Postural Indices and Limits of Stability in Subjects Having Chronic Low Back Pain versus Healthy Control: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study [PDF]
Rehabilitacja Medyczna, 2021 Introduction: Balance and postural performance measures are quite variable. These measures can be influenced by chronic musculoskeletal problems. In the literature, contradicting results are given regarding the effects of postural stability indices and ...

Postural Stability and Proprioception Abnormalities in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
Applied Sciences, 2021 Knee osteoarthritis (OA) leads to the damage of all joint components, with consequent proprioceptive impairment leading to a decline in balance and an increase in the risk of falls.

Effects of non-extensible lumbar belts on static and dynamic postural stability
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023 Background Previous studies have found that increased intra-abdominal pressure helps to reduce spinal loading and improve spine stability. Non-extensible lumbar belts (NEBs) could elevate intra-abdominal pressure and augment spinal stability.

Effects of tai chi on postural control during dual-task stair negotiation in knee osteoarthritis : a randomised controlled trial protocol [PDF]
, 2020 Stair ascent and descent require complex integration between sensory and motor systems; individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) have an elevated risk for falls and fall injuries, which may be in part due to poor dynamic postural control during ...

Effects of the Loss of Binocular and Motion Parallax on Static Postural Stability
Sensors, 2023 Depth information is important for postural stability and is generated by two visual systems: binocular and motion parallax. The effect of each type of parallax on postural stability remains unclear.

Postural instability detection: aging and the complexity of spatial-temporal distributional patterns for virtually contacting the stability boundary in human stance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Falls among the older population can severely restrict their functional mobility and even cause death. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms and conditions that cause falls, for which it is important to develop a predictive model of falls.

Significance of finger tactile information for postural stability in humans
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2013 To maintain an erect posture, sensory information must be integrated from the vestibular, visual, and somatosensory systems. Additional somatosensory cues from the fingertips have been proposed to be able to improve postural stability during quiet ...
