Servicio de Neurofisiologia Clinica, Hospital Clinico, Lozano Blesa, Zaragoza.

Published: March 1996

Non-filiated myopathy and weakness on study, were the principal clinical correlates in those unexpected findings. It must be noted the importance of misdiagnosed myotonia on the epidemiological data of myotonic dystrophy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to quantitatively assess postural stability using force plate center of pressure (COP) parameters in a large sample of Chinese patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), compare the results with healthy controls, and examine correlations between balance measures (COP parameters, brief Balance Evaluation Systems Test [Brief-BESTest] scores) and clinical assessments, including MRI findings.

Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 141 patients with DCM (diagnosed from June 2022 to May 2024) and 141 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Postural balance was assessed using COP parameters and Brief-BESTest scores.
