Differential postural effects of plantar-flexor muscles fatigue under normal, altered and improved vestibular and neck somatosensory conditions [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research (2008) 1-31, 2008 The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of plantar-flexor muscles fatigue on postural control during quiet standing under normal, altered and improved vestibular and neck somatosensory conditions. To address this objective, young male university students were asked to stand upright as still as possible with their eyes closed in two ...

Assessment of Postural Control and Proprioception Using the Delos Postural Proprioceptive System
Reabilitacijos Mokslai: Slauga, Kineziterapija, Ergoterapija, 2023 Background. Proper postural control and proprioception are essential for maintaining balance, preventing falls, and performing daily activities. Traditional methods of assessing postural control and proprioceptive function often lack objectivity and ...

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,

Effects of a Perturbation-Based Balance Training on Compensatory Postural Responses to Backward Loss of Balance in Patients with Cerebellar Disease: A Case Study [PDF]
The Asian Journal of Kinesiology, 2021 OBJECTIVES The damage to the cerebellum primarily results in balance-related abnormalities that may affect performance of locomotion and postural adjustments, eventually contributing to an increased risk of fall and fear of falling in patients with ...

Experimental neck muscle pain impairs standing balance in humans [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research 192, 4 (2009) 723-9, 2009 Impaired postural control has been reported in patients with chronic neck pain of both traumatic and non-traumatic etiologies, but whether painful stimulation of neck muscle per se can affect balance control during quiet standing in humans remains unclear.

Postural balance in patients with social anxiety disorder [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2012 Body stability is controlled by the postural system and can be affected by fear and anxiety. Few studies have addressed freezing posture in psychiatric disorders. The purpose of the present study was to assess posturographic behavior in 30 patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD) and 35 without SAD during presentation of blocks of pictures with ...

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
