Overview
Brief Summary
The instrumental evaluation of standing postural control by posturographic analysis supplements the clinical evaluation and, as such, is recommended by the French National Authority for Health (HAS 2007). The quantitative data obtained after a standardized postural examination appear relevant for the longitudinal follow-up of neuromuscular patients and hemiparetic patients. Neuro muscular (NM) diseases are progressive, these instrumental evaluations can highlight a deterioration or stabilization of postural control possibly not observable with the scores on clinical scales.
The K-Force Plates, recently developed appear to be an interesting alternative to the stabilometry platforms currently used. Static and dynamic conditions in upright position are tested. Moreover, posturologic, kinematics data and clinical scores are correlated to increase understanding of strategies during postural control tasks in patients with stroke and in patients with NM disorders.
Detailed Description
To date, no clinical validation study of these K-Force Plates force platforms has been proposed. The investigator hypothesize that the data obtained by the Plates are comparable to the measurements made by the reference tool, the AMTI platforms during a static and dynamic posturographic examination in MNM, hemiparetic and healthy subjects. The strategies of the patients (stroke and NM) during the dynamic task are also explored with kinematic analysis in correlation with data from force platforms and clinical scores.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Evaluate the concurrent validity of K-Force Plates (K-Invent) force platforms in comparison with reference platforms (AMTI) for posturological examination in static and dynamic conditions of MNM subjects (CMT), hemiparetic subjects and healthy subjects.
Time Frame: Day 0
Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of the mean velocity of the pressure center (CP) with the both platforms during the posturological examination. The average of 3 tests carried out will be taken
Secondary Outcomes
- Evaluate convergent validity with the reference scale for the assessment of equilibrium disorders(Day 0)
- Compare the posturology and kinematics between stroke and healthy subjects and between NM and healthy subjects(Day 0)
