Abstract:
Objective:To observe the features of posture control in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). Methods:From May, 2017 to May, 2018, patients with iNPH in our hospital (n = 13) and healthy controls (n = 15) were measured with sensory organization test on Balance Manager. The balance scores and strategy scores under six conditions were recorded and the comprehensive balance scores were calculated. Results:The balance scores decreased in the patients in the conditions of eyes-open/stable-support, eyes-close/stable-support, eyes-close/unstable-support and eyes-disturb/unstable-support compared with those of the controls (|Z| > 2.042, P < 0.05), as well as the comprehensive balance scores (Z = -3.617, P < 0.001); while the strategy scores increased in the conditions of eyes-close/stable-support, eyes-open/unstable-support, eyes-close/unstable-support and eyes-disturb/unstable-support (|Z| > 2.333, P < 0.05). Conclusion:There are balance disorders in the patients with iNPH, mainly associating with the disorders of proprioceptive and vestibular senses, and application of hip strategy.
