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

open access: yesJournal 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).

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

open access: yesRevista 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
