Disease relevance of Musculoskeletal Equilibrium

• CONCLUSION: Serotonin deficit secondary to a defect of melatonin may have disturbed postural muscle tone or postural equilibrium resulting in scoliosis in pinealectomized chicken [1].

High impact information on Musculoskeletal Equilibrium

• Dynamic postural balance in ankylosing spondylitis patients [2].
• Estrogen effects on postural balance in postmenopausal women without vasomotor symptoms: a randomized masked trial [3].
• Serum levels of estradiol and estradiol/sex hormone-binding globulin were negatively and follicle-stimulating hormone levels positively associated with sway velocity (p = 0.0194, p = 0.0036, and p = 0.0052, respectively) and independent of age (p = 0.02 to 0.005), supporting causality between estrogen exposure and postural balance [4].
• The effect of succimer therapy in lead intoxication using postural balance as a measure: a case study in a nine year old child [5].
• Serotonin has been proposed to have a crucial role in maintaining normal postural muscle tone or postural equilibrium [1].

Associations of Musculoskeletal Equilibrium with chemical compounds

• To clarify the effects of organic solvents on the postural balance system, 29 male sandal, shoe, and leather factory workers exposed to n-hexane, xylene, and toluene (solvent workers) were examined by computerized static posturography with sway frequency analysis [6].
• CONCLUSIONS: It can be assumed, that, similar to other alcohols, isopropanol affects postural balance [7].

Gene context of Musculoskeletal Equilibrium

• The results clearly show that, in BPPV patients, there is an impairment of the vestibular system, which seems unable to maintain a normal postural balance [8].
• Postural equilibrium in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis [9].
