One option includes treatment for a disease or disorder that may be contributing to the balance problem, such as ear infection, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's, neuromuscular conditions, acquired brain injury, cerebellar dysfunctions and/or ataxia, or some tumors, such as acoustic neuroma. Individual treatment will ...
Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is often separated into several subtypes, based on the cause and progression of the disease. There are three clinical classifications of SPS: Classic SPS, associated with other autoimmune conditions and usually GAD-positive; Partial SPS variants; Progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM) [4]
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition characterized by an abnormally large increase in heart rate upon sitting up or standing. [1] POTS is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system that can lead to a variety of symptoms, [10] including lightheadedness, brain fog, blurred vision, weakness, fatigue, headaches, heart palpitations, exercise intolerance, nausea ...
Standing for more than two hours a day saw increased circulatory disease risks. Standing too much can raise the risk of circulatory disease, a new study says. Experts say the key is to 'just move.'
Standing places significant pressure on the joint of the hips, knees, ankle and feet but without any significant movement of it. [9] This reduces the normal lubrication and cushioning of synovial joints, causing them to tear. The combined effect of pressure and tearing can cause extensive amounts of pain and make it difficult to move or walk. [3]
Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is the development of symptoms when standing upright that are relieved when reclining. [1] There are many types of orthostatic intolerance. OI can be a subcategory of dysautonomia, a disorder of the autonomic nervous system [2] occurring when an individual stands up. [3]
breathlessness [3] – commonly seen in people with lung diseases or heart disease. fatigue [ 3 ] – when it appears early in an exercise test , it is usually due to deconditioning (either through a sedentary lifestyle or while convalescing from a long illness), but it can indicate heart, lung or neuromuscular diseases .
The disturbance differs from cerebellar ataxia in that with astasis the gait can be relatively normal, with balance significantly impaired during transition from a seated to standing position. This balance impairment is similar to patients with vestibulocerebellar syndrome, which is a progressive neurological disease with many symptoms and effects.
