Effects of bilateral sub-thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on gait in patients affected by Parkinson's disease

Brief Description: Gait deficits are the principal source of disability and loss of independence in patients affected by Parkinson's Disease (PD). Tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity are usually responsive to medical treatment with levodopa (L-dopa) and to bilateral ...read more...

Multisensory integration in balance control

Brief Description: Balance control is a complex motor skill, which involves the integration of many types of sensory information (sight, vestibular system and proprioception). Postural control can be modified by sensory input alterations consequent to a pathology: vision ...read more...

Muscle synergy assessment during cyclic and non-cyclic movements

Brief Description: Motor tasks are achieved by activating an appropriate set of muscles depending on the task constraints of a specific movement. The central nervous system (CNS) plays the main role in motor control since it activates each muscle choosing ...read more...

Nerve stimulation in tetraplegic patients

Brief Description: The social cost of spinal cord injuries (SCIs) causing high tetraplegia (C1 to C4) can be considered very high, due to the increasing general life expectancy and the quality of medical care. These traumatic events have devastating consequences from ...read more...
