Transfer of balance performance depends on the specificity of balance training
Journal of Applied PhysiologyOur study showed that improvement in balance performance is task-specific, with transfer depending on functional similarities between the trained and the untrained tasks. Computational nonlinear methods highlighted that training could extend the improved efficiency and automaticity of balance control of the trained task to a similar untrained task ...

Advances in balance assessment and balance training for diabetes
Diabetes Management, 2012SUMMARY As clinicians, we have been searching for objective and widely available outcome measures for our care. We also prefer these measuring processes not to burden our busy clinics or patients’ time. With this in mind, it seems that there are many challenges to treating patients with diabetes. Some of these are well recognized and some are not.

Training or EPT in perimenopause on balance and flushes
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2007AbstractWith advancing age, the postural balance function deteriorates as a consequence of decreased functional capacity. Deteriorating balance is a risk factor for bone fractures due to increased risks of falls. It has been suggested that the loss of estrogen, which occurs in relation to the menopause, may be associated with loss of balance.

Slackline Training for Balance and Strength Promotion
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2010The prevalence of sustaining a sport injury is high in adults. Deficits in postural control/muscle strength represent important injury-risk factors. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a specific type of balance training, i. e. slackline training, followed by detraining on balance and strength performance.

A Comparative Study of Sports-specific Balance Training versus Plyometric Balance Training
Chettinad Health City Medical Journal, 2022Introduction: Football is a sport that involves running as the foremost part in which the lower limb plays a vital role in participation. Balance training is vital to athletic performance and should be integrated into an athlete’s daily training. Plyometric represents the performance of stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) activities that involve a high ...

Dynamic Balance Training by Balance Board for the Elderly
1994Focusing attention on falls, a dynamic balance training program using a balance board was carried out by a group of elderly persons for 3 weeks. We investigated dynamic balance and physical fitness factors before and after training. The subjects included 54 young adults and 58 elderly persons.

Haptic floor for virtual balance training
2011 IEEE World Haptics Conference, 2011Replacing the traditional balance training task with tasks in virtual environment in subjects after stroke was a step toward independent rehabilitation. The virtual reality supported balance training relieved the physiotherapist from strenuous work, besides, also enabled rehabilitation treatment on individuals home and functional balance ability ...
