Activity‐Based Functional Exercise for Disability in Systemic Sclerosis: Protocol for a Feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial [PDF]

Musculoskeletal Care
ABSTRACT Introduction Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is associated with substantial disability in affected patients. Although exercise interventions for SSc have been developed, most focus on isolated body segments rather than global disability. Thus, this study aims to assess the feasibility of a functional activity‐based exercise programme designed to ...

Neural Bases of Postural Control [PDF]

Physiology, 2006
The body posture during standing and walking is maintained due to the activity of a closed-loop control system. In the review, we consider different aspects of postural control: its functional organization, the distribution of postural functions in different parts of the central nervous system, and the activity of neuronal networks controlling posture.

Lifespan changes in postural control

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractLifespan development of postural control shows as an inverted U-shaped function with optimal performance in young adults and similar levels of underperformance in children and older adults. However, similarities in children and older adults might conceal differences in underlying control processes.

Hypothetical control of postural sway [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2020
AbstractQuiet standing exhibits strongly intermittent variability that has inspired at least two interpretations. First, variability can be intermittent through the alternating engagement and disengagement of complementary control processes at distinct scales.
