Balance perturbation system to improve balance compensatory responses during walking in old persons

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2010
Ageing commonly disrupts the balance control and compensatory postural responses that contribute to maintaining balance and preventing falls during perturbation of posture. This can lead to increased risk of falling in old adults (65 years old and over).

Quantitative assessment of postural instability in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 patients

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020
Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is one of the most common hereditary neurodegenerative diseases, with balance instability as main symptom. Balance quantification is crucial for evaluating the efficacy of therapeutic interventions. However,

Association between electromyographic localized muscle fatigue of the rectus femoris and static postural balance in physically active adult men

Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2020
Although the determinant impact of exercise-induced muscle fatigue prior to postural balance assessment has been widely described, recent evidence suggests that hyperventilation and sensorimotor losses, rather than muscle fatigue, are responsible for the

Balance Training Enhances Vestibular Function and Reduces Overactive Proprioceptive Feedback in Elderly

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017
Objectives: Postural control in elderly people is impaired by degradations of sensory, motor, and higher-level adaptive mechanisms. Here, we characterize the effects of a progressive balance training program on these postural control impairments using a ...

Methods and Strategies for Reconditioning Motor Output and Postural Balance in Frail Older Subjects Prone to Falls

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
In frail older subjects, the motor output of the antigravity muscles is fundamental in resisting falls. These muscles undergo accelerated involutions when they are inactive and the risk of falling increases during leisure and domestic physical activity ...

FUNCTIONAL STATE OF THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM IN ELDERLY PERSONS WITH POSTURAL INSTABILITY

Siberian Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture, 2023
Background. Preservation of postural balance allows the elderly people to remain mobile and lead an active lifestyle. There is evidence of the contribution of the ANS to the coordination of postural responses and the maintenance of postural stability in ...

The optimal method for improving postural balance in healthy young and older people: specific training for postural tasks encountered in personal physical practice

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
It is well known that regular exercise or physical activity (training) improves postural balance in healthy young and older subjects, but the optimal exercise or physical activity (i.e., likely to induce the greatest postural improvements) and the ...

Global Rather Than Vertical‐Selective Saccadic Abnormalities in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To test whether vertical saccades are preferentially affected in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Methods PSP patients (n = 24) were compared to age‐matched controls (n = 94) and two degenerative groups (Alzheimer's disease, n = 20; Lewy body disease, n = 50).
