Balance, Gait Kinematics, and Fear of Falling After a Four-Month Targeted Training Program in a Patient with Cervical Dystonia
In cervical dystonia (CD), balance and gait impairments can compromise daily activities and negatively affect quality of life. However, interventions addressing these deficits remain poorly investigated. A 54-year-old woman with CD, presenting balance and gait difficulties that interfered with work-related motor tasks, underwent a four-month training program. Sessions (40 min, three times per week) combined lower-limb strengthening, proprioceptiv…
Geo-material provenance and technological properties investigation in Copper Age menhirs production at Allai (central-western Sardinia, Italy)
During the 2nd millennium BC anthropomorphic menhirs belonging to a 3rd millennium BC sanctuary were reused as building material in the Arasseda Nuraghe (Sardinia, Italy). To analyse the Arasseda menhirs and the local Monte Ironi geological samples (presenting similar visual features), chemical (pXRF, ICP-OES, ICP-MS), mineralogical-chemical (PXRD) and physical (Mohs hardness) measurements were performed. Through the experimental data, the menhir…

A Human Occupation Cave During the B ronze A ge
Investigation of a prehistoric settlement in the south‐western S ardinia area attests to human occupation by the Nuragic civilization in a cave during the Early and M iddle B ronze A ge. An occasional human presence is recorded from the Early B ronze A ge and a continued one relating to rural (cultivation, storage) and domestic (ceramic, metallurgy) activities is documented in the M iddle B ronze A ge. These distinct settlement phases have been r…
A Petrographic Study of the Anthropomorphic Stelae from the Megalithic Area of Saint‐Martin‐De‐Corléans ( A osta, N orthern I taly)
The Megalithic Area of Saint‐Martin‐de‐Corléans ( A osta, northern I taly) consists of anthropomorphic stelae dated to the Copper Age and the beginning of the Early Bronze Age. They were carved in different lithologies of varying provenance according to two successive artistic styles, ‘ancient’ and ‘evolved’. A minero‐chemical and a petrographic investigation were carried out on 47 stelae and on reference samples collected from eight different ou…
Black and Red Granites in the Egyptian Antiquity Museum of Turin
A recent project to investigate the stone artefacts preserved in the Egyptian Antiquity Museum of Turin has been undertaken, with the aim of supplying their systematic classification and suggesting the provenance site of the original raw materials. This paper focuses on seven sculptures dating back to the New Kingdom (18th–19th Dynasties): the statue of Ramses II, three of the 21 sculptures of the goddess Sekhmet, the statue of the goddess Hathor…
