Postural Balance and Peripheral Neuropathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Postural control can be defined as the control of the body’s position in space for the purposes of balance and orientation [1]. A definition of balance is the ability to maintain or return the body's centre of gravity within the limits of stability that are determined by the base of support (i.e., the area of the feet) [2]; while spatial orientation ...

The influence of lower-limb dominance on postural balance [PDF]

open access: yesSao Paulo Medical Journal, 2011
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Maintainance of postural balance requires detection of body movements, integration of sensory information in the central nervous system and an appropriate motor response. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether lower-limb dominance has an influence on postural balance.
