Mobility test protocols for the elderly: a methodological note
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015 Consequences of falls are a major health problem in elderly. Poor balance is the precursor of falls and balance impairment has been evidenced after an injury. On the other hand, balance and stability can be improved with training. At the beginning of the

Transcranial electrical stimulation [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a neuromodulatory technique in which low voltage constant or alternating currents are applied to the human brain via scalp electrodes. The basic idea of tES is that the application of weak currents can interact with neural processing, modify plasticity and entrain brain networks, and that this in turn can ...

Selection of body sway parameters according to their sensitivity and repeatability
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2010 For the precise evaluation of body balance, static type of tests performed on a force plate are the most commonly used ones. In these tests, body sway characteristics are analyzed based on the model of inverted pendulum and looking at the center of ...
