Riassunto
L’equilibrio e l’orientamento del corpo nello spazio dipendono da informazioni visive, somatosensoriali e vestibolari. Queste sono integrate nelle strutture nervose centrali per produrre un’attivazione di diversi gruppi muscolari mirata a mantenere l’equilibrio e la corretta postura del corpo durante la stazione eretta e il cammino. Pertanto un disturbo del controllo dell’equilibrio e della postura può dipendere da alterazioni dei recettori periferici, di strutture diverse del sistema nervoso centrale e periferico nonché dell’apparato locomotore. Non è quindi del tutto inaspettato che la prevalenza di questi disturbi cresca con l’età della popolazione e diventi uno dei più frequenti sintomi nei pazienti con più di 75 anni [1].
