The Relation of Mental Rotation and Postural Stability
Journal of Motor Behavior, 2021Main goal of this study was to investigate the influence of mental rotation tasks on postural stability. 84 participants were tested with two object-based mental rotation tasks (cube vs. human figures), an egocentric mental rotation task with one human figure, a math- (cognitive control) and a neutral task, while standing on a force plate in a both ...

On postural stability and variability
Gait & Posture, 1993Abstract The stability of posture is often assessed directly by the variability of certain centre of pressure parameters, such as length or area of the centre of pressure profiles. Increased variability of these parameters is usually taken as an index of decreased postural stability.

Postural Stability of Athletes in Special Olympics
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2009To assess body equilibrium in athletes with intellectual disability, 60 adults with intellectual disability (30 Down syndrome, 30 nonsyndromic) participating in the 2005 Italian Special Olympics games were tested, and data for 30 healthy control adults were tested.

Different species, from mollusk to man, actively maintain a basic body posture (that is a particular orientation of their body in space) due to the activity of postural control system. For example, marine mollusk Clione and man maintain the vertical (headup orientation), the fish and terrestrial quadrupeds maintain the dorsal side-up body orientation ...

Trunk position sense, postural stability, and spine posture in fibromyalgia
Rheumatology International, 2019This study aimed to investigate trunk position sense, postural stability, and spine posture in women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Fifteen (15) women with FMS and age- and gender-matched fifteen (15) healthy controls were included. Trunk position sense as indicated by trunk reposition errors (TRE) and spine posture (thoracic and lumbar curvature ...

The difficulty of postural tasks amplifies the effects of fatigue on postural stability
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2014It was supposed that the difficulty of postural tasks accentuates the effects of fatigue on postural stability. The aim of this work was to compare the effects of fatiguing running on three different postural conditions presenting different levels of difficulty: a standing still position with the eyes open (EO condition), a standing still position with

Time course of haptic stabilization of posture
Experimental Brain Research, 2006Contact of the index finger with a stable surface greatly attenuates postural sway in blindfolded subjects. The time course of postural stabilization was measured after subjects made finger contact with a surface. Subjects (n=12) were tested standing in a heel-to-toe stance in 25 s duration trials.

Stability, Movement and Posture
1985Adjustment from the quadruped status to the bipedal mode of locomotion has added the hazard of falling to all the other consequences of the change, which may be anything from flat feet, osteoarthritis, herniae, prolapsed discs and kyphosis, down to an ordinary trip fall.

Body Sway Stabilization in Human Posture
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990Electromyographic (emg) responses and joint movements of the leg were analysed in subjects standing with eyes closed on a sinusoidally moving treadmill (0.16 Hz or 0.33 Hz, amplitude 33 cm). Activity in antagonistic leg muscles was reciprocally modulated, with a predominant gastrocnemius activation during deceleration of forward movement and tibialis ...
