    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Alkoholwirkung auf die Standsicherheit wurde in einem Akutexperiment bei 12 gesunden Versuchspersonen untersucht. Sie tranken innerhalb 1h 11 Wein. Die danach gemessenen Blutalkoholspiegel lagen zwischen 0,9 und 1,67 mg/ml. Die Standmessung am Ende der Trinkphase und 1h danach ergab bei geschlossenen Augen eine signifikante Zunahme der Körperunruhe, vor allem durch vermehrtes antero-posteriores Schwanken. Der Vergleich der Ergebnisse der Posturographie im Akut-experiment und bei Patienten mit umschriebenen cerebellären Läsionen verschiedener Lokalisation zeigt, daß auch im Akutexperiment, wie durch den chronischen Abusus, vor allem das Spinocerebellum durch den Alkohol in seiner Funktion beeinträchtigt wird.
    Notes: Summary The effect of an acute intoxication with alcohol on the stability of stance was examined in 12 healthy subjects. They drank 11 of wine within 1h. The resulting blood alcohol concentrations ranged between 0.9 and 1.67 mg/ml. Static posturography at the end of drinking and 1h later revealed a significant increase in body sway which was mainly due to an increase in anteroposterior sway only present with closed eyes. A comparison of the results of posturography after acute intoxication with the data of patients with permanent lesions confined to the different functional subunits of the cerebellum shows that the acute effect of alcohol largely resembles that of a chronic lesion of the cerebellar anterior lobe (the spinocerebellum).

    Notes: Summary Postural instability was measured and short, medium and long latency EMG responses to angular displacement of the ankle were recorded from leg muscles in a group of 17 alcoholics who presented with clinical signs of cerebellar atrophy of the anterior lobe. Recordings were performed twice (average interval 18.5 months) to determine the effects of continued drinking versus abstinence on the signs of the cerebellar damage. Patients who were abstinent (n=11) exhibited a significant, sometimes dramatic decrease of body sway whereas patients who continued drinking (n=6) showed increased body sway when the eyes were closed. Short and medium latency EMG responses were unaltered in both groups of patients. The integral of the long latency response of the antagonist tended to increase with continued abuse and to decrease in abstinent patients.
