A cohort study on longitudinal changes in postural balance during the first year after stroke
Introduction Many patients with strokes report increased incidence of fall that can be due to impaired postural balance. The recovery of balance in patients with varying degrees of impairments and activity limitations is less studied, and whether ...

Association between functional disability with postural balance among patients with chronic low back pain [PDF]
IntroductionPostural balance is impaired in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). In addition, the swaying velocity can be affected by low back pain (LBP) dysfunction.

Impact of occlusal proprioception on static postural balance. [PDF]
Conflicting results on the effects of occlusal proprioceptive information on standing sway have been reported in the literature, partly due to the heterogeneity of the occlusal criterion studied and the experimental protocol used. In this study, occlusal functions, different mandibular positions and visual conditions were used to investigate the ...
