Sensory Integration Abilities for Balance in Glaucoma, A Preliminary Study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 Abstract The goal of this study was to quantify the association between sensory integration abilities relevant for standing balance and disease stage in glaucoma. Disease stage was assessed using both functional (visual field deficit) and structural (retinal nerve fiber layer thickness) deficits in the better and worse eye. Balance was assessed

Investigating Relationships between Balance Confidence and Balance Ability in Older Adults
Journal of Aging Research, 2021 Increasing balance confidence in older individuals is important towards improving their quality of life and reducing activity avoidance. Here, we investigated if balance confidence (perceived ability) and balance performance (ability) in older adults were related to one another and would improve after balance training.

A Lifespan Approach to Balance in Static and Dynamic Conditions: The Effect of Age on Balance Abilities [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Postural control is a complex sensorimotor skill that is fundamental to our daily life. The abilities to maintain and recover balance degrade with age. However, the time decay of balance performance with age is not well understood. In this study, we aim at quantifying the age-dependent changes in standing balance under static and dynamic conditions. We

Impaired balancing ability in dyslexic children
Experimental Brain Research, 2005 Children with developmental dyslexia struggle to learn to read and spell despite adequate intelligence and educational opportunity. Several lines of research are attempting to establish the neurobiological basis of dyslexia, and low-level sensory and motor deficits have been found in dyslexic populations; furthermore, behavioural and imaging data point
