Summary

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) is one form of disease of the small vessels of the brain and can cause frequent cerebral hemorrhages as well as other types of stroke. The aim of the research was to examine the balance of the body in patients after a stroke and to determine how the tension of selected muscles of the cervical spine changes under the conditions of statics and dynamics, depending on the visual control or its absence.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

balance with open and closed eyes

The UNTERBERGER TEST. The subjects performed the test once with their eyes open and then with their eyes closed. The participant's task was to assume a standing position with legs apart at hip-width and then walk in place (50 steps). Static and dynamic balance testing on the Biodex SD balance platform. Moreover, both during the Unterberger functional test and the tests on the Biodex SD balance platform, the muscle tone was assessed in the subjects using the Luna EMG device. Before starting the tests, surface electrodes were glued to the patient's body (according to the SENIAM procedure). Five surface electrodes were used, consisting of three channels. They were placed on the abdomen of the right sternocleidomastoid muscle, two more were placed on the left longus colli muscle, and one reference electrode on the right shoulder process of the scapula. After each completed test, an ongoing test report was generated.
