A correlation of radiographic and functional measurements in adult degenerative scoliosis.

29 Jun 2009 STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective functional and radiographic analysis of symptomatic patients with de novo degenerative lumbar and thoracolumbar scoliosis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the radiographic parameters of symptomatic patients presenting with de novo ... Read more...

Off-vertical axis rotation of the visual field and nauseogenicity.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Off-vertical axis rotation (OVAR) causes motion sickness which increases with angle of tilt and is most provocative around 0.2 Hz. The aim was to determine the tilt angle and frequency characteristics for visual OVAR, which is also known ... Read more...

Adaptation of the angular vestibulo-ocular reflex to head movements in rotating frames of reference.

19 May 2009 Head movements in a rotating frame of reference are commonly encountered, but their long term effects on the angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR) are not well understood. To study this, monkeys were oscillated about a naso-occipital (roll) axis ... Read more...
