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 ...

Association between Depression and Postural Balance in Older Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]

International Journal of Biomedicine
Background: Several studies examined the reciprocal relationship between knee osteoarthritis (KOA), depression, and postural balance separately; however, few studies have investigated the relationship between them. Therefore, this study aimed to identify

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 ...

Correlation between posture and balance in 19-20-year-old Albanian students [PDF]

, 2016
Postural control (or balance) can be defined statically as the ability to maintain a base of support with minimal movement, and dynamically as the ability to perform a task while maintaining a stable position (C. J. Winstein, E. R).

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 ...

Prediction Model for Etiologic Differentiation of Isolated Vestibular Syndrome in Emergency Settings

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for differentiating central from peripheral etiologies in patients with isolated vestibular syndrome (VS). Methods In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, 506 patients with isolated VS from five hospitals were divided into derivation (n = 301) and validation (n = 205)

A validation of mobile sensing actigraphy devices for generating a biomechanical model of posture [PDF]

, 2017
Mobile sensing actigraphy was tested and validated as a modality for computing dynamic posturography. Twelve healthy volunteer subjects (6 male) were administered risperidone and assessed for postural stability using a NeuroCom® Balance Master system and

Developmental, Neuroanatomical and Cellular Expression of Genes Causing Dystonia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Dystonia is one of the most common movement disorders, with variants in multiple genes identified as causative. However, an understanding of which developmental stages, brain regions, and cell types are most relevant is crucial for developing relevant disease models and therapeutics.
