Computerized stabilometry is an useful test to monitor postural effects of anticonvulsant therapy in adults. Our study was carried out on 65 epileptic children: 51 were treated with CBZ or PHT or VPA or PB in monotherapy, and 14 were not on therapy, in the aim to observe abnormalities of postural control in pediatric population. Computerized stabilometry has to be considered auxiliary monitoring to evaluate toxic effect of anticonvulsant therapy in children.

Goalball is a sport for visually impaired athletes, where the roles of attack and defense change continuously during the game. Performance evaluation should consider the variables that determine the throwing and the stop and clearance of the ball. The aim of this study is to evaluate the precision and velocity of the ball throwing in goalball, besides core stability and balance as variables that determine an optimal throwing.

Background: Computerized stabilometry has been utilized to investigate the effect of vision on the neuromechanisms of human postural control. However, this approach lacks operational methods to quantify visual dependency during upright stance. This study had three goals: (1) To introduce the concept of visuo-postural dependency indices (VPDI) representing balance sway characteristics in multiple analytical domains (spatial, temporal, frequency, and structural), (2) To investigate the age and gender effects on VPDIs, and (3) To investigate the degree of relationships between VPDI and both subjective visual vertical and horizontal perception (SVV and SVH, respectively).

: Stroke survivors face severe problems affecting their mobility, such as balance impairments and an increased risk of falls. The principal aim of this study was to quantify the effects of 12 sessions of Halliwick aquatic therapy for the treatment of balance in patients with chronic stroke. : Twenty-nine people with stroke participated in this single-group experimental pilot study.

Purpose: Evaluation of specific computerized posturographic parameters in patients with Menière's disease (MD) following the intratympanic injection of gadolinium, a contrast agent, used in radiological diagnosing.
Materials And Methods: We have observed 12 adult patients with unilateral Menière's Disease subjected to inner ear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination after intratympanic gadolinium injection (ITG). The diagnoses have been performed according to the guidelines of the American Academy of otolaryngology.
