Cortical control of postural responses [PDF]

Journal of Neural Transmission, 2007
This article reviews the evidence for cortical involvement in shaping postural responses evoked by external postural perturbations. Although responses to postural perturbations occur more quickly than the fastest voluntary movements, they have longer latencies than spinal stretch reflexes, suggesting greater potential for modification by the cortex ...

Balance Performance across the Lifespan Assessed by the Leonardo Mechanograph®: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]

, 2019
Reference values of sway parameters have not been published for the Leonardo mechanograph® so far. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine normative values on postural control measured by the force plate Leonardo Mechanograph® and to ...

Postural control in Parkinson's disease

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2014
Postural instability is one of the most disabling features of Parkinson's disease.To evaluate postural balance in Parkinson's disease.Thirty patients with Parkinson's disease were compared with controls using Tetrax™ interactive balance system posturography.For different positions, patients with Parkinson's disease showed a significantly higher weight ...

Effects of Balance Training on Postural Control in Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability: A Systematic Review [PDF]

Biyumikānīk-i varzishī, 2022
Objective The Objective Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries in athletes. One of the limitations of people with chronic ankle instability is the lack of postural control.

Dual tasking under compromised visual and somatosensory input in elderly fallers and non-fallers [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Performance of additional tasks disturbs postural control in elderly. It is unknown, however, how postural control is affected in elderly fallers and non-fallers in a reduced sensory situation.

Interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with vestibular disorder and healthy controls

, 2001
OBJECTIVES - To determine whether interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with balance system impairment and healthy subjects is due to general capacity limitations, motor control interference, competition for ...

Eye Movements Affect Postural Control in Young and Older Females [PDF]

, 2016
Visual information is used for postural stabilization in humans. However, little is known about how eye movements prevalent in everyday life interact with the postural control system in older individuals. Therefore, the present study assessed the effects

Altered postural timing and abnormally low use of proprioception in lumbar spinal stenosis pre- and post- surgical decompression

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is frequently associated with postural instability. Although several studies evaluated patients’ functional impairments, underlying sensorimotor mechanisms are still poorly understood.

Balance training reduces brain activity during motor simulation of a challenging balance task in older adults: an fMRI study [PDF]

, 2018
Aging is associated with a shift from an automatic to a more cortical postural control strategy, which goes along with deteriorations in postural stability.

Age-related decrease in motor cortical inhibition during standing under different sensory conditions [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Although recent studies point to the involvement of the primary motor cortex in postural control, it is unknown if age-related deterioration of postural control is associated with changes in motor cortical circuits.
