The Effects of Bicycle Simulator Training on Anticipatory and Compensatory Postural Control in Older Adults: Study Protocol for a Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. Perturbation-Based-Balance Training (PBBT) is a promising approach to reduce fall rates by improving reactive balance responses.

Balance in signed networks [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 99, 012320 (2019), 2018
We consider signed networks in which connections or edges can be either positive (friendship, trust, alliance) or negative (dislike, distrust, conflict). Early literature in graph theory theorized that such networks should display "structural balance," meaning that certain configurations of positive and negative edges are favored and others are ...

What Should Be Balanced in a "Balanced" Face Recognition Dataset? [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The issue of demographic disparities in face recognition accuracy has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Various face image datasets have been proposed as 'fair' or 'balanced' to assess the accuracy of face recognition algorithms across demographics.

An Adaptive Load Balancing to Provide Quality of Service [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In order to utilize network resources and provide a more reliable delivery of information, multipath routing algorithms are used with a higher priority than single path routing. But providing the quality of service (QoS) requirements while load balancing is done among multiple paths is still a challenge.

Lower Cognitive Set Shifting Ability Is Associated With Stiffer Balance Recovery Behavior and Larger Perturbation-Evoked Cortical Responses in Older Adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
The mechanisms underlying associations between cognitive set shifting impairments and balance dysfunction are unclear. Cognitive set shifting refers to the ability to flexibly adjust behavior to changes in task rules or contexts, which could be involved ...

I-BaR: Integrated Balance Rehabilitation Framework [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2023, 2023
Neurological diseases are observed in approximately one billion people worldwide. A further increase is foreseen at the global level as a result of population growth and aging. Individuals with neurological disorders often experience cognitive, motor, sensory, and lower extremity dysfunctions. Thus, the possibility of falling and balance problems arise

Post stroke recovery of balanced sitting and ambulation ability

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Physiotherapy, 1995
The primary aim of this retrospective audit was to determine whether sitting balance ability at initial physiotherapy assessment post stroke could predict ambulation ability at discharge. Also considered were the side affected by the stroke, sensory loss, dysphasia, whether they affected outcome and whether ambulation ability determined social ...
