In the process of space exploration, mankind has managed to change a lot in the biosphere of the Earth. These changes showed that all transformations are possible only up to a certain state. The human body, like the biosphere, can also undergo changes only to a certain state. If the natural balance is disturbed, then these processes can lead to irreversible and sometimes deplorable consequences. In the age of computer technology and robotic technology, the human body is less exposed to physical activity, which is why some muscles atrophy. The human nervous system is more susceptible to stress.
Putting the body in order
First of all, it is necessary for urban residents who need mental and physical training to improve the general condition of the body and increase performance. Physical training brings to work the previously dormant corners of the whole body, reviving them and improving biochemical processes. The breathing becomes even and, as a result, gas exchange is normalized.
A properly designed set of physical exercises improves physical, biochemical and even nervous processes in the body. If they work harmoniously, then the body responds faster to impulses sent by muscles, joints, the vestibular apparatus and other body systems. Therefore, the benefits of therapeutic and preventive gymnastics can be discussed for hours.
Romberg pose: what is it?
If there are any neurological disorders in patients, then doctors will identify them using a special test. This is Romberg's pose. What is it and how to carry it out?
This is a setting in which the patient is in an upright position with arms extended forward. If you wait a while, then a person can sway, his fingers begin to tremble, and in some cases strong tremors can occur, from which you can fall. This is the main indicator of a nervous system disorder.
If the patient under study in the Romberg position is stable, then this indicates the absence of any diseases of the central nervous system.
Romberg test
Romberg's pose is widely known throughout the world. What is this for a healthcare professional? This is primarily the easiest way to detect disorders in the central nervous system. It allows you to determine the patient's ability to be stable and shows whether he can maintain balance at rest. The shakiness in the Romberg position means that the patient has a cerebellar lesion or there are any processes associated with changes in the central nervous system. When making the Romberg test, the patient is asked to stand up with his eyes closed, firmly moving his feet and stretching his arms forward.
Symptoms according to Romberg
If the use of the Romberg pose did not give a clear positive or negative answer, then the patient is asked to complicate it. To do this, put the legs along a straight line, so that the toe of one leg snuggles firmly against the heel of the other. If staggering or jolts of the body in different directions are already noticeable in this position, then this is a consequence of the development of ataxia.
Symptoms according to Romberg are manifested if cerebellum malfunction occurs, as well as its relationship with other parts of the brain and with a disorder of the vestibular apparatus, a violation of sensitivity due to damage to the spinal cord, or with polyneuritis. It is important to determine the direction in which the patient sways, since most often this has diagnostic value. If there is a disease of the cerebellum, then the patient leans toward the affected hemisphere.
It is important to note that it is impossible to speak clearly about a disease of the central nervous system, only relying on this study. Since the Romberg pose is the simplest method, which can only tell about diseases of the central nervous system in the early stages. If deviations are observed when performing this method, then it is worthwhile to conduct an additional full medical examination.
It is also necessary to take into account the fact that swaying in the Romberg position indicates not only neurological diseases, this can indicate the presence of neurosis.
Syndromes in which the cerebellum and its connections are affected
The cerebellum in the human body is responsible for orientation in space. Its neurons instantly respond to sent impulses that are responsible for environmental changes or changing tasks. If cerebellar damage occurs at an early age when the child has not learned motor skills, then it will be extremely difficult to learn movements.
If the defeat occurred when the necessary motor skills were obtained, then the implementation of already known exercises will occur with significant violations. Deviations with respect to the trunk as well as the limbs may be observed. To identify these violations and suitable Romberg pose. Ataxia is a consequence of a violation of the proper functioning of the cerebellum.
Symptoms of cerebellar dysfunction
The main indicator of cerebellar dysfunction is the development of symptoms such as:
- cerebellar ataxia;
- muscle atony;
- asynergy.
Cerebellar ataxia is a deviation from the correct execution of any movements, a decrease in coordination. From the side, such movements can be regarded as unstable, clumsy or sloppy. They seem completely unconnected. In this case, ataxia can affect absolutely any part of the body.
A vestibular test in the Romberg position helps to detect ataxia. These disorders are accompanied by severe dizziness, vomiting and nausea.
With muscle atony, the patient increases the amount of articular movement, the muscles become flabby and lethargic, and because of this, the patient is difficult to perform any physical exercise, and sometimes even just move.
If the coordination of various muscle groups involved in individual movements is disturbed, such a symptom as asynergy develops. For example, with normal movement of the limbs, the patient cannot crawl on all fours, because he does not understand how to coordinate the alternate movement of arms and legs.
Workout with Romberg
Romberg pose - what is it for a healthy person? This is an indicator of the state of the whole organism as a whole. The correct setting in this pose is a condition that a normal, healthy body should have.
Such a posture should be in any person in his youth, when his muscles are still in good shape. Unfortunately, after a hard day's work, as well as with age, it is more difficult for the muscles to keep the body in the correct position, and for this it is necessary to make some efforts. In order to help the body cope with the burden assigned to it, it is necessary to constantly train it. If you periodically perform the exercises, the body will “remember” the correct setting, and you will feel better at the end of the working day, and the years will not affect your health. This is what the Romberg pose means for your body.
