Postural stability predicts the likelihood of cybersickness in active HMD-based virtual reality
Displays (Guildford), 2018Cybersickness is common during virtual reality experiences with head-mounted displays (HMDs). Previously it has been shown that individual differences in postural activity can predict which people are more likely to experience visually-induced motion ...

Postural stability after total hip replacement
International Orthopaedics, 1989Changes in postural stability were recorded before and after total hip replacement using a specially designed computer-assisted forceplate system. Twenty-one patients with unilateral osteoarthritis of the hip were randomised into two groups after operation with either a cemented Charnley or a non-cemented HP-Garches prosthesis.

Postural Stability While Holding Loads in Various Postures
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1993Stability while handling loads is an important issue in the prevention of injuries. This study investigated the effects of load positioning on recovery from an unexpected balance disturbance while standing upright holding loads. Fifteen subjects were tested while holding a box in one of five postures. An empty box and a 25 lb box were tested. Subjects

Posture, dynamic stability, and voluntary movement
Neurophysiologie Clinique/Clinical Neurophysiology, 2008This paper addresses the question of why voluntary movement, which induces a perturbation to balance, is possible without falling down. It proceeds from a joint biomechanical and physiological approach, and consists of three parts. The first one introduces some basic concepts that constitute a theoretical framework for experimental studies.

Postural stability in strabismus and amblyopia
Strabismus, 2023Postural control is a complex skill based on the collaboration of dynamic sensory mechanisms, namely the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems.A literature survey regarding postural stability in strabismus and amblyopia was conducted using databases in order to collect data for a narrative review of published reports and available literature ...

Postural Stability after Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2004Factors related to postural stability and the course of recovery after vestibular schwannoma surgery were analyzed in a retrospective study of 177 patients and in a prospective study of 44 patients. Before surgery, 7 of the 44 patients in the prospective group complained of postural instability. The body sway velocity was measured.

Does work posture affect static postural stability?
ErgonomicsFatigue that occurs following non-ergonomic work postures is a major reason for occupational falls. This study aimed to investigate the effects of four work postures (bending, squatting, sitting, and standing) on static postural stability. Twenty volunteers were recruited, and their static balance was assessed before (PRE), immediately after (POST 1 ...

Dynamic postural stability during advancing pregnancy
Journal of Biomechanics, 2010Pregnant women are at an increased risk of experiencing a fall. Numerous anatomical, physiological, and hormonal alterations occur during pregnancy, but the influence of these factors on dynamic postural stability has not been explored. The purpose of this study was to examine dynamic postural stability in pregnant women during their second and third ...

Impaired postural stability after laparoscopic surgery
Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2015BackgroundEarly postoperative mobilisation may reduce patient morbidity and improve hospital efficiency by accelerated discharge. The aim of this study was to measure postural stability early after laparoscopic surgery in order to assess how early it is safe to mobilise and discharge patients.MethodsWe included 25 women undergoing outpatient ...
