[Rehabilitation treatment of the balance: design of a general protocol with dynamic computerized posturography].

Abstract

The dynamic posturography (PD) is an amply diffused method for the study of balance. Its principal utility is the design of therapeutic strategies based on the vestibular rehabilitation. In determined patients and with the help of other elements of rehabilitation the PD favour the compensation of the degradation ofthe secondary balance to determinated pathologic entities that affect the vestibular peripheric or central system. Normally individualized strategies for each patient are employed and although this is the more correct, we consider necessary to propose global mesures that facilitate the rehabilitation program and the comparison of the results of different authors.
