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).

The Effects of Chemotherapy-Induced Polyneuropathy on Postural Balance [PDF]
Cureus, 2021 While cancer prevalence and survival rates are increasing, cancer-treatment-related functional decline and decreased quality of life are on the rise. Adverse side effects such as polyneuropathy are commonly associated with neurotoxic chemotherapeutic agents (i.e., taxanes or platinums) resulting in a decrease in postural balance and an increased risk ...

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,

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
