TSP\/HAM diagnosis can be classified as probable, possible, and definite. We compared the static balance control of HTLV-1-infected patients with different TSP\/HAM diagnosis. (2) Methods: Our sample consisted of 13 participants infected with HTLV-1 and 16 healthy participants. The center of pressure was recorded using a force platform with open and closed eyes. We divided the recordings into three intervals, period T1 (corresponds to the first 10 s); period T2 (from 10 to 45 s); period T3 (from 45 to 55 s). (3) Results: Eight participants infected with HTLV-1 were classified as probable TSP\/HAM and five participants infected with HTLV-1 were classified as definite TSP\/HAM. There was a significant increase in postural instability in patients with definite PET\/MAH considering the structural and global variables of body sway compared to the control and the probable TSP\/HAM. (4) Conclusions: We concluded that the severity of balance is directly related to the degree of signs and symptoms of TSP\/HAM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v14112334","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]],"date-time":"2022-10-26T11:53:51Z","timestamp":1666785231000},"page":"2334","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparison of Static Balance Control in Infected Htlv-1 Subjects with Different Tsp\/Ham Diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Kelly Helorany Alves","family":"Costa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"N\u00facleo de Medicina Tropical, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66005240, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patr\u00edcia Seixas Alves","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66075110, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gizele Cristina","family":"da Silva Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"N\u00facleo de Medicina Tropical, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66005240, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2872-1833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew Sousa","family":"Caires","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66075110, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beatriz Helena Baldez","family":"Vasconcelos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Rorraima, Boa Vista 69310000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ramon Costa","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66075110, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariangela Moreno","family":"Domingues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"N\u00facleo de Medicina Tropical, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66005240, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o Nascimento Pinheiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"N\u00facleo de Medicina Tropical, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66005240, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rita Catarina Medeiros","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"N\u00facleo de Medicina Tropical, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66005240, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5265-619X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anselmo","family":"de Athayde Costa e Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias da Educa\u00e7\u00e3o, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66075110, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4525-3971","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Givago Silva","family":"Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"N\u00facleo de Medicina Tropical, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66005240, Brazil"},{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66075110, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9151-3896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bianca","family":"Callegari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias da Sa\u00fade, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Bel\u00e9m 66005240, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S191","DOI":"10.1097\/00042560-199600001-00029","article-title":"An HTLV-I\/II vaccine: From animal models to clinical trials?","volume":"13","author":"Kazanji","year":"1996","journal-title":"J.
