Virtual Balancing for Studying and Training Postural Control [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Postural control during free stance has been frequently interpreted in terms of balancing an inverted pendulum. This even holds, if subjects do not balance their own, but an external body weight. We introduce here a virtual balancing apparatus, which produces torque in the ankle joint as a function of ankle angle resembling the gravity and inertial ...

Improving Gait Balance of the Blind During Robot-Assisted Guidance by Providing Static External Reference

IEEE Access
The gait of blind individuals is characterized by reduced gait stability and postural balance due to their limited sensory information. However, existing systems focus on guidance capability rather than improving gait stability and postural balance ...

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

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)

Scoliosis Surgery in a Patient With Advanced Friedreich's Ataxia—It Is Not Too Late

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Friedreich's ataxia is a multisystem disorder with scoliosis being the most common non‐neurological manifestation. While scoliosis surgery is typically performed in adolescent, ambulatory patients, few data exist on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced disease.

Lived and care experiences of chronic musculoskeletal shoulder pain in Australian adults: A qualitative study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Australian evidence on lived and care experiences of chronic musculoskeletal shoulder pain (CMSP), irrespective of disorder classification or disease, is limited. However, such evidence is important for person‐centred care and informing local service pathways and care guidelines or standards.

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

Children, 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
