Texting and Walking: Strategies for Postural Control and Implications for Safety

PLoS ONE, 2014
There are concerns about the safety of texting while walking. Although evidence of negative effects of mobile phone use on gait is scarce, cognitive distraction, altered mechanical demands, and the reduced visual field associated with texting are likely ...

Fibrous Pressure Sensor with Unique Resistance Increase under Partial Compression: Coaxial Wet‐Spun TiO2/Graphene/Thermoplastic Polyurethane Multi‐Wall Multifunctional Fiber

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
TGTMW fibers are designed to show a sharp resistance increase under pressure, as the multi‐wall structure in the transition region between compressed and uncompressed areas bends and forms microcracks. This design breaks the physical sensitivity limit of conventional fiber‐shaped pressure sensors, which usually show resistance reduction under pressure ...

Age-Related Changes in Postural Stability in Response to Varying Surface Instability in Young and Middle-Aged Adults

Sensors
As individuals transition into middle age, subtle declines in postural control may occur due to gradual reductions in neuromuscular control. The current study aimed to examine the effect of age on bipedal postural control across three support surfaces ...

Elderly Use Proprioception Rather than Visual and Vestibular Cues for Postural Motor Control

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2015
Multiple factors have been proposed to contribute to the deficits of postural control in the elderly. They were summarized as sensory, motor, and higher-level adaptation deficits. Using a model-based approach, we aimed to identify which of these deficits

Event‐Driven Elongation Monitor for Soft Devices Using a Deformation‐Activated Piezoconductive Switch

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A stretchable, event‐driven strain sensor with low energy consumption is developed using positive piezoconductive composites. These composites remain insulative when relaxed, while they become conductive when stretched. Their electrical characteristics are modifiable by the nickel's weight ratio and cross‐sectional geometry. Strain‐induced switching is

POSTURAL CONTROL IN HEALTHY YOUNG ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT CHRONIC MOTION SENSITIVITY

International Journal of Physiotherapy, 2016
Background: Postural control requires complex processing of peripheral sensory inputs from the visual, somatosensory and vestibular systems. Motion sensitivity and decreased postural control are influenced by visual-vestibular conflicts.The purpose of ...
