and describe posturographic data of four patients diagnosed with the CANVAS syndrome in a tertiary hospital.
Results: In all patients, the average balance score was diminished. Two patients presented a pattern of visual dependence. The other two showed misuse of three posturography sensory information (visual, vestibular and propioceptive information), specially null use of vestibular information, deterioration of somatosensory input, and poor use of strategies, particularly in conditions 5 and 6.
Conclusions: If there is misuse of somatosensory information in sensory organization test (SOT) in a patient with bilateral vestibular deficit, a possibility of CANVAS should be considered. The SOT provides valuable information, because it evaluates sensory inputs influence the maintenance of balance.

: Ocular proprioception is implicated in balance control and heterophoria is associated with abnormal posture, though previous research focused mainly on the role of vertical phoria and the use of vertical prisms. This study aims to evaluate whether ocular misalignment and prismatic correction of horizontal phoria affect posture. : Sixty-nine ( = 69) young healthy subjects were included and equally divided by horizontal distance phoria: orthophoria ( = 23), esophoria ( = 23) and exophoria ( = 23).

Postural control is a multisensory adaptive system performing predictive (anticipatory) and/or reactive (compensatory) actions, with varying degrees of accuracy, to maintain balance in a changing environmental context. Common instrumentation to evaluate balance includes static and dynamic force platforms; added sway-referenced perturbations on the dynamic platform constitute its main advantage. Clinical applications notwithstanding, normative data are needed for interpretation in clinical settings.

Background: Numerous scoliosis research studies have investigated postural control changes in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and compared them to healthy controls. However, the results have been controversial. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare whether postural control in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients is different from their age-matched healthy counterparts.

Background: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that predominantly affects the elderly, causing significant morbidity due to joint pain, stiffness, and loss of function. This study aimed to assess the limits of stability (LOS) using computerized posturography and evaluate the correlations with functional mobility in elderly individuals with hip OA.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included elderly individuals aged 65 years and above with a clinical diagnosis of hip OA and age-matched asymptomatic controls.

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between kinesiophobia, proprioception, and limits of stability in elderly individuals post-THR. Specifically, it sought to assess the direct and indirect effects of kinesiophobia on proprioception through mediating factors such as pain intensity, functional mobility, and psychological well-being. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 100 participants (50 post-THR patients and 50 asymptomatic elderly controls) at King Khalid University Hospital.
