Postural balance in children with cerebral palsy [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine and Child Neurology, 2002
Postural control deficits have been suggested to be a major component of gait disorders in cerebral palsy (CP). Standing balance was investigated in 23 ambulatory children and adolescents with spastic diplegic CP, ages 5 to 18 years, and compared with values of 92 children without disability, ages 5 to 18 years, while they stood on a force plate with ...

Memristive Motion‐Streak Neuron for Spatiotemporal Multiple Object Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work proposes motion‐streak neuron hardware using amorphous In–Ga–Zn–O optoelectronic memristors and dynamic memristors for spatiotemporal multiple‐object detection. The motion streak neuron array processes optical and electrical stimuli, allowing speed‐dependent filament relaxation to encode motion trajectories.

Falls efficacy, postural balance, and risk for falls in older adults with falls-related emergency department visits: prospective cohort study

open access: yesBMC Geriatrics, 2017
Background Risk for falls in older adults has been associated with falls efficacy (self-perceived confidence in performing daily physical activities) and postural balance, but available evidence is limited and mixed.

Short-term Effect of Elastic Taping on Balance and Postural Control in Patients with Early-stage Parkinson’s Disease -a Non-controlled, Quasi-experimental Study

open access: yesBezmiâlem Science, 2023
Objective:Normal postural control and balance is achieved by the integration of visual, proprioceptive and vestibular sensory information. The patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), on the other hand, experience postural control disorders due to the ...

Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...

Quantitative Assessment of Sensory Integration and Balance in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesChildren, 2022
Postural stability is dependent on the interpretation of external inputs acquired by sensory information processes, such as visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems, in order to accomplish neuromuscular control, balance maintenance, and appropriate

Impact of occlusal proprioception on static postural balance

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Conflicting results on the effects of occlusal proprioceptive information on standing sway have been reported in the literature, partly due to the heterogeneity of the occlusal criterion studied and the experimental protocol used. In this study, occlusal functions, different mandibular positions and visual conditions were used to investigate the ...

Biohybrid Crawling Robot With Spiral‐Spring Backbone and Inclined Legs for Enhanced Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present a biohybrid crawling robot integrating a muscle ring with a flexible skeleton combining two complementary structural elements. The spiral‐spring backbone enables large‐amplitude bending without compromising axial stability, while outward‐inclined legs with unequal front–rear lengths effectively convert deformation into directional strides ...

Head and trunk movement strategies in quiet stance : from the deficit of vestibular loss to the expertise of tightrope walkers via prosthetic feedback [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Is the head more locked to the trunk or stabilised in space during quite stance? Does prosthetic vestibular feedback have a positive impact on movement strategies and muscle synergies of those with vestibular loss?

Comparison of Static and Dynamic Balance of Athletes of Different Sports in Conditions With and Without Posture Disturbances

open access: yesBiyumikānīk-i varzishī, 2019
Objective: Balance is a key component of motor skills to maintain posture and perform complex sports skills. The aim of this study was to compare the static and dynamic balance of athletes in different sports using different conditions of with/without ...
