Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frequently present with vestibular dysfunction and balance disturbances, significantly impacting patients' quality of life and increasing the risk of falls. Vestibular impairments in these conditions can manifest as dizziness, unsteadiness, and difficulty maintaining postural control, further complicating the motor and cognitive deficits typical of these diseases. As a result, the assessment and management of balance dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders have become crucial components of care. Posturography, an objective method for evaluating postural stability and balance control, has emerged as a valuable tool in the vestibular evaluation of patients with neurodegenerative conditions. By providing precise, quantitative measurements of balance deficits, posturography allows for a detailed analysis of postural control mechanisms that may be compromised due to vestibular involvement. This technique not only aids in diagnosing vestibular dysfunction but also plays a key role in developing targeted rehabilitation strategies. When integrated into vestibular rehabilitation (VR) programs, posturography can guide individualized therapy aimed at mitigating fall risk, improving functional mobility, and enhancing patients' overall quality of life. VR exercises, tailored to address specific balance deficits identified through posturographic analysis, can be particularly beneficial in promoting compensatory mechanisms and optimizing patients' functional abilities. This review highlights the significance of posturography as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in managing vestibular impairments associated with neurodegenerative diseases, offering the potential for improved outcomes through more personalized and effective rehabilitation interventions.
