Stabilometric posturographic platform BALANCE GEASUPER VERTIGOMED

The GEASUPER BALANCE VERTIGOMED Posturographic Platform represents the most advanced and technologically advanced product in the field of Static Posturographics.

Its ease of use, essential design and management software are the synthesis of our design and development skills.

The professional with simple steps can perform a complete balance test (Test of Balance) in less than five minutes by objectifying the postural state of the patient.



POSTUROGRAPHY:

Posturography, literally means graphic representation of posture.

The V-CAPTURE program records and calculates quantitative parameters of the COP and graphically shows its trend over time.

Both analysis techniques (Graphic and numerical) are useful in identifying postural attitudes typical of a pathology.

- SSKG [mm^2]kinesiogram state: The area within which the projection of the center of gravity on the ground moves, relative to the X and Y axes. In this way it is possible to calculate the surface values (S), measured by calculating the area of the confidence ellipse within which 90% of the points recorded during the test are located (ellipse traced in black).
- LSKG stabilogram [mm]: The displacement of the center of gravity as a function of time, displaying separately the X component (oscillations in the lateral plane) and the Y component (oscillations in the sagittal plane). Conceptually it expresses the unrolling of the ball over time.
- Stabilogram module [mm] expresses the distance traveled at each moment of sampling (Gomitolo Graph).
- Frequency spectrum of oscillations : The graph in the frequency domain obtained mathematically by means of the rapid Fourier transform (FFT). It is obtained from the ball of yarn previously processed. As can be seen from the graph: frequency components, the highest amplitudes in non-pathological patients are between 0 and 0.5 Hz. The typical oscillation is at 0.2Hz. The frequency analysis by FFT graphs the energy for each fundamental oscillation (or frequency band) of the stabilogram.

From the processing of these parameters, information can be obtained relating to the postural attitude of the examined patient.
In particular, from the ratio of the surface or length values of the statekinesiogram with eyes closed/open, a stabilometric Romberg quotient can be calculated.

- Romberg quotient: Eye-Closed SKG Surface / Open-Eye SKG Surface x 100 for each of the interference tests.
- Length / Surface (LSF): Ratio between the length SKG and the surface SKG; It provides an assessment of the energy expended to maintain postural balance.
- CP Postural load percentage DX / LH and anterior-posterior, expresses the postural symmetry of the patient.

The main function of a static posturographic system is to analyze the strategy used by the subject to maintain static stability in an upright position. The second use is to quantify the contribution of the various components of the postural system by means of so-called sensitizing tests, which modify the basic condition by means of visual, proprioceptive, vestibular stimulation or suppression ecc.Esempi of SENSITIZED TEST conditions:

- Head retroflexion (Cervical interference).
- Support on soft bases (Reduction of plantar proprioception).
- Proprioceptive insoles (Increased plantar proprioception).
- Swallowing, Occlusal release with cotton, Bite (Occlusion, TMJ).
- Stabilized vision / Suppressed vision (Contribution of visual input).

The test protocol can be parameterized according to the group of exams, so that the transition from one exam to another is automatic. The position of the feet on the support base can be archived. The limits of static posturography as a unique examination in its own right are overcome by simple interventions on the patient's sensory perception.

Dental occlusion plays a vital role in proper body posture. Postural disorders of stomatognathic origin can present a variety of symptoms. If the clinical procedure suggests a mandibular dislocation in habitual occlusion, causing gnatho-postural disturbances, it is necessary to rehabilitate the patient as quickly as possible.
