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 ...

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.

Normal postural stability and steadiness
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1975A force platform was utilized to provide a new and sensitive means to measure postural steadiness and stability. Normal standards are presented for the center of pressure of the vertical supportive force during standing and sustained weight-shifting of normal men in three age groups.

Impact of military type footwear and load carrying workload on postural stability
Ergonomics, 2018Postural stability has been shown to be impacted by footwear and task performed. This study analysed the impact of two military footwear, standard boot (STB) and minimalist boot (MTB) on postural stability, before (PRE) and after (POST) a load carriage ...

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 ...

Postural Stability Assessment in Sewer Workers
Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 1996In this study, postural stability was measured with a microcomputer-based force platform as an indirect assessment of central nervous system effect in 28 sewer workers (age range 23.4 to 64.5 years, standard deviation of 8.7 years). All workers performed four 30-second postural sway tests. The organic-solvent exposure was measured by a photo-ionization

Automated assessment of postural stability system
2016 38th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2016The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is one of the most commonly used clinical tests to evaluate static postural stability deficits resulting from traumatic brain events and musculoskeletal injury. This test requires a trained operator to visually assess balance and give the subject a performance score based on the number of balance "errors" they ...

BACKGROUND We have previously shown that objective measurements of postural sway predicts fall risk, although it is currently unknown how limits of stability (LOS) might influence these results.
