Reading and a Balanced Polymorphism for Laterality and Ability
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 1990Abstract The idea that reading ability might vary with right‐left hand skill, such that children with mild biases to the right hand have advantages for learning, while children at both left and right extremes have disadvantages, was supported by findings for a large sample of primary schoolchildren. Poor readers

The effects of soccer training and timing of balance training on balance ability
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2006The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of a soccer training session on the balance ability of the players and assess whether the effectiveness of a balance program is affected by its performance before or after the regular soccer training.

Dynamic and Static Balancing Ability of Preschool Children
Journal of Motor Behavior, 1971Performance differences in dynamic and static balance ability of 150 preschool Ss aged 3,4, and 5 yr. were studied. Ss performed 4 balance-beam tasks and 2 balance-board tasks. An Age by Sex (3 × 2) factorial, design employing both univariate and multivariate ANOVA techniques were the statistics used.

Balancing the Costs and Benefits of Learning Ability
Advances in Artificial Life, ECAL 2013, 2013We study the costs and benefits of plasticity by evolving agents in environments with different rates of environmental change. Evolution allows both hard-coded strategies and learned strategies, with learning rates varying throughout life. We observe a range of change rates where the balance of costs and benefits are just right for evolving learning ...

Review of tests of standing balance abilities
Brain Injury, 1989This review examines tests of standing balance abilities in patients with traumatic brain injury. Patients may compensate for vestibular dysfunction by using other sensory systems. As a result, subtle deficits in balance abilities may not be detected by traditional tests.

Balance and dyslexia: An investigation of adults’ abilities
European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2006Balance ability in dyslexia is an issue of considerable theoretical and applied significance, but the literature currently lacks consensus. This study applied objective measures to established balance tasks. 17 dyslexic adults and 20 controls matched for age and IQ undertook the heel-to-toe balance test for 1 minute. Further “dual task” tests were also

Balancing ability of patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis
European Spine Journal, 2023To determine the relationship between postural sway and the severity of lumbar spinal canal stenosis as well as the effect on postoperative improvement.Stabilometry was performed before and 6 months after surgery in 52 patients (29 men and 23 women; mean age, 74.1 ± 7.8 years) who underwent decompression surgery for lumbar spinal canal stenosis.

Examination of Balance Ability
2021Balance function, one of the biomotor abilities, is affected by the interaction between many motor, sensory and neural systems. It is integrated with the processing of information from visual, vestibular and somatosensory sources by the central nervous system. It is divided into two sub-headings as static and dynamic balance.

Quantitative measures of a robot’s physical ability to balance
The International Journal of Robotics Research, 2016This paper presents quantitative measures of a robot’s physical ability to balance itself actively on a single point, line or area of support. These measures express the ratio of a change in the state of motion of the robot’s center of mass to the amount of action required at the actuated joints in order to produce that change. They therefore represent
