Postural Stability of Sitting Women

International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2013
The study examined the utility of stabilometric dimensions and explored whether the changes in sitting postures were manifested in functional measures of postural control. Eleven women participated in the study, which used 11 chair sitting postures: arms on laps or arms right angled; armrest at a height of 17, 20 and 23 cm; with or without backrest ...

Smartphone technology can measure postural stability and discriminate fall risk in older adults.

Gait & Posture, 2019
BACKGROUND Falls are the leading cause of injury related death in older adults. Impaired postural stability is a predictor of falls but is seldom objectively assessed in clinical or home settings.

Smoking habits and postural stability

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1994
It has been reported that tobacco smoking temporarily affects postural stability We have examined whether smoking habits have a long-term effect on the body balance control using computer-aided posturography.The postural stability of 80 male forest workers was measured with a force platform technique with eyes closed.

Trunk posture and spinal stability

Clinical Biomechanics, 2001
The influence of trunk posture on musculoskeletal stability of the spine was investigated.A biomechanical model was developed to evaluate the influence of posture on spinal stability. Model performance was assessed by comparing predicted muscle recruitment patterns with measured EMG activity from the trunk muscles during static lifting exertions.An ...

Effects of postural stability, active control, exposure duration and repeated exposures on HMD induced cybersickness

Displays (Guildford), 2019
Cybersickness is common during head-mounted display (HMD) based virtual reality. This study examined whether it is possible to: (1) identify people who are more susceptible to this cybersickness; and (2) find general ways to reduce its occurrence and ...

Multi-session anodal tDCS enhances the effects of postural training on balance and postural stability in older adults with high fall risk: Primary motor cortex versus cerebellar stimulation.

Brain Stimulation, 2018
BACKGROUND Postural control impairment is a key target for rehabilitation of older adults with high fall risk. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) over primary motor cortex (M1) or cerebellum can ...
