Analysis of the Parameters Obtained on Stabilometric Platform in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: a Basis for a Rehabilitation Perspective

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Background: Posture and balance are the foundation on wich upright stance and walking are executed. Postural instability is the impairment in balance that compromises the ability to maintain or change posture such as standing and walking. It is considered to be one of the cardinal features of PD. In such patients it is present even at diagnosis and worsens with disease progression. It correlates with falls representing a major source of disability and reduced QoL in PD. In this course, the study of balance is important to identify patients who can benefit from specific rehabilitative treatment.
Objective: To analyze different parameters in patients with PD obtained through the use of a stabilometric platform and compare them with those of a control population. To interpret the data in order to find some postural instability indicators that can become useful to build a rehabilitation strategy for balance disorders in PD.

Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
30 patients with PD
30 patients (12 M, 18 F, mean age 66,8 ± 8,7) with PD in stage 3 of H&Y will undergo training of balance using a stabilometric platform
|
Stabilometric platform is a device used for assessment and training of balance basing on ground reaction force evaluation in static conditions.

12 healthy volunteers
12 healthy volunteers (3 M, 9 F, mean age 66,5 ± 6,0) served as controls will undergo training of balance using a stabilometric platform

Time Frame |

Trunk sway
Time Frame: One week
|
With respect to the average centre of gravity the Standard Deviation of trunk sway (total, in Antero-Posterior and in Medio-Lateral direction) were calculated.
In this way it was possible to obtain a statokinesigram, that is the layout of a line connecting the successive positions of the center of pressure during the recording, and the area of the ellipse containing 90% of the sampled positions of the center of pressure.
These measurements were obtained with open eyes (OE), and while the patient performing a cognitive task (counting).
