New Insights on Emotional Contributions to Human Postural Control

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
It has been just over 20 years since the effects of height-induced threat on human postural control were first investigated. Raising the height of the support surface on which individuals stood increased the perceived consequences of instability and ...

The Effects of Elastic Ankle Taping on Static and Dynamic Postural Control in Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability

open access: yesPhysical Therapy Korea, 2021
Background: Postural control deficit is a major characteristic in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Elastic ankle tapings are commonly used to facilitate postural control in patients with CAI as well as prevent relapse of a lateral ankle ...

Hydrogel‐Based 3D‐Printable Stretchable Pressure Sensor

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We present a carbon‐black‐functionalized double‐network granular hydrogel (DNGH) pressure sensor capable of detecting pressures from 200 Pa, equivalent to a light finger touch, up to 500 kPa. The sensor exhibits signal drifts below 3.5% after 800 cycles and response times around 80 ms. Leveraging this broad sensing range, we 3D print this material into

Effects of a salsa dance training on balance and strength performance in older adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Deficits in static and particularly dynamic postural control and force production have frequently been associated with an increased risk of falling in older adults.; The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of salsa dancing on ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Respiratory Signal Processing and Analysis Using Flexible Capacitive Sensor Data

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Capacitive pressure sensors based on poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) substrates are developed for continuous, non‐invasive respiratory monitoring. Integrated with a signal processing algorithm, they enable accurate tracking of thoracic expansion and retraction.

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

open access: yesSensors
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 ...
